[SC] UNOFFICIAL: DarkOrbit Revealed Archive

Like the players trying to build their ships have these to defend themselves with. The Ice Rockets are used against them more than by them and at 300 U they sure as heck are not going to buy them. The Slow mines are a nice addition but since the UFE fly off to the side of you they become your worst enemy because you run into them while searching for NPC targets in the mini-map.

 

if they are 300 uri per one there is no way that im buying them will just get the free ones from gate if they give them

 

The OLD ones were nice, 2 second of freeze with a 2 minute reload time at 300 Urid is just a waste of Uridium, I am just going to sell them for credits, that is all they are good for.

 

Breaking news text for the 11th / DO's 9th birthday:

Nine years ago the first space pilots launched themselves into the fray, choosing sides and collectively fighting against the invasion of strange and hostile aliens into humanity’s territory.

Since that day many have taken up the fight, developed their skills and are now ready to face the next challenge: The Breach is opening again and Skoll, the Eater of Worlds, the 13th Savant, trapped in the Neevhaim universe for so many millennia is making a new attempt to invade our universe.

Starting today the Breach Gate is open for pilots of level 1-15 and level 15+. There Skoll, known from the Cold Wave event, is waiting for you!

To gather resources for your fight, Icy Boxes have been made available for collection and today’s login bonus should give you the extra edge for fighting the icy menace!

The old cooldown was just 30 seconds, not 2 minutes.

They needed changing, they were too good, they made DCR obsolete in every way. The combination of very low price / biggest range in the game / low cooldown was too much. Not to mention they are incredibly annoying, both to be hit by and to use sometimes (freezing people and there ship goes backwards then 2 seconds later shoots forwards again too quickly to react).

The biggest problem with the change now is that it should have been done a year ago, then people would be less annoyed because the strength of these rockets became 'normal' and expected. There were far more people complaining about them when they came out and wanting them removed from the game than there is now about them finally getting nerfed.

Doubt your actually about to sell yours for credits though, would only be hurting yourself doing that
If you don't want to buy any just do the Cold Wave GG and then sit back and wait for the Crafting System launch - you will have a week to build the ice rockets with that.

 

Please tell me the crafting system isn't going to be one of those things where you have to gather dumb things you never use and use them every day then wait 20-24 hours for it to complete to gain R&D exp >.<

 

Newer players must be encouraged to multi task instead of constantly relying on one type of ammo to avoid defeat.We have DCR-250 to use along with those slow mines, ice rockets and dont forget PIB ammo everybody is waiting on with its infection mines included.

 

Multitasking noobs? Bruh, 99% of noobs can barely lock, let alone lock, use 6 items and not die before then lol

 

Icy boxes? ... any idea what they might contain?

 

The three people that still play my server are very excited.....

 

Probably usual stuff + ice rockets, like year ago.

 

Do you have any idea if boxes are going to contain Ice Rockets this year like they did last year ?? Cause 300 is too much for a rocket and i know a guy in my server that bought 50k last year so his rockets will never end so it is completely unfair. But if we have those on boxes that is another thing.

 

The boxes that came out on day 1 didn't contain them so i doubt the boxes will.

 

this is the icy box witch contained the ice rockets last year Icy

 

So the special thing in this boxes is only the icy rockets, right?

 

hmm wow it was a year ago but yeah i think the top item was ice rockets i got 600 from the 2 gates and collected another 1000 of them from boxes without doubler so as long as DO didnt nerf the boxes too everyone can get a good amount hell i still got 1k left from last year

i have always used very little of these but alot of people blew through theirs for a couple months after event you spent more time frozen in a multi player fight then not so i agree with the added countdown and the cost increse

 

Haha I know, but the sooner they learn the better.

 

Frost Hitac seems to be something that is being planned.

Prizes:
Win fantastic prizes with the Frost Converter!

When you redeem your capsules for lottery tickets in the Moon Converter, you have a chance of winning incredible in-game prizes! Each of the following can be won on each separate server:

• 1 x 1 million Uridium
• 1 x 30 Fully-upgraded LF4 Lasers
• 2 x 10 Fully-upgraded LF4 Lasers
• 5 x 5 Fully-upgraded LF4 Lasers
• 1 x 30 Fully-upgraded SG3N-B02 Shield Generators
• 2 x 10 Fully-upgraded SG3N-B02 Shield Generators
• 5 x 5 Fully-upgraded SG3N-B02 Shield Generators
• 5 x 50,000 Rounds of UCB-100 Laser Ammo
• 20 x 100,000 Uridium

I think those are the same prizes as previous hitacs, could be that they change before the event with it being a special themed one.





However the Frost Hitac seems to be part of a bigger event overall.

There will be a new calander:

<item name="calendar_frost_text_top">
<![CDATA[ You'll be able to open one door every day on the Frost Calendar until January 17th: Don't forget to open a door each day. Once the day has ended, you will not be able to open the door later. ]]>
</item>

Last week a few more frost ship designs appeared, just as text for now, I assume they are linked in with this new event. I had avoided posting them until there was at least some indication as to what they were to do with:

• Frost Spectrum
• Frost Sentinel
• Frost Venom
• Frost Ambassador
• Frost Pusat
• Frost Lightning

There is also a new ammo* called Frozen Portal. The description is "Spawns a Super Ice Meteoroid near your. Only works on company maps from x-3 to x-8 and battle maps."
Again as always, this stuff could change and we have no idea as to if the ammo can be purchased or if it is something given out during the event.

* It is listed as specialammo, which means it is classed in the same catagory as things such as EMP and ISH - so not necessarily something you shoot with lasers or rockets.


That's about it for now, there is no dates or anything like that, just seems the event will end on the 17th of January judging from the current date set in this new frost calendar.

 

I hope everybody get at the beginning 5 capsules again as in the last event.

 

I hope NOT, it completely ruined the effort of active players who collected capsules by hand and then everyone just got 5 for free. This was also a huge middle finger to everyone who bought capsules with real money as the odds of receiving something especially in big servers went down alot.

 

OMG OMG OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HITAC AND FROSTY NOSTROMO!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG
