Dark Orbit is a flash, MMO - Based space game, with the generic three companies fighting over resources.
Which would be all good and dandy if it weren't for a few features:
-You are vulnerable from level one to high-level players. Move out of your home map and Blam! dead.
-When you die, you have to use PAID FOR currency to repair. You can earn it in-game. 1 per enemy kill and about 30 per quest. 500 currency for one repair. To get a free repair, you have to get extremely rare 'Repair Credits'.
-Getting in the top 1000 of a server is impossible without paying, as everyone in that class spends about 100-400 US dollars or British Pounds a year on the game.
The sole purpose of the game is the kill enemies and aliens. aliens have poor rewards and the only players you find in your territory are the annoying max-level 'Wallet Warriors'. The only decent way to earn a living is by waiting for an Invasion gate to spawn, as each kill gives you 100+ uridium and repairs are free if you die in it.

Conlusion:
dark Orbit would have had great potential: if it wasn't made by a money-hungry company. Bigpoint, in other words.
