What is in the galaxy gates Provides a lot of statistical data on the first three galaxy gates Alpha, Beta and Gamma.

Was posted quite a while ago however a lot of the information is still valid. Thanks to Whitelazer, this is direct from her work. Honor is very important in Dark Orbit. The higher your honor the higher your rank, and the more credits you earn selling ore, at the station. When you , honor you will get double the amount of credits for each piece of ore than when you started. This is the maximum you can make. When your high enough level you can also sell at enemy bases, but you will receive the base amount, not your bonus amount.

Completing quests. You will lose honor by doing the following: 1. Killing own company ships. This is penalized by honor for first offense, for second and so on, doubling each time.

When you see cargo boxes on the screen there are two colors, gray and orange. Gray belongs to someone else, and orange is free to take. This will negate honor in the same manner starting at 20, 40, etc.

There is no limit to losing honor and because it doubles every time it will cost you a lot in a hurry. Once you hit honor you become an outlaw and get a target beside your name for your rank. Note: No deduction of honor if the ship of own company gots honor below What sorts of resources are there?

How do I receive resources? Promethium, Endurium, Terbium Collect: They float in space and can be collected with your ship. By shooting down space ships — Strainer: each 10 Promethium, Endurium — Lordakia: each 20 Promethium, Endurium, Terbium — Saimon: each 40 of all 3 resources as well as 2 Prometid and 2 Duranium. Xenomit Can be auctioned with credits or bought instantly with Uridium in the store. Shot down spaceships may also drop xenomit.

Prometid, Duranium, Promerium? Process: these resources can be processed by the 4 raw materials mentioned above. The recepies can be found in the Hangar under the Laboratory. They can also be obtained by shooting down enemies. The stored amount can be seen in the lab. Resources can be lost if your ship is destroyed. Xenomit is special as it can be obtained by shooting down spaceships, which however is not always the case.

What can I do with resources? What are the advantages for processing resources, selling and weapon upgrades? This ore is called Seprom. Currently you can only get it from your Skylab or from destroyed enemy ships. It is too powerful for engines, so you can not boost them with it at this time. We did also note a rising number of chat messages which are telling you to get free uridium by sending a text message to a special number.

There is no official website that has any connection to Bigpoint which will ever ask you for your login data. For all things bigpoint can do to your accounts hand out uridium, restore missing stuff and so on , we only need your User ID, nothing more. We noted a rising number of users who ask other ones for trading their accounts. Most of those offers are fakes and serious trys to steal your account information. Even if those offer to make your account premium or book Uridium on it, do not trust them.

Most of them are the result of the above mentioned things. Please make sure that your password is not the same like your username. Furthermore never ever tell your password to third persons. So again be careful with your passwords and keep them secret. Ok so your flying around in space, great. But what is out there? Here is a list of most fo the aliens and all their stats and rewards. We have also given you the locations to find each one.

Bonus boxes are blue boxes found floating in most of the maps. They are free to take, and actually should be taken any chance you get. They contain loads of valuable stuff, such as ammo, credits, uridium and more. You might even be lucky and get free Gate Energy from a box. Well worth that second to stop and get them. Also Bonus Boxes in the battlemaps , , give out 1. Cargo Boxes are found floating in space when an alien or enemy ship explodes. They glow orange or gray. Gray are NOT free to take, orange are free.

The contents of boxes vary in player kills, and are dependent on the alien for alien kills. The alien section of the Bible has the all the rewards for the Aliens. There are 4 maps for each company in the lowers and 4 in the uppers. These are usually called x1-x8, x being your company, 1, 2 or 3.

In the middle of these 3 maps is a gate that takes you to a bright red map called 4.

This is the lowers. This is the uppers. The uppers also contains a base in the x8 maps for you to sell ore at. When you hit level 12 you will have access to this map. There is also a map called that has a port in it from all 3 companies x5 maps.

Ships from your own company cannot fire upon you when you are in sector x-1 or x Be careful though, ships from enemy companies can open fire on you in any sector, including x In other words, if you open fire on anyone in a Neutral Zone, then everybody else can attack you.

In essence, your own aggression begets aggression from others. When entering an enemy Neutral Zone from a jump gate, you get a grace period of 20 seconds. During that time, the enemy cannot fire on you. After that time is up, you best be ready to fight or flee.

In those boards, you cannot jump away if you are currently in combat and there are no protections offered by proximity to the gates. You have to battle through it to get where you want to go. NAZ work until you fire at an enemy first, they are then able to shoot back. There are no NAZ in the battle maps. You cannot jump if being attacked in battle maps.
