An on-and-off ORB player for the majority of my life, I've recently taken a special interest in the rather mysterious history of the game, from its forums preserved on archive.org to tearing through the game's files myself, a curiosity sparked largely by this very wiki. Given the inactivity around here, I have decided to try to patch the odd hole in it, or perhaps even add the occasional bit of new information.. though I am much too scatterbrained to truly commit to a full-on wiki revival effort.

In terms of multiplayer, I have little preference for Malus or Alyssia; both factions are nigh-indistinguishable in my eyes, with their differences only becoming apparent in protracted engagements rather than the one-on-one duels that I prefer in RTS games. If given the choice, I will usually default to Alyssia on account of their voice lines.. assuming I don't have Malus' voices swapped out with those from a different game.

I do, admittedly, have something of a lofty dream, where ORB could genuinely be modded to become the game its developers intended it to be all those years ago, or at least close to it; the Kyulek added as a playable race, new ships for each faction (namely minelayers or an equivalent), perhaps even new campaigns, and who knows what else? Of course, given the age of the game and thus ancient coding methods and required libraries, plus the likelihood that Strategy First won't bother to help such efforts, renders this dream little more than just that.. but, perhaps it may not be some day?
