This is not a stingy game. Nearly everything you do will earn you some sort of profit, but it's about the long-term gratification.

The breadth of the world in DarkStar One which is part of what makes it such a great game can also be adownside as well.

This game "gets" the template of 1985's Commodore 64 classic Elite in a way that many other space-trading games released over the past decade or so didn't, thanks to its emphasis on the mid-'80s classic's simple principles of buying low, selling high, and blasting pirates for fun and profit. It comes with a few minor problems in the fit-and-finish department, but the game is still an outstanding return to the frontier spirit that made Elite so memorable.
