It is one of the most popular online multiplayer games from Bigpoint games. First originating in German (which was the official language at first) then in the later years moved to English.

In order to target an enemy the player clicks the enemy and presses the CTRL button. The player also has a variety of lasers and rockets to choose from.

DO NOT PLAY DARK ORBIT, on christmas Day 2009, it got hacked and loads of players lost their accounts and their credit cards is at risk.
The customer service department is awful (typical of the german company) apparently one of their staff hacked into the system and stolen the accounts and some of them are now for sale on EBAY.
You have been warned do not play Dark Orbit
My experience with DO (by German BigPoint) is very bad.
For somebody (especially children) it could be habit-forming. Ambiguous or faulty rules (you’ll find it sooner or later when playing). Arrogant administrators (especially CZ/SK). Often swearwords and abuse in (CZ/SK) chat used. Instability/errors in GUI.
Administrator can ban you from the chat or user forum for more days without any warning or noticing (chuckling admins call it “silent murder”) just because of two letters in name (in my case BA as Bratislava) or for copying one Wikipedia page at user forum (30days ban) when arguing about that so called “BIG” should be added to The Rules, so users can recognize, it’s a “crucial personal information”, they cannot mention in chat (or 7days ban).
Administrators (CZ/SK) use swear words in replies to users i.e. “an*l alpinism” or “as*-crawler”, etc. If user asks to get any explanation of The Rules, admins often ignore him or block him on user’s forum.
In chat (even in “prime-time” 8:00-11:00 PM) is often a rude language, abuse and insulting seen. Children can join this “trash talk” without any problems.
Ambiguous or faulty rules, there’s more different version of the (SK-local) rules, one linked from main windown another from user’s forum. There’s no list of penalties mentioned in the rules, so it’s a pure administrators’ “free-style”. I’ve got no answer from the forum nor from support, which version of the rules is correct one.
In conclusion: if you’re calm, asking for nothing, complaining for nothing, just paying for Uridium, everything might be fine (except GUI instability and a chat trash talk). But if you are at the top with ship equipment (no much further fees expected?) or mention any technical problems with your ship control in chat (cost me 500 uri and 2days ban), troubles will begin (jeer, ban, blocking, ignoring…). My advice is, be very careful, if you consider to start with Dark Orbit!
This is a kick ass game do not listen to these fools
I have already used over 19000 dollars on the game. I lost my wife over it. she left me after I racked up such a huge bill on my card. I chose this game over her. all of my family hates me. I am not able to walk after so many hours of playing this game. and my eyesight is almost gone after days of nonstop playing. my heart is overrun with my huge fat body from eating and playing. I wiegh 562 pounds more than when I started playing. I was fired from my job for playing the game while in job. my house is about to be taken by the bank. I cannot pay the bills because of using so much money a day on this game. so I resort to selling my personal belongings. this is all I have left in this world. if it gets shut down from lack of players I will surely go play another game. from bigpoint because I have so much money already invested in them. I play on the usa east server. my name on the server is evil titan. if you see me remember to run because I will destroy you. I can even kick ur butt in real life. so don’t mess with me. the doctors say I have to stop but as all you hardcore gamers know. nobody can make me stop playing with bigpoint. also can somebody send me cash to pay my house. the bill is for 12000 dollars.
I have used only 2000 on the game in a year of playing. My son is very addicted to this game and uses all the money I give him on it, he has been playing since the game started. Anyway don’t start playing darkorbit unless you can use at least 50 a month on this game. If I take it away from my son for one day, he geos on a rampage destroying everything in his path, throwing books hitting the tv breaking 2 liter bottles and milk cartons just to get the floor soggy. He has a girlfriend on this game who came to visit him, here is the catch though, she was 20 and he is only 13. You can imagine my suprize when I see a twenty year old woman at my door, asking me if I am my sons game username. She looked like she came to have sex and go. My son saw her and immediately hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek, then I called the cops, my son deosnt play anymore, he threw his computer out the window because I told him to stop playing, and it worked out well for me because I am not going to buy him another one. Anyway this was my experience with this awful game. Make sure if you and your kids start playing that you watch them carefully. Thank you for reading this and remember if you begin to see signs that your son or daughter is getting addicted to this game, remove it immediately and without remorse. Don’t let them get to addicted unless you want them to be playing untill college. You have been warned, DO NOT PLAY DARKORBIT!
PAY ONLY WITH A WALLIE CARD DONT DO IT WITH A CREDIT CARD YOU STUPID FOOLISH PEOPLE
why would u spend 2000 thats a rip off ive only spent 20 dollars on it.
Well if you have used 20 dollars on it I guess u have either just started…. u will never have a ship worth playing for 20 dollars. The minimum cost of a full elite is 125.00 dollar’s without premium… add 60 for a year of premium. Basically if you use 20 on this game and go you will never have a true game experience and will have wasted less money but have no game whatsoever. Btw I have only used 450 dollars on this game. I have an FE pilot biod up Enforcer… Have been playing for 3 years. I play this game for the people that I meet on teamspeak and the intense battles 40 vs 40… If you eant a cheaper game style get a game called jumpgate evolution… cost 50 bucks a year but includes full game. Pirategalaxy.com is also a great game… pirategalaxy is much easier to play for free and deosnt force you to buy anything like Darkorbit.
jane doe, yes, this is a “kick ass game”, where arrogant DODAs kick ass of ordinary players. Many found it yet, you will find it sooner or later as well. I put my experience (and many others) with this so called “free” online game at mydarkorbitexperience.com.
