No, we don't have one. That is the purpose of this thread.
I may have the time to put towards a fresh DarkSpace video to follow in the footsteps of the original KanDraf video: DarkSpace Infinity. I think if I can find the time over the next few weeks, and if Draf is interested and feels up to the challenge of producing the music, as well as finding enough 'extras' to fill the scenes, we should consider making another one.
Subject of this new video? I have no idea. Combat and basic DS history was covered in the first one. We need to come up with a respectable script and then see about putting it together.
Anyway, I have nothing to really say to get it started other than I am interested in doing one this summer. Let's all just stew it over for a few days and see if any solid inspiration for a good DS vid comes to mind. Maybe a basic storyline? I don't know.
*KanDraf productions declares all suggestions in this thread to be ours to claim and use freely. We may use them as suggested. We may rework them to be 'better' in our eyes. We may ignore them completely.*

I like the idea of episodes, following a single character. I could work out a nice long-term story and then produce little 2-3 minute episodes every 2 weeks or so. However, I dont want to churn out crap videos. If Draf isnt up to the challenge of generating fresh music, which suits each episode as we go, then we will just keep it to a single new video.
We could even chronical 2-3 rookies (one from each faction) and have the story culminate(sp) to a kind of 'showdown'. Could be very EPIC.

I will definitely help out, although I am not subscribed at the moment.
Just from what I have seen of that video you posted my suggestions are as follows:
- Need to use better text. Might need someone to do some Photoshopping
- Keep the scenes of ships flying around in front of planets/around stations
- Avoid stars as backgrounds during fight scenes because you cannot see much
- Make the K'luth mysterious...only show brief clips of them (see below)
Ideas to keep K'luth "mysterious"
- Have a dread uncloak behind an ICC or UGTO ship and destroy it
- Have an entire K'luth fleet uncloak
- Have a K'luth bomb run going towards Earth with something about the threat to humanity
Feel free to add/take away from these. I'll probably add more later.

Ya....kinda like a little thing called EVE TV. But EVE TV is gay and only has dorks who blither on about stats and dumb info that will only confuse you more about the game. What about a monthly episode people could look forward to. A storyline. Screw the facts about the game and people praising it like EVE TV. Make something ENJOYABLE to watch. I also think following actual players is a bad idea. They hop factions, leave, and do dumb crap far too often. Make up a few characters and maybe throw actual player names as enemies or people who come to their rescue. Then you can use actual people in the game.

GT, We will leave the music to Drafell. That way it is original and no copyright issues can arrise. As for the "StarCraft" concept, the best we can do is get very close to a dread or station while in a scout. This will maximize the apparent size of the station/dread. However, keep the textures in mind. Too close and the station or dread will simply look like a pixel blob. Good idea though. I think it will make it in there. Good suspense/surprise scene.
Still in the air in general, but like the idea of a general story approach.

Just some cool shots I thought of...
- ICC Missile Dread shooting an Alpha
- EAD or dread with a lot of beams using PD with missile explosions all around
-Switch
