[SC] UNOFFICIAL: DarkOrbit Revealed Archive

On map UFE "WILL" blow you up every time as you can't run away Beserk like Diminisher is too slow to be considered anything more than a gimmick.

 

Just going to be another one of those ships that people speculate and complain about it being too powerful, but no one will use because it will suck too much compared to cyborg.

I mean seriously I don't know why Darkorbit is bothering with new ships when no one is going to use it, because the real problem is the Cyborg, its just too damn overpowered.

 

So over powered that there are not any ship mods for it?

 

Actually yes... thats why there are no ship modules... And even with no ship modules people still use it 95% of the time.

 

Cyborg is still the most meta ship in the game, it straight up forces other people to emp. There's no reason for it to have a ship mod.

 

Then why give it 3 slots?

 

Because DO had an idea , apparently one to boost our ships in another way. Maybe they have tracked at what % the cyborg dmg is higher than other ship and hopefully keep it at the level with updates should they add any to that ship. The system its self looks great on paper but from my point of view means alot of "balancing".

Arios Berserker ship design

Showcase the Berserker's destructive power with this Arios Berserker Ship Design!

Spoiler

(Seems like they actually have changed this ship at last second lol. If anyone else remembers this ship model was "Nemesis", a ship that never came out but now seems they're using it's model for the Berserker ship)

Neikos Berserker ship design

Flaunt your victory in the Neikos Berserker Ship Design!

HP Link P.E.T. gear

Once you activate this P.E.T. gear, your P.E.T. will link itself to your ship. While linked, any damage to your hull is transferred to your P.E.T.


HP-SOL01 - 15% increased HP if equipped on your ship. This ship upgrade module can be used on the Solace.

HP-C01 - 10% increased HP if equipped on your ship. This ship upgrade module can be used on the following ships: Citadel, C-Elite, C-Veteran.

interesting

 

Man that PET gear sounds OP and can make or break suicide configs. Definitely won't be as easy to take down ships with ring with all the new HP updates (modules, 100,000 extra HP, HP link PET gear), which can also be seen as a bad point considering it will cost way more ammo and ships that rely on surprise attacks will be less effective

10% HP for the Citadel still a bit meh though, needs a lot more to be an effective tank ship, but mainly to pose a threat on it's own so that people will actually use it rather than sticking to the Cyborg.

I highly suspect they will give it modules in the future, they just want us to buy / obtain all the other modules first...

 

Finally giving us a reason to unlock all shield slots on pet?

 

I think it will either last only a few seconds, only a portion is redirected or the damage is redirected towards your PET's HP. Otherwise we could get insane setups.

 

Why don't "Bat Formation" get updated ? it's something we can get only once a year, why don't the dmg get increased for example, like 25% against npcs that could be something better than drill.

 

Bat formation has 8% damage and xp for alien kills
Also for players like me who never repair their pet as i use it for kami the new gear will not be good

 

Bat formation is also one of the original formations from when it first started.

Beside that, we just got the DMG-NPC01 that increase NPC damage by 15%. We also have the new upgrade system inbound that allows Prometheus Lasers to be upgraded to Level 16. We'll be hitting even harder.

Bat Formation is fine exactly where it is. If you want to hit harder damage, put on Drill.

 

Fun fact, Bat formation gives 8% dmg. Now theres a word you dont see , yep thats it lasers. The word not there is lasers and why is that? Because your rockets r-310, 2021 , 3030s are boosted by 8% with this formation.


I would imagine the pet gear is only effective when your hit points are taking dmg"While linked, any damage to your hull is transferred to your P.E.T." and then all of that dmg is applied to your pet for x amount of time. Since this would seem to be a situational thing i`m assuming 3 to 5 second window of operation sensibly.

Making suicide configs great again

 

Yeah I doubt any of that matters since a 12% additional laser damage boost against both players and NPC's is FAR better than 8% extra rocket damage and what not. I feel like bat could easily be upgraded to 30% NPC damage. Especially when you take into account that while we hit harder, NPC's still give out the same rewards as they did years ago despite the game becoming much more expensive.

 

Well atm we have the 15% increase from module, which places dmg of solace or sentinel above cyborg to npc and then you toss in prom lasers while using drill and you dont even need shields to kill npc. Now these lasers will be able to be upgraded we will see even more dmg which at that point combined with 30% dmg instead of 20% from drill . I would be able to solo mindfire behemoth with a solace especially since bat does not reduce shields like drill i`d have well over 500k on a full battle config.

 

Even a 30% increase is too stiff with the introduction of modules.

You can fly the surgeon and get what 6% dmg/ep/honor? Top it with bat and you got 14% dmg.

Even solace/sentinel with bat and dmg-npc01 module is 23% more dmg towards npcs. Increasing to 30% is immense and it's all botters will use. That would put it at 45% dmg boost to npcs, not including sep, double boost, drone design, or upgrade levels.

If you went all out, NPC like mindfire or even Hitac/Demaner wouldn't even exist. Don't forget that we're about to be able to upgrade Prometheus lasers straight to 16.

 

Did that on test server. Running a Cyborg. Had the new shields, prom lasers all to lvl-16; boosters and shared boosters.... still got popped in 2-4 shots by solace, pusat, spectrum and centurion. The Cyborg can/should have modules as well.
