JULY 1ST, 2010
We thank everyone for there support for the 'ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta' product. We had an absolute pleasure playing the game with you guys.
We are proud to have been able to develop and release this for free. We have learned a lot and we are dubbing this the 'Social Experiment'. We have obtained a wealth of community feedback regarding the Source Beta and have applied it to our new endeavor, 'ORION: Prelude' - our companies first endeavor.
The Source Multiplayer Beta was shut down on July 1st, 2010. We are currently focused on the brand new independent title.

And opens up! We are pleased to announce that ORION: Source Beta is officially Open-Source! We have been talking about this behind doors for a little bit now and it is finally time. We are extremely humbled to how far we have come and without Valve, Source, the Source SDK and the release of the ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta - it wouldn't have been possible.
We would like to give back to the Source Modding Community. You may have noticed our Firearm's acquisition April Fools joke where they featured some of our old dinosaur content in the media - well now you can do the same.

ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:
Sadly, we need to make a few disclaimers. First and most importantly - the Source Code. I unfortunately had a hard drive crap out in late 2009. This means that the Source Code included is the source code from roughly 5-6 months before the first public release. So much of it is dated and will probably appear broken, however, after much discussion we figured that someone out there may find some use from it - so we included it anyways.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER:
There is of course bound to be a few glitches here and there. There also may be some missing content. If we stumble upon any additional assets or materials or source code elements, we will make an update and release it. Let us know any problems you may encounter.
This is a (for the most part) un-organized collection of the files. You talented folk will be responsible for decompiling and reconstruction of the files. This is simply our permission to use it in your mods and products - those of which have no financial gain.

Hi guys are you still about/? What a decent mod. BUT no servers. If you are about can you make bot support please. regards..
Mate, they turned this into it's own full game like 10 years ago. It's called Orion: Prelude on Steam.
anyone still wants to play? hit me up
Not have much time for these things right now, but as the mod is open sourced, maybe someone on bots united want to add his own bots for this great mod, making it playable even when nobody is there to fight you, which could make the mod a bit more famous, or at least make it never dies completly.
Good luck, and have fun ^^.
The problem with making multiplayer mods is if the mod doesn't have a strong or big enough community, then the mod will probably fail since there are no servers and/or no one is playing it. Try and get your mods name out there and I'm sure lot's of people will play your mod. Good Luck in the future.
Anyone still Playing this?
ill play, such a great mod
someone make a server
No one is ever online...
i love playing this mod... the only problem is no one has a server up (or the only servers are LAN) and there are no bots
