Darkstar One is nothing like Freelancer and this can be a good or a bad thing.
Those following reflect best this game :
1. Hard and difficult to manage combat system - game developers choose the military targeting system, totally inadequate for a space sim . Still is fun and challenging to kill fast pirates , bounty hunters and mercenary.
2. Limited trading opportunities - getting a higher load is related to ship
upgrade aka finding enough artifacts to level up energy, weapons and equipment . To load 100 or 200 t you`ll need the proper equipment and is not available in the beginning.
3. Upgrading Darkstar One - fun while searching artifacts in different sectors, but limited because you can`t buy the best weapons right away.
