This is a formula that will divide your Experience by 100,000 and Honor by 100, which will equal your top user points. Top user points show up in the hall of fame.
Rank points are also based on a mathematical formula that is figured by a variety of factors, such as experience, level, honor, quests finished, Ships Points destroyed, Alien Points destroyed, and your ship type. There are also factors that will reduce your rank points such as times destroyed, own company kills, radiation zone destructions, and phoenix (starter) ships destroyed. Rank Points do not show up in the hall of fame.
DarkOrbit uses two types of currencies: credits and uridium. Uridium, common abbreviated "Uri", is more valuable and harder to obtain. Some types of equipment and ammunition can be purchased using credits, however the most valuable or "elite" items can only be bought with uridium. However, for some of those elite items, there is an option to bid using credits. This auction system is used to control inflation of credits. Many new items are not offered in trade. The P.E.T. 10 is a highly priced drone that increases with costs as the player levels it up. Ship designs are also available in the auction.However,certain valuable equipment such as Drone designs or Elite laser ammo are not available in the auction. Uridium can be purchased in exchange for real money via PayPal, credit card, or another method of payment. Uridium can't be traded.
DarkOrbit utilizes a real-time combat system. In combat, a variety of weapons can be used to destroy aliens and other players. These include laser cannons, laser ammunition, rockets, rocket launchers, and mines. Players need to click on their target to lock on before they can begin shooting. Successfully destroying an enemy will result in a "cargo box" containing ore being dropped that the player can take. If the destroyed ship is a player, it will cost 500 Uridium to repair the ship, although the ship started with in the game is free to repair. This was available only before Darkorbit Reloaded. At the moment, you can choose to repair your ship for free, spawning at your home base, paying 700 Uridium (or one repair credit + 200 Uridium) to spawn at the nearest portal on the map (note that on 4-x maps there are not demilitarized zones, so be careful), or you can pay 800 Uridium (or one repair credit + 300 Uridium) to spawn at the same spot your ship got destroyed.
