Darkstar One... that's one I've never played.  Unfortunately that's 
because I haven't ever seen a copy at my local shops.  (And I don't buy 
online.)

Mebbe I should start looking at torrents?  O;-]

Freelancer was fun for what it was, and to fill in some time I've been 
playing quite a bit of Starlancer, Tachyon & Vega Strike of late.  Hell, 
I've even been playing Orbiter!

But they just don't compare to X3.

The improvements for Terran Conflict sound good, but I'm hoping that 
they're not going to affect the FPS.  X3 gets a bit stuttery as it is 
when things get hectic...
