  • RIP R33

  • If this game gets a good kick in the ass, as in a good re-make and is published properly will be a very popular MMO no doubt.Sadly, the player base is kind of small..

  • @theheadhunter502 It's old, it's stagnant, it's competing with more and more F2P games every year, and it's servers cannot handle the kind of gameplay the game requires.

    I'm currently enjoying Star Trek Online myself. Darkspace is always there but I find myself wanting to play it less and less after the changes to planet defense and capturing. I find this version boring.

  • This game is full of stuck up power mad staff. The staff will mock anyone who needs assistance. Their first and only line of defence is to BAN anyone, their is no form of discussion or form of communication available. This game is dated it shows. There has been no improvements to change the style of game play or introduce a viable option when the servers are empty, which occurs for about 20 hours of any given day. It will be a distant memory for anyone who plays the game.

  • @danleeca I do hear you on that. The staff are unprofessional and one in particular is particularly bad at it. But that's what you get with volunteers. I do wish Faustus demanded more professionalism from them but we don't pay anything for the game so we can't expect much either.

    Something is seriously broken right now anyway. I'm getting query errors with the website and invalid username when trying to log in. Somebody messed something up pretty bad, or their hardware is finally failing.

  • nostalgia. I feel like making better version of darkspace. Now that I can.. Hmmm. Either way hello to admbito (you suicidal fuck), banshee (pro) and flipper (inspiration). Good times. And also starfleet, hope you are still around asshole :) Lets not forget the dawg, best wing man I ever had. And of course RIP R33.

  • @cmaylone3 Technically, I'm trolling a 22 minute old post now.

  • @cmaylone3 Somebody with an IQ over 20 would have realised I only read your comment recently.

  • Looks sweet, I'm a veteran space sim player and this looks like it will tickle my multiplayer fancies.

  • @cmaylone3 You have fun with that then, this game requires intelligence. So we don't want idiots like you clouding up the game's community.

  • Wait, game is free now? no more $15 a month? word? oh damn, i feel like playing this again, before you needed to pay to get faster xp, and past i believe it was LT.Col which free accounts only gave destroyer class ships at best.

  • @qwedgr its under downloadds it will be on top left my name is *unstoppable* in the game so if u need anything just ask :) and cmaylone3 its not a bad game in my opinion it is better then eve and this was what 3 years ago? and its 2010 so i say at least give it a try and it is not a resource demanding game fairly old computers can play it(to a certain extent)

  • @qwedgr its under downloadds it will be on top left my name is *unstoppable* in the game so if u need anything just ask :)

  • looks a bit good, but when i get to the website theres no thing for download????

  • This game is a Lot Like NAVYField except it's in space. But the gameplay looks exactly like it!

  • WHen i play Darkspace, it always reminds me of Firefly, which is one reason i love it :)

  • irgendwie bekomme ich bei der registrierung keinen aktivierungskey zugesendet :( hat wer eine ahnung voran es liegen könnte ? email ist hundert pro richtig angegeben

  • ugto ftw!!!!!!!!!!

  • why does this video say " EVE"

  • @6headshot9 this game is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This game is on the older side; It was released on December 20, 2001. The graphics aren't the best but are quite decent. Gaming is awesome, more fun than other MMO's & it doesn't appear that you're grinding because it is fun. You can play 3 factions & switch around at will unless you join a fleet, then you play that one. The game will play well even on older systems.

  • Wow, so now it's free? I think I'll give it a try. Maybe I'll find it to be an mmo which I was looking for a long time.

  • I played Eve for about a month. I had a cruiser, destroyer, etc. and a lot of ISK. I just started playing DarkSpace (played about 3 days now) and it's way more fun. This game would be great with the Nexus 2 engine (hint hint). Join us a Nexus Reborn Forums: nexusreborn (dot) com

  • can i play this with an old crappy pc?

  • I prefer eve online over this game. Anytime your placed in a bad situation and you want to jump out to safe your own skin you have to wait for some recharge time that only seems to recharge right when you need it most, it takes way to long. With eve you take about a few seconds and your out in no time. Eve is worth the money if you want a online space game.

  • @Morkintash I found that Eve took forever to jump. While your ship is taking two minutes to align for the jump, the enemy has time to blast you out of space. Also, just about everyone is going to have a device aboard their ship that makes it impossible to jump, you often can't anyway.

    The biggest problem with Eve is that when your ship explodes, you lose everything, including the expensive items fitted to the ship. This can be millions of ISK & insurance doesn't come close to paying for it.

  • Actualy.. DS is moving more and more to a dice roll system.

    "insider info"

  • my god, this game looks a lot older then Freelancer... how old is it?

  • @turgsh01 The game was released December 20, 2001.

  • I played this game like 8 years ago, I really liked. Too bad I never get to fly those Dreadnought Class warships (I dun have to the money for premium service). But then again, I'll be satisfied flying a Battle Cruiser. (The biggest ship you can you when you play it for free)

  • u can try it now its totaly free and dreadrought are free to u dont need pay they deleted it read news in forums its says its totaly free and i asked feve players with dres and they told same. so its free try it now u can play

  • gonna dl this now

  • great vid search me up painfulangel

    or tjdover123 one of em

  • @Johnny8Muffin ....... So everything you say in game is a total lie... duely noted. (Defiance)

  • i dont know how to get new ships :S

  • Ah the good old days, you know i might come back to DS for my fellow players sake,(goes to sign up now)

  • doesnt really look fun.........

  • @6headshot9 Man, this is probably the best subscription deal you'll get, The cash is worth the value.

  • @6headshot9 But Eve is a completely different kind of game; it won't satisfy the kind of itch Darkspace will.

    The only thing the two games have in common is that they take place in space with spaceships. The similarities end there.

  • @mrsparkle001 Actually, this is eve for the man who can't be arsed to wait 30 seconds to move an inch. This is much faster paced and action packed than EVE, but it shares a lot of similarities, particularly in combat.

  • Combat is one of the things DS doesn't share at all with EVE. In DS you're in direct control of your ship at all times, whereas EVE is much more like RTS combat.

  • You hold combat modules like in EVE, you click on the target and select the modules you want to fire like EVE, and you see if your guns kill the enemy first like EVE. Of course fleet battles are entirely different, as EVE is a metaverse, and fleet battles are a lot larger and more sophisticated than DS's fairly fast-paced and exciting ship combat.

  • Actually solo combat requires more attention to detail. In eve, at any given moment, you'll want to retreat or orbit at certain points or keep at range to maintain greater accuracy, etc., etc.

  • @mrsparkle001 man change titles its now totaly free and only thing what u can buy is kredits for what u can buy enchacements but u get one encahcements per one kill now u can be sheif marshal withoutr paying cash adn i think dfarks space is better tha eve online

  • @mrsparkle001 DS is now completely free... Just FYI

  • @Drafell I know it's in the description

  • @mrsparkle001 EVE isnt a space mmorpg in ANY way, its a MMOE (E stands for economy, since basically all combat oriented ships are there to what? Cause MONETARY damages.)

  • @mrsparkle001 DS is now totally free, FYI.

  • first of all i dont prefer icc and second i am soooo subscribing to this game once i have money

  • i liked EVE online but its too expensive so i register to this one lets see whats this :D

  • Yea this game is officially dead.... LOL deadspace

    literally.... hardly is anyone online

  • It's funny seeing Darkspen's name in these credits, considering I know him in real life. He brags about this game all the time.

  • Cept darkspace came out way before Eve.

    As well as it is totally different gameplay, such as you get to dodge and fire rather then D&D/roll dice like how eve online horribly is. I don't understand the joy for eve online when you click a couple buttons and the rest is done via dice, gets mighty boring. Though eve online has graphics, thats really it.

  • It's nothing like eve online. It's twitch for one.

  • The game just goes F2P 3 days ago.

  • Yep, just added that info, thanks for reminding me!

  • I played this game for a little bit. The game is pretty much dead. Not sure why the developer doesn't just take it as a loss, and move on and create or work on new games....that people will play.

  • i hate passive voice. Did they stop teaching English in schools?

    "Preparations must be made"... by WHO? Who must make preparations?

    Better:

    "We must make preparations."

    Best:

    "We must prepare."

  • Can't be "we" because there was a chance back then that the MI would be a playable faction.

  • It may have a chance now with F2P :) Let's see. I still want them to focus on the old scenario gameplay though! That's when the game rocked!

  • he's talking about all side

  • is it free

  • sadly no once u create a account u have 2 weeks to play free untill u have to play and a certin level u get to then you cant get any more ships

  • I wish I knew what you meant by "noob"? The game is over 8 years old now.

  • ive played this game before. its fun. until your free trial is up(unless you pay for it) :(.

  • it was a free trail until now its free but have to pay to get more accese

  • this is p2p right?

  • It's p2p for advanced access. Otherwise free.

  • ok

    whats the 14 day trial about then?

  • That's for full access. Limited access means certain restrictions on the ships you can use, although there is no time limit imposed.

  • wicked music man, nice!

  • Darkspace is becoming hugely active recently.

    Was in like 3 major battles today.

  • My buddy told me they are having a free two week trial. Might as well sign up... it's fucking free.

  • I uh thought space was 3D, awfully nice of them all to fight on a linear plane like that.

  • Is this game close to Freelancer or DarkStar One? Is there trade involved (buy low, sell high)? Are there mining asteroids or bounty hunting?

  • There's no trading or mining or anything. It's almost pure PvP. There will be a sort of bounty hunter system when the missions are reinstated. This game is like the FPS of online spaceship games.

  • I recommend the 30 day trail. The game isn't worth paying for and you get about as much out of it in 30 days as you ever will.

    The servers are near-empty at all times. At most every day there's one or 2 one-sided-battles going on to take control of a planet.

    The only fun part is bombarding planets and dropping troops onto them. The PVP aspect is horrible, the players spin around in 2d circles firing their guns at eachother until the newer player (always) loses. There is no 3d aspect.

  • Thank you for the nice response. That is useful.

  • deppends who you are, its not worth paying for if u have 20 hours a day to play something else and your the type who needs easy accomplishments to keep your interests peaked lol but if u like hte game why not pay, most would find it much more enjoyable in a dread then a frigate, not me i love my super frigate but dont try to decide for others what they think is worth paying for..go back to WoW and your hourly azz kissing achievments...

  • WoW's not even worth paying for...super surprised there's so many people playing it.

  • Dude you just made my day ^^

  • Been wanting to try this one for a while. Soon as i get through my backlog of games I need to finish I will dive right into Dark Space. A space game in a persistant online world? i should have been here a long time ago when it first came out, but I was busy with games like Everquest and then swore off these highly addicting games for a while.

  • you should try EVE online then

  • One of the best games 5 years ago :) Played it a lot but after patches like upgrades for the ships it becomes a bit lame !! gonna download it again and try 1.5 ICC ASSACULT CRUISER forever ^^

  • I tried the new version and it rocks. There's no more ship upgrading, it's automatic. You can easily switch certain items for other similar items, like one cannon type for another. And there's AI - lots of it! There's never nothing to do.

  • The graphics suck, but the gameplay is unmatched.

  • lol, that graphic engine makes me laugh. EVE Online is way better than this but Im guessing this game is diffrent. EVE is more strategic

  • It's an old Video - Graphics have improved. And your right - EVE and DS are quite diferent but in DS you start fighting immedietaly instead of waiting for weeks...

  • It's way different. It's all about pvp and piloting your ship in real time. Graphics are a bit dated but the game is a bit dated.

    I haven't tried the new version.

  • agreed ^^ I think ill go for it when i find more time :)

  • This game is awesome. Its a pain to gain pres though.

  • waooo this game looks awsome

  • its a good game i played like 3 years ago but the lame part that it isint free :(

  • its kinda free now.. look in this link and you will find a free dl

  • actualy its not free you need to pay 10$ a month

  • i played this game like mebe 5 years ago lol mebe more, but it rocked then and since its tuesday, WoW's weekly server downtime, im downloading it again :) game rocked then, ill see if its worth a full account now :)

  • Is a MMO RTS?

  • This game is not gay. I am a Grand Admiral and a Beta tester for this game. I also play EVE and have over 16mil skill points. Both games have there unique status and both games are good. It is just to bad that I have to pay 25.00 a month to play both.

  • this a good idea, needs meatier graphics, looks pre-Homeworld. That's bad.

  • this game is gay, eve owns

  • "Behave yourself."-fellow EVE players

  • ICC Missile Dread \o/

  • MIR ships in order showed are: legion cruiser, dread and transport

  • My sugestion for this beta for this day is 7/10.

  • PB, we will be back..

  • This is alot more fun than EvE

  • NICE. Loved the music. Although i gotta say, took me a while to figure out it waws a violin.

  • Drafell did a fantastic job with the music!

  • awesome :D

  • ok,i Donwloaded the game,but it wont work,can some one help me?

    (Contac info;xfire:nightmarebrent or PM me on here.)

  • Unfortunately theres a temporary bug with the lobby, you need to rollback a redundant security update that can be found on the darkspace . net forums, explaining how and why

  • i dl this game and it wouldn't install,did i miss something??

  • good game. Code needs to be cleaned up and I wish more people played it.

  • I play this game =] my name is | Dark Hiigaran |

    I'm with UGTO and it's one of my favorite game

  • lmao dark its me Tensa Zangetsu lol i cant get on for sum reason cuz the download wont work can u tell me witch client to use?

  • how does this game work , is it a universe and you go where every you want or is it an area time game where you join a channel and just fight?

  • It's a universe where you can go anywhere, do anything, space is controlled by planets, and you can space by bombing and capturing neutral/enemy planets.. but be warned, if you try, you will be met with fierce combat. This video is only about the combat aspect, which is a large (but not consuming) aspect of this great game. It's a game of universal dominance, read up about it on the website darkspace . net and try the free trial, its a cheap subscription

  • Might give this game a shot. Will have to wait and see how it goes. I didn't like Eve Online but I love Allegiance, so its a maybe.

  • Damn that game looks good i'm so gonna play it now! :)

  • sweet game dude....i'm like WTF i've been banned when i tried to create an account for like ..12 hours? lol

  • ya no cussin i play it lol

  • MR SPARKLE!! long time no see =D Nice vid!

  • good game

  • if you don't buy this game you're an idiot

  • if you dont buy this game you're an idiot

  • such good games must have a price :(

  • Darkspace is free now....

  • Well it's free to demo. There's still a subscription fee, but it's only 9.99/month (or like how I do it, 50/6 months). You do get 2 weeks free when demoing though so you can experience prestige gain and pilot new ships.

  • Yeah I'm the little ICC frigate that got destroyed shortly after that clash between ICC and UGTO in the beginning of the movie. Lucky for me that scene didn't make the final cut :)

  • You can see me at about :17 coming from the right

  • awsome i love darkspace and i was in it as well

  • GOOOOOO Dark Space.
