"Darkstar One" is a game that is
primarily story-based and therefore pre-defined; however,
"Darkstar One" also offers a fantastic amount of freedom
of choice for the players.
The story-based missions gradually lead the player deeper into
the galaxy to new races, new technologies and ever stronger
opponents. More and more solar systems will become available and may
be visited. The artifacts of an ancient race, which are hidden in
these solar systems, are essential to upgrade the player ship - the
Darkstar One.
Additionally, our hero urgently requires credits in order to
purchase better equipment such as weapons and shields. This is where
the freedom of choice is applied as the player will be able to earn
credits in many different ways: assignments, bounty hunting, piracy,
smuggling, trading, escorting, transport, rewards
