DarkSpace gets another free trial

Palestar and Playnet.com have announced another free seven-day trial period for DarkSpace, their massively multiplayer online space game. During the trial period, all DarkSpace account holders will be able to play with no limitations and will have the ability to gain prestige and rank and join all available servers. The free trial will run April 12-19.

The companies also announced a new upgrade. The version 1.458 upgrade contains a number of bug fixes and adds a number of new features to the game including expanded technology trees.

DarkSpace, which was launched in December, is set in a sci-fi universe filled with warring factions. Players begin the game in one of three main factions as an ensign flying a small spacecraft, and they can eventually work their way up the ranks to become a grand admiral in charge of a huge capital ship.
