Darkorbit Ranking system

Darkorbit players in addition to different levels can have also ranks. The highest rank is General and the lowest is basic space pilot. There is only one General per every company (and you know that there are only three companies in the game).

If you want to climb to the top of the career ladder you must be an active player and have high enough skills. It's always a good decision to join a power clan.

Here is the list of the ranks (and how many percents of players get each rank):

1 General (max. 1 per company)
2 Basic General (0,01%)
3 Chief Colonel (0,10%)
4 Colonel (0,50 %)
5 Basic Colonel (1,00%)
6 Chief Major (1,50%)
7 Major (2,00%)
8 Basic Major (2,50%)
9 Chief Captain (3,00%)
10 Captain (3,50%)
11 Basic Captain (4,00%)
12 Chief Lieutenant (4,50%)
13 Lieutenant (5,00%)
14 Basic Lieutenant (6,00%)
15 Chief Sergeant (7,00%)
16 Sergeant (8,00%)
17 Basic Sergeant (9,00%)
18 Chief Space Pilot (10,0%)
19 Space Pilot (12,39%)
20 Basic Space Pilot (20,00%)

The rank calculation formula is extremly complex, it involves almost everything you've done in the game, including player/NPC kills, quests, level, etc.

Darkorbit: joining clans...

You need to have 50,000 credits for joining a clan, that's sad. But from the other hand, it means that clans will not be oversaturated. Making the 50,000 credits isn’t a difficult task though.

It's a really good idea to join a clan as soon as possible, especially when you're a relatively new player. Clans add to Darkorbit some social elements, when you can chat with other players, help them (and they help you too) and of course fight together against enemies, what gives you much more fun.

Some clans are large elite ones, it's very difficult to get into them. If you're a new player try to find a smaller clan, but it has to be active.

Many more experienced clan members will gladly answer your questions if you have them, so participating in clans will help you to fast start your gaming experience. Sometimes other clan members will help you also with credits, but don't abuse them or you'll be dropped very soon.

But the most funny part of being a clan member is when you're fighting together against NPCs and human enemies.
