I toyed with the idea of downloading the German demo, figuring after 4 years of living with a German-speaking girl, I'd be able to muddle through. Then I realized I'd only understand it if the language was REALLY filthy.

ROTFLMAO !!!!!

That's the sign of either a really HOT relationship, or a really BAD one !!!

X3. I Installed it, drooled at the incredible graphics, then uninstalled it.

It was impressive to watch, so much going on and so well done. Then I actually tried to play the game. Within half an hour I gave up on the controls and got rid of it.

When I got a look at the screenies of DO (Darkstar One), I immediately got the familiar Freelancer feeling. Yeah, that's one to watch out for.
This one is certainly going to be added to my collection of space sims. I hope you will be able to chose how to fly the sim. Fly it with two joysticks or fly it with the mouse (Freelancer style).
Thanks for the link, I'll keep an eye on this one!

I like X3. Still play it from time to time. I finished the story, which was the typical SciFi stuff and mostly forgetable. I like the empire building aspect and exploring the universe, its hugely open ended and the combat is fun.

At this point I have a small fleet of 4 heavy fighters, a gunboat, 4 heavy transports doing automated cargo runs and a HUGE factory that makes me money.

There are quite a few player created scripts that add small wars, Star Wars ships, etc.

I love this genre too, I'll definatly get DO if the reviews are favorable.
