Darkstar: Live on Discord
Good afternoon – Today we’re bringing back Darkstar, the game of starship tactical combat in the “Second Colonial Age” of the early 2500s. We’re gathering up some old players, and potentially bringing in some new players, for world-wide web play on on our Discord channel.
If anyone wants in, we’ll be live, on-line starting at 2PM EST today (7PM UK time). May or may not be actually gaming, but setting up task forces and introducing the game to some new interested players.
Here is an invite link for anyone who wants to check us out:

Conquest and victory await you among the stars!
We hope to see some of you there!
Too bad I missed it, but hopefully I can get on someday… In the meantime, I’ve been meaning to ask for more of those literally essential WRS. Me and my opponent are hoping for a Japanese destroyer with guns & torpedoes, a corvette with mainly just torpedoes, & probably some gunboats that don’t have guns! (Just Torpedoes). On the British side, my humble requests would include atleast 1 more Frigate, & maybe a torpedo-based corvette. Also, I believe a long while back there was a design listed for a carrier (Light Cruiser size), but no WRS. Beyond these, I would… Read more »
@charpentierderosia I think some of the designs you are looking for might in the 2nd wave of ships @oriskany put out – a stand alone PDF, I’ll try to find it later To talk to the points most dear to me the IJN – Modern IJN Destroyer would be nice, if I recall the Destroyer design is a dated model, my personal fleet skip over destroyers and go Strike Frigates to Light Cruiser. Corvette or “Submarine” it is something the INJ does not have, get Strike Frigates in there and you get your Torpedo’s and more. Gunboats with just Torpedoes,… Read more »
The main reason for the requests for more designs was because I had more models made (mostly by accident) for frigates for one faction, and more destroyers for another. Secondly, we like the variety, although I suppose units of the same type can be more manageable and more like a unit than a rabble… I found in the 2nd PDF 2 British ‘gun’ cruisers, and a MASSIVE Carrier (Battleship size), unless it has been updated? The point is, we’re using everything we can on the small end, although I am looking forward to more Light and some Heavy Cruiser size… Read more »
@charpentierderosia – I am in touch with someonne named @heavygear02 on our Sitrep Discord, I have sent him sheets for Bristol class destroyers and Valiant class light fleet carriers. He said he knew you. 😀
@charpentierderosia – I always posted WRS along with new designs. Admittedly, these are probably buried somewhere in two project threads that are hundreds of entries long and approaching 5000 recommendations. 😮
Really the best place to talk about new materials is, again, on our Discord.

Admittedly I am a little backed up at the moment with other WW2 projects (publishers for PanzerBlitz and Valor & Victory), but if you ping us on Discord I will see what I can do.
