Introduction to Star Dart for Newbies!

There seems to be a demand for a Star Dart help page, and I guess I'll take on the role of excuting this task. In the game I'm known as Robot27, I try to help out how how need it, but repitition is getting to me so for now on, I'll give you this web site.

Note: I play in the scorpians server, some of these tips may not work on other servers, just a fair warning ahead of time!

Words from Robot27 pertaining to web info

  • September 8, 2003: I'm still here! Man, I gotta fix the site up, I just don't have the time to give it all the updates right now (due to class starting in a half an hour >_<). I'm going to try to fix the site up, and start a site on Space Domination. Updates: A strategy has been added to the strategy page, and the space domination link is now in the links section of the page. Enjoy ^_^
  • August 18, 2003: I am back and playing the game! Also, blacklist update, peace deals made with Cobra27, he's showed proper respect and earned his place off the blacklist. Congratz!
  • August 12, 2003: Announced temp. retirement from Star Dart, due to my computer's failure to stay online. Also extended the blacklist (note to y'all, when I'm back in the game, don't attack me when I'm having a rotten day). Thinking of making a contact list section to the page, MUJ members of course. Click the e-mail icon at the top to contact me, (I've only got yahoo messenger and my e-mail to work with, my AIM, I cannot get to at this time.)
  • August 8, 2003: I'm still around! Only updating blacklist, some people just don't know when to shut their mouths!
  • July 26, 2003: Found that having the strategies on the help page needless, for the strategies page is up. Also opening a request section to answer some answered questions that you post at the forum.
  • July 23, 2003: Added blacklist link in the MUJ section of the webpage.
  • July 17, 2003: Changed the header of the web site, also, fixing the "top" links to make them more visible.
  • July 16, 2003: Added Ibthar to MUJ list, also found some index cards with a strategy I never used, but may help some people, posting it today! Also, I put the MUJ list in Alphabetical order for organizational purposes.
  • July 15, 2003: The strategy page has been released! Check out the links section of this web page to see it!
  • July 10, 2003: I'm also adding a link to my e-mail near the top for a quick click to talk to me about Star Dart, MUJ, or other online games I can assist you in (or help me in if need be)
  • July 10, 2003: I add a few names to the MUJ list, and to MUJ members... I'm thinking about adding a blacklist section, or maybe making a website just for our clan. I'd like to hear your opinions and ideas.
  • June 26, 2003: Long time since I've been here... I'm here to take off some of the names on the contact list, for some did contact me... not too much else to say.
  • May 31, 2003: Jark, Phoenix, and/or AmyRowe if you are reading this, please email me at vthof5@yahoo.com, I need only a, "What the heck?", or something like that... Gotta reply to give you a description on the webpage expansion, and I may need your help.
  • May 18, 2003: Site is opperating, at last!


Windbagging About the Functions of the Game.

I Made a post on the Star Dart forums about "Answering Annoying Questions". (I only wanted to post it on the Launch forum, but through many Java errors, I accidently posted it on both forums *blush*). I'm going give you the post here, but I'm going to replace those "random blurbs" to the images they were supposed to look like.
Here goes:


Ok, I'm SICK AND TIRED of "how do you move?" and "how do I attack?" Here I fold to demand and finally not get an earful of blather!!

Step 1) How to move...
Double click your destination. You can't double click on another destination in mid-flight if you wish. And if you want to stop, press the halt button on the left...

Step 2) How to Attack...
Click and drag from your fleet to your enemy fleet.

Example, you attack with your sloops to enemy stations. Click sloops, drag to stations... Easy...

Step 3) Moving Within the fleet.
Click and drag the adjascent ships that you want to swap positions in within your fleet.

In this example you asked for your sloops to swap places with your corsairs... Click sloops drag to corsairs...

Step 4) Building a planet...
I'm not going to sit here and define the deffinitions of the different things and what they do (all that in the help page) But I'll give you a basic setup...
First Box:Merchant (Press the facilities button then merch)
Second Box: 20 sloops repeating (press sloop, repeat and move the bar next to the repeat button so that it says there's 20 sloops to be built)
Third Box: 4 Corsairs, repeating.
Fourth Box: 4 Rangers, repeating.
Fifth Box: 1 Frigate, repeating.
Sixth Box: 1 or 2 industry, repeating.
Yes the planet will build on it's own... And later in the game it's not merchant your building it's Star Docks and beacons (I made a strategies post one the old earth forum about this *Note: It's on this website also*).

Step 5) The RLH method (Run like Hell) a.k.a. RETREAT!!
That dart siting in the back row moving forward? Getting in attack position? Too weak to knock out the 2.5K gun beast? Solution: press the retreat button on top of the screen, after you do watch the little yellow lines shrink, for that's the time left before you escape. Note: That little red line in percent damage on one ship of that type. Stations have 2 guns, if it's got a red line halfway through and the # of stations says 54... There's basically 53? stations working.

Step 6) Dart Hunting...
Darts are found 4 ways...
1.) In gateways
2.) In the centers of Nuetron Stars
3.) In the centers of Nebulea
4.) Stelling them with Stelluar facilities.

Note: You can repair your damaged dart if you have one simply by placing it on one of your planets and immediatly it's repaired and you can put it right back into your fleet. Pretty neat, eh?

Well I hope this gets you guys started, and if you inquire me about these topics, I will just say go to this forum... and how to get to it... Anything I forgot? Reply to this post and I'll see what I can do...

Vocabulary of Star Dart

Here's a table of Stardart Vocabulary:
Term or Appearance Meaning
Coordnates The green number tells you how far and in what direction you are from OE.
Industries Helps with build points on the planet that they are built upon.
Build Points The more you have, the faster you build.
Merchants Adds build points to all of your planets.

Research Lab Adds minute amounts of EMC to your fleet (and planets I think); I find these to render useless.
Stelluar Gives you a small chance of stelling a star dart. (It'll be on the planet you built this facility.)
Star Dart 2500 guns, 0.5 EMC, this beast packs a punch!
Stelling When a dart is killed, it goes into one of four places, (nebulea, neutron star, warp gates, and stelluars), stelling is when a dart lands onto your stelluar.
d^ Dart up.
d shower/Dart ShowerA whole mess of darts up!
Rebirth Complete destruction of an empire, that empire being reseted to start from scratch is called rebirthing.
A claimed planet is a planet that someone else owns. Not always wise to attack these if you're weak, or if they are your ally.
This is a planet that you have captured, you can build it to what you want, and take from it what you want (statoins stay there though).
The words are not there, it's simply a planet with no triangle over it.
Nebulea A greyish circle that saps your speed, in the center, there may be a dart to pick up if there are any darts up.
Nuetron Star A goldish circle that enhances your speed, in the center, there may be a dart to pick up if there are any darts up.
Warp Gate A diamond that changes color continuously, warps you from warp to warp. They may hold a dart if any are up.

Small planet, can't build as many industries.
Large planet, can build more industries than normal.
Poor planet, 50% reduction on build production.
Rich planet, 50% increase on build production.
Core world, boosted speed in build productions, max industry = 400, within 1000 of OE
Old Earth, (a.k.a. OE), Very powerful world, comes with a sheild, it's max industry is 2000, boosted industry. Worth a lot of points!

Militia of Universal Justice

Yes, I'm a proud member of the Militia of Universal Justice (a.k.a. MUJ). As a matter of fact, I'm the leader of the MUJ clan. Now newbies, I know you're going to ask... "What's a clan?" It's basically an agreement between many parties to ally against a common foe, and the agreement is permanent until notified elsewise. Now you ask, "How do I get into a clan?" Well, it depends on the clan... If you want to be lead by a corrupt leader that accepts about anyone, you just have the ability to breathe (From what I've seen in rival clan [well, basically a newbie swarm with a few skilled players] OEE). There's the clan I'm in, MUJ. There's a few ways to gain repect from me:
  1. Prove your loyalty, you'll become a mercenary of the clan.
  2. Defeat or give me a good challenge in a nasty OE battle, as basically a skills test, You'll become a member if you accept the following:
    1. You don't have a bad history with any of the members of MUJ, if you do, you will resolve them, and the member(s) mentioned also must approve of your membership.
    2. You will agree to assist (if able) in any conflict revolving a clan enemy.
    3. You will not attack any members of the clan, unless you are the only people on the game.
    4. You will not attack nuetral people and/or clans.
    5. You will not attack temporary and/or permanent allies.
    6. Other requirements may emerge from other MUJ officials.
  3. You destroy a member's/clan's enemy.
  4. Other requirements or suggestions may arise from other MUJ officials.

Here's a list of people I know are still in the clan:

  • AmyRowe
  • Attila
  • Comet54
  • Ibthar
  • Ifogetwhoiam
  • Jark
  • Phoenix
  • Robot27
  • SlimShady

I've also a list of people I wish to speak to about their membership in the clan... I never see them anymore and I cannot seem to reach them:

  • Stev
  • Crusher

E-mail me at vthof5@yahoo.com to clarify these issues.


Read up on the MUJ blacklist.
