Space-sims

[Marburg]

I'm curious myself about Darkstar One

Battlecruiser Millineum evolved into 'Universal Combat' & was (or is) a very cool experiment.

The creator tried to sew the arm of an FPS onto the head of a space-sim, & the instruction book is like 200 pages.

It gave you the ability to land your shilp on planets in various areas & then switch to 'first-person' to do the killing thing

The attempted 'realisim' of space travel was cool too...& to this day, I have fantasys about someone making a mod like that for FL'er once we get our grubby hands on the source code.
(I drool everytime I imagine switching to 1st-person after docking anywhere in Sirius)

Ultimately though, it drove me here

X3:R is a BEAUTIFUL game, & again, I drooled...this time collecting into a puddle that I slipped on & almost aquired a concussion...then I tried to figure out how to maneuver.

After only 2 days, it drove me back here after a 5-month disapearance.

That leaves DS1...when I get around to checking it out, I wonder how long it will take for it to drive me back here.:)
