DarkOrbit: Update Keyboard Configuration
(Aug 25, 2008, 11:12 AM)
React lightning fast: Control central functions from your keyboard!

Hello Space Pilot,

In order to provide you with more fun in space, we have made some changes to the keyboard configuration. Effective immediately, you can control additional functions from your keyboard.

What’s new? For starters:

- For a better overview: turn off the menu from the keyboard (H key)
- Change your ammunition from the keyboard with the number keys 1,2,3,4 and 5
- Change your rockets faster with the keys E, R and T

These and many other functions can now be performed lightning fast from your keyboard. Further keyboard shortcuts and other information can be found, as usual, in the forum.

DarkOrbit: Regain your honor!
(Aug 13, 2008, 3:21 PM)
Changes in the penalty system and a new quest to save your honor!

Greetings Space Pilot,

To make it easier for new players to enter the game, the penalty system in DarkOrbit has been changed. Did you collect the wrong things a few times, and now your honor is at an all time low? That can happen: To save your honor, complete a special quest which will earn you a whole lot of positive honor points. Who wants to travel through space as an outlaw anyway?

As always, further information about the quest and the changes can be found in our forums.

New at DarkOrbit: Cargo box timers and higher penalties for company kills!
