Some of you may know about these NPCs, but many of you are unaware due to clans and players who have monopolized them. These NPCs were added to the game with the Blacklight update and have been around for years. They are generally easy to defeat, deal very little damage (around 10,000), and have 1 million HP. I will provide you with detailed information about them. The maps they spawn on and the rewards they...

I bought dozens of jump CPU1 with credits and stated to jump back from x-2 to x-1 map. I mean travelling and jumping nonstop until I get the ??? map. (0,001 % chance).

After about 190 jumps I managed to enter the cubikon graveyard!

Another way to go there:

Explanation/trivia:

Only can see a merged server (in server list) if you had an account on it.
Example: GA5 was merged into GA1, if wanted to play with someone who is on "GA5" - you would join GA1/Global America 1. (and is only one can see if didn't already have an account on the merged server GA5)
Another example: Servers haven't been renamed etc(so far still), for example X server may of been merged with Y server - but...

We will start with the shield boosting on the ship first using just 1 b02 as reference but this formula works on all shield gen types.

10,000 + 15%(lvl16) = 11,500
11,500 + 25%(bio) = 14,375
14,375 + 40%(sep) = 20,125
20,125 + 50%(SHLD-B01/b02)= 30,187.5

The next factors will boost singular if you...

Starting off you have base ship hp. (here i`ll use citadel
as an example) We have 700,000 hp on a citadel after
getting the extra 50,000 from bio. So the first group of
HP boosting would be the hp boosters which stack and then
the hp lasers which also stack to that value so with 27 hp
lasers and double hp boosted we get 33.5%...

I've noticed in chat that people are asking if Solace IS currently the best ship for an all around use, and i'd say it DEPENDS.

Why it depends? it is because Solace is currently one of the most capable ship competing with the Cyborg, and how? the reason behind the Solace's ability to have better stats than most ships around is because of its Ship Modules.

Ship Modules are one of the latest features introduced by D.O, Ship modules has the capabilities of increasing the Ship's...
