In Game UIEdit

Fixed buttons^[1]Edit

There is a cluster of symbols on the top right of the space map which cannot be moved. If you click on these, their windows will open in the middle of the space map.

These fixed buttons have been arranged around the DarkOrbit logo so that they don't block your view of space. You'll also find the current version of the client here. Here's a bit more information about each of the fixed buttons:

1. Logout: Looks like a power symbol
2. Question mark: Opens the game manual
3. Socket wrench: Opens a window with your current client settings.
4. Double-arrow: Opens the chat to sell items on the space station.
5. Gate symbol: Starts a jump from a gate/jump portal (or use the J key).
6. Monkey wrench: Allows you to carry out instant repairs if you have any Insta-Repair credits (mouse over the icon to display current credits available)
7. Ship Switch: Allows you to perform a ship warp.

LogoutEdit

Clicking on the "Logout" button will allow you to log out of the space map safely and without battle incident. Certain "events" (like currently participating in a battle or currently participating in a Galaxy Gate) will not allow you to log out and you must complete (or get destroyed) the "event".
