This would have been a good game. And no, i'm not complaining about there being cash for currency, developers deserve a little something something for their work.
But money should be able to buy you an advantage, not *complete* domination and utter annihilation of the new players.

When you first start, you need to read the help guide. It will teach you a lot about this game. Also there is a dark orbit "bible". Here is the link: http://en.board.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/showthread.php?t=168136
Use that and the help to help you along your way. Stay in the x-1 maps, there is no PVP allowed there.
Keep your starter ship. Use it to do low level quests in x-1 maps and generate enough credits to get your skylab going. If you must go in x-2 maps to mine, grab a cloak.
Skylab is key: you need to be making Prometid/Duranium and eventually Promerium to make credits. Transfer what you make in the skylab to your ship, sell it at the space station. Get a bigger ship and the cargo expander so you can transfer more to your ship.
Keep saving up for elite gear, and dont get too involved anywhere else unless you know you can run away (I recommend the mod that will make your ship go 10x as fast).
If you die, just buy your ship with credits, dont use Uridium.

I tried this game for an hour.
Utter poop. Would not play again. Once I figured out how to play I figured out that the only way to be competitively viable is to spend real money. So f*** that s***, people don't go on Kongregate to pay money for stuff. Boring stuff, no less. Also if you die you lose nearly everything which is always fun.

Please up this comment to TELL KONGREGATE TO NOT SUPPORT ANY BIGPOINT COMMERCIAL GAMES...
Exspecially, since they aren't even real flash, but browsergames.

I didnt like this game. And I dont like that Kongregate keeps posting it as a new hot game. Any game that asks for payment to give players an unfair advantage in PvP is sh-te. Your a flash game website, not EA games. Remember the crowd your marketing at idiots.
Bet this gets taken down

The fact that they're asking for money for this game is almost as depressing as the fact that there are people out there willing to pay for it. The gameplay is extremely boring, the balance of power between paying players and free players is way too lopsided... seriously, I would play for the vast majority of the free games on here before I would pay for this piece of crap.

Stop adding online games like this on kong please. It takes about year to master game. Even sacred seasons dont take this time. 0/5

God, I played this game ages ago, and I hated it. I'm not gonna throw money down the drain, just so I have the ability to actually defend myself from the people who do. I worked so hard to get my ship higher just to have a PKer come through and force me all the way back to square one. This game is evil, and games like Starfighter: Disputed Galaxy put it too shame even if Pvp no longer works..

It need direct connection to the main servers... I've an account with Goliath K2 and other account with Leonov Starfighter, but i've created a new account with my Kong's acc... Not necessary (sorry the bad english, i'm brazillian)

Basic guidelines:
There will be a big bloodthirsty ship ready to kill you at all times, but that's the point of the game: kill or be killed.
The big ship is a player from an enemy company, and is an actual person on another computer.

Guys, you really should be able to sync your kong account with your existing D.O. account! It's lame starting from scratch.

well guys the trick to this game is to find a clan, i started playing this 2 years ago, found a clan that took me in and was able to become full elite(with the help of the clan) without spending any real cash(if you look at the trading tab u can bid on any item that costs uri using credits). these kind of games are only fun for the people who put in the time and effort, wether its in real cash or in game time, but either way once ur full elite it becomes a awesome game of stratagy and skill.

wtf i can't log into my old account when i played this on the site that is just ****ed up man now i can't play this with convenionce and must go to the main site...well screw u I QUIT (dramatic exit)

trouble is, its a no refund blind auction. wether win or loose, cash is gone. over time you can still get some uridum items, but unless you keep this up for a couple weeks and play downtime hours (for trade/safety) you wont get a good getup. and after you sticked long enough with it, you have all the uridum stuff for credits except the goliath ship. enter battle and die in under 5 seconds no matter what. IF you spend the cash on it, you will be excatly as strong as everybody else. i stopped at the "hord credits for ingame las vegas". not worth it.

getting money is no problem, get some teribiumish (3rd ressource), up your skylab, get refineries and devliever prot and duri to your ship, its 20k per 100ton cargospace. keep uping the skylab, do quests and collect boxes in the meantime. a couple hours and you can up your gear with semprom, fly a nosrtomo or a bigboy fully armed with 2 sets of generators (shield/speed) and a couple drones with guns. and once you have all that, thats as far as you go unless you start spending uriduim (cash). you CAN get uridum stuff with credits via trade,
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@11sert11 well sure, you CAN get the boxes. if you do a dozend start quests you can even get the startership, get a cloak and sollect boxes in X-2 and X-3 and make loads more then in X-1. issue still remains that a single enemy company ship crusies in X-1, killing all the <100$ players, even hunts the big spenders but doesnt get attacked by any of them. 90% of those still kill streuners and collect boxes even under fire, if they get hurt to much, return to base, rep and go collecting again, no matter the thread. if you have 100+ players MOVING in the sector and only 1-2 actually fights intruders... well, the suspicion is pretty clear.
at least in my time X-2 half of the players and X-3 and up most of the players actually do something.

Hey guys - we spoke to Bigpoint about the newbie killing issues, and they've disabled PvP in X-1 maps. Hopefully this will resolve it.
