How Long Does It Take to Build a Strong Account?

I have recently started playing DarkOrbit again, and honestly, once I get into the game, it is easy to forget about everything else going on in real life.
[REMOVED] My focus at the moment is simply on getting my DarkOrbit account moving in the right direction.

There are so many things to work on as a new player. Ships, equipment, upgrades, drones, weapons, missions, gates, and resources can make the early stages a little overwhelming.
I am trying not to waste resources and would rather follow a sensible progression from the beginning. That made me wonder how long it actually takes before a new account starts feeling genuinely strong.

For experienced players, how long did it take you to reach that point?

I am not talking about becoming one of the strongest players on the server. I mean reaching a stage where you can handle tougher enemies, complete missions more comfortably, and feel like your account is properly developed.

What would you prioritize if you were starting again today? Would you focus on the ship, equipment, drones, missions, or saving resources for bigger upgrades?
Also, are there any common mistakes that new players should avoid during their first few months?

I would really appreciate some advice from experienced players. I would rather learn from people who have already gone through the early stages than spend months upgrading the wrong things.

 

just don't do it to yourself, do not play this. This is just a botting simulator with trains, lags, ultra expensive payments which are actually obligatory to play, connection issues, bugs and no living players. I don't play this and suggest you the same to stay sane.

 

you dont lol, ask members of diff clans and you ll get the answers youre looking for.

 

as above the game is aimed soley at the botting community, any legit player would have to pay a fortune to compete. or take years to last 20 seconds in pvp. utter joke

 

unfortunately it has become a pay to play game

if you just play and do it for the fun (like the oldtime players) you'll eventually get to where you can play and not die so easy

at least that's how i have played for so long.

it's just a game but the people i have met over the years keep me tuning in and moving along

hope you figure it out one way or another

see you in the world

 

With 2000 hours I don't feel that yet.

I think that with 1000 hours of proper played you can achieve this. Full Prometheus, BO3, Spartan, Plus ship etc.

I have an account that I created for this purpose, achieve as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. Honestly, I think I’m doing well. But there are things that simply take time. These 150 hours do not include the time I spent placing bids early on, nor the Skylab upgrade.




On this account, I play for about 15 minutes a day, complete the daily missions, and earn 8,000 Uridium per day. During the Galaxy Trek event, I would finish the easy missions and manage to get 20,000 Uridium daily. This is a way to play without it taking over your life, but I won’t lie, I’ve been spending more time than I’d like on my main account.

During the weekdays I do this, on the weekend, I can spend more time farming or doing missions.

I save up money for a while, and once I have a decent amount, I buy the discount and spend the weekend running gates. I came back playing again about 3 months ago, and I’ve been saving up money ever since.

On this account, I’ve only purchased a discount once. In total, I’ve spent less than 2 dollars on it so far. Last weekend, I took advantage of a 50% XP bonus and a discount to run Zetas and missions, I managed to reach level 20 and complete the Havoc set. I managed to get some pirated keys and I think I’ll be able to finish Apis and hopefully Zeus.

I’m far from being an experienced player, but I think the basics at the start remain the same.

What I did on this account and would do if I were starting now:

1º First of all, buy a Goliath Veteran and an SPC-XP02 module. Keep completing missions until you reach level 17, while acquiring LF3, BO2, G3N-7900 and Iris et the auciton. Do not spend Uridium on absolutely anything.

At level 17, you unlock the daily mission that grants 4,000 Uridium, as well as the BL map and the 10 prometheus missons.

2º With a good amount of uridium, at least 700,000, I would buy the discount. Buy the drill and moth formations and do Zeta until uridium ran out. On average, I spend 105,000 Uridium to complete a Zeta with a 60% discount; since you earn ~45,000 back from it, the cost is 60,000 per gate. I forgot to mention, but you also earn spins, logs, and keys from daily missions.

Only spend your keys on Zeus Day. By the time you manage to assemble it, you will have obtained all the LF4s you need, spending them at any other time is a waste. You will also be able to obtain items to build ships, or the completed ship itself.

And this is where I’m at right now. Running Zeta until I can assemble Zeus, and after that, continuing to run Zeta until I’ve assembled all the Prometheus.
