DARKSTAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DUCHESS ANNABEL’S WAR IS OVER
Darkstar - Starship Schematic Sample
Just a sample of some of the warships available for players in Darkstar. There are seven general warship categories, ranging from gunship, corvette, frigate, destroyer, light cruiser, heavy cruiser, and battleship. Design tables in MS Excel allow players to quickly and easily design their own warships to a pretty detailed level, where they must carefully balance weapons packages, ordinance loadouts, armor, ECM, gravitic shielding (no Star Trek or Star Wars "force fields" here), SLD engines, powerplants, FTL "Darkstar" drives, marines, assault ships, aerospace complements (fighters, bombers and scouts, if any), bridge / CIC upgrades, and other features. You can make your ship incredibly powerful, but that just means it will be slow and enemy players will easily outmaneuver and kill you without your ever getting off a shot. As with any good wargame, everything is about balance, mission, and play style. In all, some 90 warship classes for ten factions have been designed across these seven general categories.
