Well actually, at this moment. I think it's still safe to bot. But like the packet bots,
There will be a time when everyone will get banned because of a packet/pixel bot.
But in the end, darkorbit will probably ban all people, who used bot. Everything is detectable! But I think, the most of you are right, if you bot smart, you won't get banned.
And I haven't got any prove, It's just what I think will happen.
Because in this time it was really good game and BP had marketing cooperation with big german televisions etc, there was DO TV spot translated to much languages..
It's funny because the developers told us they would bring back the online players counter and that they are not trying to hide how dead the servers are. A few months later they removed the online players counter from even the page source ^^
I think they wanted to completly remove it when new header come out but they forgot to delete it from pages with flash element in source.. I think they removed it when they make revision of old source code..
I see BP corrected some graphic effects for example - Portal animation to zeta gate and mines with PP explosions..
But what the hell is new backgrounds in gates? Again graphics got ****** up..
