Does anyone even play anymore? Everytime I am on there never seems to be any other players online.

Out of the depth of forum lurking I come!
I suppose it's time for my yearly opinion on here. Believe it or not, I've been keeping a close eye on the forums. I visit at least once a day, hoping I'd see something new to make me interested in DarkSpace again. So far, I've remained disappointed.
For all intents and purposes, DarkSpace is dead. We can lie to eachother all we like about how a population of 5 or 6 people sort of counts, but we all know that the game has been in a state of perpetual existence for years now.
I'd say the main problem is just pure and simple lack of interest from the devs to actually make something out of it. Let's be fair here, DarkSpace hasn't been profitable for quite some time, and bringing a game as old as this back from the dead would be tantamount to creating Frankenstein's monster in real life. The game hasn't had any real direction to it probably since before I started playing. From what I witnessed during my involvement with the community some years ago, the devs have maintained this game purely as a pet-project of sorts. It's not suppose to be profitable, it's not suppose to be noticed or popular. It just is.
I have utmost respect for the devs, and I recognize that they've most probably moved beyond DarkSpace now. A security patch here and a bug fix there might be the only sorts of updates this game will be getting until it's eventual demise years from now. While I'd hate to see it go, I'd much rather remember the joyful moments I had here. Blowing up dreads with my trusty HC, getting my planet that I had worked on for ages completely annihilated by the MI ( see sig ) and even participating in all the silly stuff this community is capable of. Those are all great memories, and I will probably cherish them for years to come.
Thank you guys for a great experience, and thank you to the devs for maintaining this project of theirs just long enough so I could get at least a light taste of DarkSpace.

I'm eyeing World of Warships for now.
Hehe... It's almost like DS on water, and without the techy bits.

DS is almost as old I was when I started playing; the fact that it's still here is testament to how much time's been invested in it.
I know people who've grown bored of their own children after 14 years.

this game has almost zero combat now....most of the players that do play prefer to just bomb/cap and build planets...just to get near your enemy players you have to cap an enemy planet in their system to build a sy planet, by the time your finished doing that, you wait forever for an enemy player to log on....usually when they finally log on, they are rarely in a combat ship....roll back this game to when combat ruled and obviously players will play, cause otherwise this game is work, not play.
