Today we would like to take some time to discuss a topic that has been a major talking point for the community and us developers alike, ever since it first appeared: Bots.
From the perspective of a player, which many of us are, the damages the bots can do are quite apparent and the resulting mood is understandable. Particularly in a game like DarkOrbit, which focuses heavily on PvP and rankings, we can clearly see that the value of a high rank or record scoring run is diminished when it’s not clear if that record was achieved legitimately.
The same goes for the whole development team, be it the Game Designer who spends a lot of time on balancing the game’s economy and encounters, the programmers whose code is abused by the bot creator or the numerous chat and forum moderators who work tirelessly to answer the questions and needs of the community; all trying to create a positive and enjoyable game for the honest players, which the vast majority of the player base are.
Over a period now, we have worked exclusively in the background and not made any public statements on this topic to ensure that the bot creators knew as little as possible about our measures and detection systems. And while we updated our encryption systems to try to shut the bots down, we feel that a holistic approach to this issue requires the support and understanding of the community itself.
That being said we would like you to know that we are currently working on a major update to the way bots are detected and punished which we hope will drastically change the overall amount and frequency of bots in the game. And while we anticipate this to be a big step in the right direction, as we speak out publicly against the use of bots, we ask you to do the same and take a stance against the bots, in-game and on the forums.
In closing: We have big plans for DarkOrbit, but we know the bot situation is critical and are working on multiple fronts to tackle this problem.
Thank you for your support and patience on this matter.
Your DarkOrbit Team
Another one of BP's useless movements to destroy the rest of their game. Is there even any way to fix Darkorbit right now? Will they even implement a new system, or is this just to scare people?

I now for sure that there is something going on. A chatmod on German server said that there will maybe be a new client, if I understood that right. So we will see what that means.
from 16 - 30 will come the new update, then they will ban the players, top 100 will not get permanent ban but they will loose much , the new acc´s will be banned perm.

cause they destroy the game !!
everyone that want safe his acc , bot now much and then make break to see what will happen
Some weird things about new bot detection system 08/08/2011 - DarkOrbit - 14 Replies :confused:
I do not know if I am being paranoiac, but I have noticed some strange things that are happening in the space simulator.
I have noticed that after some amount of picked bonus boxes in a continuous way, there is a little stop, around five or six seconds. And after that, you can pick boxes again. Maybe this is a method that points out bot users because they can avoid that little stop. I don't know if I am being paranoiac, but this thing makes me feel uncomfortable about using a...
