Dark Star One: Difference between revisions

 

----

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Among our colorful cast, we have weird names like Kayron, Jow'son, Naara and Jiju. On the normal side, Robert, Simon, Ramirez, Ventura, and Jack.

* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: At some point in the past the Terran language became the standard spoken language for all empires. Most races still use their written language in-game.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The manual contains detailed backgrounds on each of the game's races.

* [[Escort Mission]]: Many story missions and sidequests are this. You can also sign up as an escort pilot for a freighter.

* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Eona, your erstwhile copilot.

* [[Five-Man Band]]:

** [[The Hero]]: Kayron

** Occupied systems are much more difficult than pirate gangs, because its all too easy to be swarmed if you get careless, and then become an instant [[Bullet Hell]]. You fight three waves of pirates, whose total number usually includes fifteen fighters. If you survive, you are rewarded with a tidy sum of credits and an artifact for the Darkstar.

* [[My Brain Is Big]]: The Oc'to are to this game as the Psilons were to ''[[Master of Orion]]''. They indulge in many fields of science and philosophy, and have made many radical advances and achievements, ranging from teaching quantum mechanics to young children to cloning matter.

* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: In one story mission, you go to an Arrack system that was devastated by a savage war, in search of a Thul cruiser. The system is within a massive [[Asteroid Thicket]] of scrap metal, there are shipwrecks all around and the planet is a sickly pinkish color. The effect is greater if you come back after the mission, where you're all alone with nothing besides wreckage to keep you company.

* [[Oh My Gods]]: With the Raptor's [[Fantasy Pantheon|massive pantheon]] including over threehundred gods, some will utter this or a varient of it.
