DARKSTAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DUCHESS ANNABEL’S WAR IS OVER

“Second Wave” Darkstar warships and factions have arrived.
- Four new factions
- 20 Warship classes for those factions

- 30 warships in all
Had time to have a proper look through the new list, some interesting ships and some nice fluff.
Still like the ‘Senior Service’ best for now but definitely like to try some carrier action at some point.
Yeah, @damon , you just want to play HMS Ark Royal. 😀 Not that I blame you, she and her sister ships are definitely badasses.
