[SC] UNOFFICIAL: DarkOrbit Revealed Archive

That option is available yet, however we were told that such an option was in the works. Specifically we were told the beacons would stack on top of havocs and hercs. Now we have more cosmetic skins so....

 

Congratulations on 100 pages folks!

 

RickDekard... I would like to thank you and your team for the Tunnel of Terror Galaxy Gate & modifications implemented today !!

"Note: You can play the Halloween gate only once every 20 hours – so after either losing your 10 lives or successfully finishing the gate you have to wait 20h.

We also adding a special reward box at the end of every map starting with the 3rd map. This box will be dropped by a regular NPC and contains a number of the following ammunition: UCB-100, RB-214, UBR-100, PLT-2021, HSTRM-01"

Without a doubt, the toughest most challenging gate DO has ever had. The rewards are equally marvelous.

 

it was updated yesterday not today and loads liked it without the update now we just love it

 

This game will always surprise us.

 

Tobad the no-stat designs cant be placed over existing designs :/

 

Yes...it can be re-Designed..U gonna look like a 'punk' or is just me pondering

 

I quit this game for about 2 years, just came back about a month ago, and the direction this game is going is fantastic, 2 years ago it was boring, such a long time between updates, big let-downs etc, but every event now seems to be great!, im a little bit unsure about the Kuiper gate (I feel its too boring, but i was on a weak test server account) but apart from that, it was great.

The reason i quit a couple of years ago is because i couldnt see myself progressing anywhere, a kappa would take me an eternity to build, only to get a multi-booster from it, but now (with the help of flash sales, increased events etc) im able to see myself making progress, which is all anybody can really ask for.

Bit of a comparison...2013's Halloween gate: You received 2000 UCB-100. This year's: You received 60000 UCB -100, and thats not even the final reward lol..

Good job

 

Everyone get your christmas trees out, the 'warm' up to the event has begun

There will be some even drone designs for christmas, they are called 'Frozen' for now. The drone design image is a lv1 flax stuck in some ice ^^:






There is also 2 effect files, one called "frost_ship_fx" and the other is "frost_ship_trail" which will be part of the event in some way. There is no clear indication right now if this is part of an NPC, new design or just an ambient effect for the event.


Edit:
The other particle effects are for some new ship designs. There's 1 Goliath, 1 Aegis, 1 Citadel and 1 Spearhead design that seem like they will be covered in a frozen effect.
Unfortunately I can't post a picture of these designs because they are using a new shader which will not currently be in the client on normal servers.

 

It will be very cool if we can put these 'ice designs' on other designs.. and have someting like frozen havocs or herculeses.
But if they have any bonuses, when we put them on havocs, to remove the bonuses from the ice designs, only to give a cool frozen look.
It will be cool if we were able to put Demons on herculeses and havocs, to have cool red glow around the herculeses/havocs, without getting the bonus from demons.

 

NO! PLEASE GOD NO!!!!

 

Managed to shut myself up and get the new 'frozen' shader to be displayed alongside the new particle effects ... I think. It is important to remember that this is something that is 2 months away and since I've had to do some extra messing around in order to display it in the client, it might have a couple things wrong x)

A couple of still images of the Frozen Goliath design and it's particle effects, you can see they make a trail that will follow the ship:




As far as the Aegis / Spearhead / Citadel versions, they seem to have the same particle effects and blue glow / shader around them. At the moment the Aegis repair pod also has frost effects on it when it is dropped.

2D Images:










Then a quick video preview to give a better idea of that what particles look like as the ship moves:

 

Those new drones & ship design look sweet... can't wait

Nice Video along with all the info as always Okapi32 !!!!!

 

I hope that the Ice designs have some effects like the Demon designs, perhaps for the HST launcher.

 

thats the coolest thing IVE EVER SEEN!!

 

I second the blessing

 

Nice work Okapi32, I saw a goliath design a few weeks ago in the "update and idea pool" that was a goliath that look covered in ice.

 

I saw it too.

 

just gose to show that they do read the update-ideas

 

Couple things to write about, there appears to be a new log-in bonus related to the Kuiper GG as well as some introduction quests to the Crafting / Assembly feature.

Log-in bonuses:

Day 1: 10,000 Credits / 50 PLT-2026 rockets / 1 extra energy / 1 Streuner Gate part
Day 2: 300 MCB-25 ammo / 25,000 Credits / 1 extra energy / 1 Streuner Gate part
Day 3: 50 PLT-2021 rockets / 1 jump Credit / 1 extra energy / 2 Streuner Gate parts
Day 4: 250 MCB-50 ammo / 1 repair credit / 1 extra energy / 2 Streuner Gate parts
Day 5: 1 log-disk / 200 Uridium / 1 extra energy / 2 Streuner Gate parts

So this will be pretty handy if you are missing a couple of parts from Kuiper and just want to save uridium and wait until the next day to get those 2 parts from the log-in bonus.



Crafting / Assembly quests:

Printing Technologies
If you want to produce new items with nano printer-bots you will require to provide them with some resources. The most basic one is scrapium, you can get it from the different Saimons. Kill some of them!

Power Crafter
To create the energy units of the items you want to create you will need of Boltrum. You can obtain it from the Devolarium.

Organic Resources
If you want to build the Plague Venom design you will need lots of Mucosum, a rare organic resource only found in Lordakia and Lordakium.

Compressing the light
In order to produce laser systems and items you need the ability to compress the light. Nothing does that better than the prismatium, you can get it from any kind of Kristallin and Kristallon.

Sibelons Loot
The Sibelons are trying to copy our technology to reinforce their army in our system without the need of sending new ships from their home world. They are trading with the other aliens to get the resources. Destroy the Sibelon and take the resources for us!

Finishing the Competence
There is another way to obtain the ores to build items. Our company is rewarding our most outstanding pilots which show the best performance.


So by the sound of the quest descriptions seems like a lot of things will be going into the crafting of items including new loot drops from NPC, however keep in mind these are just quest descriptions and could just be random made-up resources to fill in a storyline rather than actual new things that will be within the game. It could be that in order to craft item x you need y amount of skylab resources + some Lordakium kills, for example.
One of the quest descriptions also mentioned a 'Plague Venom' design, so I will keep an eye out for that to see that name turns up anywhere else.
