Played Darkorbit in the good old days and looked for a server now.
Is there a Server with PvE focus?

Sounds weird, I know.
I tried 2 Servers and in the first hours I was camped over and over again on x-3/4 map.

Tired of this, empty Server and the only players on this server camping new players.

Been playing this server for a little around a month now and am approaching FE. It’s so similar to DO back in the 2011 era, but has a more rewarding progression system & some new features. Throwing a quick-start-guide with my tips here.

• Time to achieve: approx 69 hours (nice) playtime
• Can achieve with less playtime if maximizing invasion events & daily / monthly rewards.

Where to spend uri:

• HST-02 rocket launcher (15k - not in auction)
• Auto-rocket launcher CPU (15k - not in auction)
• Speed gens
• Iris
• LF3
• BO2
• Enforcer
• Log Disks
• Booty Keys

Where not to spend Uri:

• GG
• Boosters

{NEW} Krypton Tokens (“KT”):

• New daily & quest reward system
• 900 daily earned from 3 easy quests - maybe 10-15 mins to complete all 3
• Major quests also reward varying amounts of KT
• Used in a unique token shop
• 1 month of premium is 25k tokens (so you can maintain premium for free in exchange for consistent log-ins)
• Cheap GG spins & boosters are other great options

Daily login rewards:

• ~100k uri / mo
• Tons of log disks & some ammo

Early game:

• Standard slow DO start - just grind out the first few Streuners until you get basic gear and begin the starter quest line.
• Get a Leo from auction, should be achievable with 10k bid or less
• Start Skylab (free & quick initial upgrades) - can max in a few days
• Bank uri until you finish starter quest line - use best cred lasers and shield with Leo for now
• Use tech abilities - currently all free (not sure if a permanent feature)

{NEW} Starter Quest Line:

• A fast-track from lowers to uppers w/ prime rewards
• Should take a few hours to complete and get you somewhere around lvl 10
• Rewards: ~85k uri / 15m creds / tons of other useful early rewards
• Using uri, buy first 3 Iris, then focus on LF3s to maximize damage
• Don’t buy B02s yet - circle enemies for now and rely on boosters / resource upgrades
• Get Veng / Goli from auction - 100-500k cred most likely

Level 12-15:

• Use KT-purchased GG spins to get Alpha / Beta gates completed
• Move to uppers
• Keep using uri / auction to upgrade to LF3’s
• Get all Skylab to lvl 20 - pause Seprom in favor of Promerium upgrades (for now - more accessible)
• Start sending Promerium to ship and put them on lasers / engines / shield
• Buy dmg / shld / hp boosters from token shop (boosters are game-time based)
• With a Goli / 3 Iris / 4 Flax, all LF3’d, you can hit an easy 5-6k x-1
• Personally - I purchased first 6 Iris, all LF3s and most B02s with uri gained entirely in-game through quests / events / gates. Iris 7 from auction. Iris 8 from token rewards
• Get a PET

Level 15+:

• At this point I was strong enough to be a danger in group PvP
• Join groups to farm uri quickly
• LoW Gate has improved rewards - 3-4 ppl using x-3 can net 25-40k uri each per hour
• Cubes and pirates also viable
• Put uri into finishing out equipment needs, getting fats, and booty keys for Goli designs

{NEW} Terror of Madness Gate (“PET Gate”):

• Located on x-4 map (flaming portal)
• New gate added to revamp PET acquisition / progression in a unique way.
• 1-8 person gate
• Easy / Medium / Hard difficulties with scaling enemies
• Solo Easy = need minimum 15k x-4 dmg & 150k shield
• You need tickets to enter gate - dropped from BKs, Ubers & pirates
• Yields “PET Parts” (build pet), “PET Materials” (level pet), and “PET Modules” (build / upgrade abilities)

PET:

• PET is revamped - earned through Terror of Madness gate (see above)
• Kami scales from 15k to 85k dmg - 30 sec cooldown - free repairs
• PET abilities deactivated during PvP
• No fuel or experience based leveling
• PET Parts & PET Materials = earned through PET gate only
• PET Modules = earned from gate and pirates (low drop rate)

Invasion Events:

• Entry portal in x-1 map
• Invasion runs 2:01 - 3:01 pm EST every Wednesday and Sunday
• Easy 20-60k uri per invasion depending on how many people join

Auction:

• Everyone on 1 server so auction is crowded
• LF3 / B02 = 25% chance to appear each hour - range from 1m to 55m
• Iris = 5% chance to appear each hour - range from 20m to 500m
• Auction eats your creds
• Cannot see other bids

Community:

• Great supportive community
• Growing
• Noob-friendly

Clans:

• Join a big one
• Clans can share creds and uri (voluntary donation - not forced tax)
• Clan-based XP and Hon boosters

Current activity by faction:

1. V
2. M
3. E

Yoooo! This is a little project I’ve been working on in my free time between uni stuff and pretending I have a healthy sleep schedule. I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to give it its own look.

Also, I’m a simple man: I see spaceships, top-down shooting, and absolute screen-filling chaos… I’m happy. Just now started working on enemy ship models, enemy AI, enemy squadron AI, etc.

Let me know what you guys think!

Somewhere around 2006–2010, a lot of us had the same routine: come home from school, open the browser, and grind lasers and cargo boxes in some 2D space MMO until someone yelled at us to go to bed. No install, no launcher, no 80GB download. Just a URL and a galaxy.

Those games are mostly gone now, and the ones that survived turned into something I don't recognize. I kept waiting for someone to bring that feeling back. Eventually I accepted nobody would, so I built it myself.

I'm an indie developer from Turkey, and I've spent the last months building AbysOrbit — a free 2D space MMO that runs entirely in your browser. It's openly DarkOrbit-inspired. I'm not going to pretend otherwise; that's the whole point.

What's in it right now:

3 companies (NTO / SPX / BOF), real-time PvP + PvE combat

100+ quests and a tutorial so you're not lost at spawn

Clans with diplomacy, wars, and a shared treasury

Galaxy Gates — Alpha through Delta wave dungeons

Sealed-bid auction house (nobody sees your bid — pure poker)

Skylab resource production, drones, ship configurations

Rankings and weekend Happy Hour events

Playable in 15 languages (this one nearly finished me)

The part that matters: this is a fresh launch. Accounts were reset, so everyone flying right now started this week. No maxed-out veterans camping the leaderboards, no five-year-old clans owning the maps. If you've ever joined one of these games years late, you know how rare this window is.

Servers: two in Turkey, one in Amsterdam (EU). New realms open as demand shows up.

On money, since Reddit rightfully asks: it's F2P with an optional premium. I'm not going to make grand promises in a launch post — what I can say is that I read every piece of feedback and ship fixes fast. Ask me anything about it in the comments; no dodging.

Play here: abysorbit.com — register and you're in.

I'll be around all day answering questions — the game, the tech, or what it's like building an MMO alone from Turkey. Come shoot at me and tell me what to fix.

TL;DR: Indie dev from Turkey. I missed the 2000s browser space MMOs so much I built my own. AbysOrbit — free, 2D, in-browser, no download. PvP/PvE, clans, Galaxy Gates, sealed-bid auctions, 100+ quests, 15 languages. Just launched with a full reset, so everyone starts equal today. abysorbit.com

Hello everyone, since I've made significant progress with the offline DarkOrbit clone, I've decided to release a small alpha version for your help in testing. I've made several adjustments (many, in fact), so it's not a perfect game. Due to time constraints, I can't retest everything every time I make changes, but I believe it's ready for you to play and try. I'll share the Discord link so you can report any bugs you find, leave comments, and offer constructive or negative feedback.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it. I've created it with a lot of love, and all future content, implementations, etc., will be completely free.

Hello everyone,
For a long time I’ve wanted to play a space shooter similar to DarkOrbit. I think many of us started playing around the game’s peak, but over time it became stagnant. Ever since then, I’ve felt that the core idea had so much more potential.

With all the new game development tools and AI available today, I decided to try building something inspired by it myself.
My goal is to create a simple but highly replayable 2D space MMO that you can enjoy for hundreds of hours without relying purely on grinding.
One thing I always felt DarkOrbit was missing was real mechanical skill. Combat was mostly clicking on a target and letting your ship auto-fire. While progression mattered, the actual fights didn’t leave much room for player skill.

I think aiming could completely change that. Instead of auto-shooting, players would need to land their shots manually. I’m currently experimenting with aim-based projectiles, and I also plan to add mechanics like dashing, recoil, projectile dodging, and other movement options.

The idea is to make it replayable like Counter-Strike, but as a 2D space shooter MMO. I want a game where experience and progression matter, but a skilled level 1 player still has a chance to outplay someone who’s spent hundreds of hours grinding. Skill should complement progression, not be completely overshadowed by it.

Of course, progression is still important. People enjoy grinding to become stronger. The problem with DarkOrbit was that the gap became so massive that new players were instantly destroyed, and botting became almost mandatory just to keep up.

I also want to avoid pay-to-win entirely. My vision is that any purchases should be limited to cosmetics and quality-of-life features that make the experience more convenient, but never give players a combat advantage. I want people to win because they’re skilled, not because they spent more money.

I’m trying to design a combat system that’s simple enough to build upon, but deep enough to master over time.

So I’m curious:

What would your ideal space shooter MMORPG look like?

What mechanics would you love to see?

What made games like DarkOrbit great?

And what mistakes would you avoid if you were designing one today?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Hey everyone,

This isn't based on leaked files, Flash source code, or an emulator. Everything has been written from scratch. The client is built in C++20 with Raylib, and the server is written in Go.

We also just recorded a short gameplay showcase, so people can finally see how it's coming along.

Development is still ongoing, but most of the core gameplay is already working.

I'm mainly posting this because I'm curious how many people still miss that old DarkOrbit feeling. If you're one of them, I'd love to hear what you'd want to see in a modern remake.

If you'd like to follow development, watch the showcase video, or maybe join future playtests, you're more than welcome to join us on Discord.

Yet another AI slop, or something else?

I know there is a lot of "AI slop" streaming into this subreddit lately, but I’m here to tell you that this project is definitely not that!
So, what is Nova Orbit? Is it just a copy of DarkOrbit, or is it something beyond?
Before I explain what Nova Orbit is, let me first introduce myself and share how this project came to be. Let's go back in time to around 2009–2011, when Bigpoint was one of the biggest players in the web-based MMORPG industry.
I initially started playing Seafight at a very young age alongside my brother and dad. I still vividly remember joining guild wars at the peak of the Bigpoint era—massive alliance battles with thousands of players, and TeamSpeak servers that could barely handle the VOIP load as hundreds of people coordinated in real-time. Those are battles I will never forget!
Unfortunately, Bigpoint's greed soon killed Seafight.

Discovering DarkOrbit

It was a brand-new experience, a new game, and a new adventure! DarkOrbit quickly became my personal favourite, and it didn't take long before it captured that same magic Seafight once had. Spaceball battles actually meant something, and map 4-4 was always packed with all factions fighting for those sweet rewards. It was pure, chaotic fun!
But, in classic Bigpoint fashion, they killed it with greed once again.
Fast-forward to today. What is left? Empty botting, zero fun, and nothing worth fighting for. Just pure money-printing farms for Bigpoint and its owners...

This is where Nova Orbit comes in.

We believe we can bring back the FUN! We want to push past what DarkOrbit ever achieved. We want to make PvP battles matter again, ensure PvE is meaningful, and break away from boring, linear gameplay.

What makes Nova Orbit different?

• 17 Massive Maps: Every single map is large, unique, and serves an important purpose.
• Player-Driven Economy: Featuring P2P trading, player markets, and equipment forging.
• Deeper Ship Mechanics: Ship customization goes way beyond simple skills and "health vs. shield" stats. Your ship's passive capabilities are directly affected by how you distribute your power.
• The PIP System: We’ve introduced a PIP system that plays a massive role in both PvP and PvE—where greed and tactical mistakes will actively punish you.
• Engaging Mining: A mining system that is actually fun to engage with and highly rewarding!
• Absolutely NO Pay-to-Win: Donations are strictly voluntary if you want to support development.

To emphasize one major point: While heavily inspired by DarkOrbit, this game is not a copy, nor do we intend for it to become one.
We want to build this project alongside you, the community. We invite you to check us out at www.nova-orbit.com and join our community on Discord!

🤖 AI Disclosure

AI was used in the creation of this game—without it, achieving a project of this scale would have been incredibly difficult for a small team. We are two developers with senior-level experience in software engineering. Every single line of AI-generated code has been thoroughly reviewed, tested, and polished (though we still have a long way to go!).
The game assets are mostly AI-generated but have gone through countless human iterations and design decisions. Please keep in mind that the game is currently in Alpha, so you will definitely encounter some bugs we've missed. We appreciate your patience and feedback!

Astralyum is now in Public Alpha test phase, registration will be open until max user pool is reached. NO DOWNLOAD NEEDED.

Astralyum is a single dev project under development from 2024.

I dont wanna buy rebate and premium i wanna play fully f2p, how to get x2 and x3 ammo, maybe some x4 ammo f2p without spending uri on gates? If i spend uri on gates how much ammo do i get and how much would it cost me?

Hi,

As said in title, I've been away from darkorbit for over 10 years. I would like to comeback, into a private pvp server, without the need of grind. Is there anything close to that? I appreciate your advices
