Ya I was playing Darkstar One a bit last night and I'm actually liking it. The X Series I had played and was way too tedious. Though today my sights are set on Bulletstorm, which just finished on steam so I came on here to check the boards and my fav threads etc.

I haven't played it, but there is an indie Babylon 5 flight sim.

Dark Star One, Starlancer and Freelancer were all good but I'm longing for the old Elite style where you actually can go ANYWHERE and land on ANY planet. (gas giants excluded ) I love the thought of controlling your descent into the atmosphere and finding a landing site and then starting mining and taking your cargo to trading stations and accepting missions to kill pirates and upgrading the ship to carry passengers and ...... (ahh reminiscing )
There's a total conversion for Babylon 5 using Freelancer or X-wing: Alliance somewhere on ModDB... Check out Link for upgredes to the Freelancer engine. Link for X-Wing:Alliance.
Hope this helps.
If you own an ATI card, you might get graphics corruption in XWA even after upgrades. I still can't figure it out and have given up.
