| - An orbiter is a space probe that orbits a planet or other astronomical object. An orbiter can be either man-made, or created naturally..
- When picked up, the Orbiter item will make a small Orbiter, which resembles a metallic sphere with antennas and a green shooting device attached to its front, fly in circles around the player for 20 seconds, firing off tiny green bullets at enemies at a 0.5 seconds rate that do 3 damage each. When the time runs out, the Orbiter will explode and hurt enemies with its explosion. There is no limit to how many Orbiters and Orbit Bombers can be active at the same time.The bullets fired by the Orbiter are also used by the Good Turret and appear in some Rage effects.
- Orbiter is Coolmarshall's enemy.
- An Orbiter carries a smaller vessel called a Landing Craft, which are the actual ships that deliver the Tenno into the combat zone. Rugged and dependable, Landing Craft are capable of travel in a variety of environments, including deep space, planetary atmospheres, and even through the ocean depths.
- An orbiter is a small companion, always closely circling around your ship or travelling on its hull. Friendly types of orbiters are able to help the ship's pilot in various tasks or ways. Should your ship be destroyed or should you change your ship while an orbiter is installed, the orbiter will be lost (regardless of whether an escape pod is installed or not). All orbiters are avalilable as commodities. To install one on your ship, you have to carry one and press [Inst] next to its icon in the cargo display on the nav screen.

- Author: Dr. Martin Schweiger (Freeware) Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Languages: English Description: ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system. Scientifically based space ship simulator. Many real historical models, and also fantasy vehicles. You can choose the Vostok 1 mission and follow Jurij Gagarin and be the first man to orbiter the earth, starting from the space center in Baikonur. Or choose a fantasy spaceship and start from a fantasy spaceport and travel to Jupiter. Main site: Comment: Steep learning curve, because it is a reality based simulator. It helps if you study the pdf file: "GoPlayInSpace_2dEdition.pdf", which is available at the Orbiter web sites. Learn the most common keyboard shortcuts from that file. But you can also make it easy, by giving the ship unlimited fuel and fly as you like through the atmosphere or above it. Travel to any planet as you like. A graphically beautiful program, with realistic effects of rockets exhausts, re-entry flames around the ship, and very detailed surface maps of the earth and most planets. Hundreds of spaceships, rockets, aeroplanes included, and even more available as addons from Orbiter web sites and wikis. It is easy to install an addon file. Unzip it into the Orbiter folder. Make sure the unzipper respects the subfolder structure in the zip file so that files are automatically placed in the correct subfolders in the Orbiter directory. A joystick is nice to have for this program, but it is usable with just keyboard and mouse too. Control camera position with the right mouse button, hold and drag in different positions. F1 is used to quickly shift between the view from inside the ship and the ship seen from outside. Start up the engines by holding down ctrl-plus (on the numerical pad) for a few seconds which turns up the engines to full power.

All orbiters are avalilable as commodities. To install one on your ship, you have to carry one and press [Inst] next to its icon in the cargo display on the nav screen. At the same time, only one orbiter can be installed on your ship! It is possible to remove an installed orbiter any time in the Overview->Ship Screen.
- An Orbiter carries a smaller vessel called a Landing Craft, which are the actual ships that deliver the Tenno into the combat zone. Rugged and dependable, Landing Craft are capable of travel in a variety of environments, including deep space, planetary atmospheres, and even through the ocean depths. A Tenno rides a Landing Craft by magnetically attaching to a covered passenger compartment by its underbelly, which flips them over inside so they are lying on their back when they deploy into the mission's Insertion point by simply dropping down from it. Landing Craft can also position themselves vertically on extraction points, where the Tenno can ride simply by stepping into the passenger compartment's human-shaped recess, where they are secured before the Landing Craft can depart. Landing Craft can also carry heavy cargo like Fomorian Power Cores by using a tractor beam to attach objects to its underside. There are currently four variants of Landing Craft available to the Tenno, all of which have their own unique Air Support ability that can assist players in a mission once called upon by using Air Support Charges. Players can switch between available Landing Craft through the Main Menu, and selecting Equipment > Landing Craft > Select Landing Craft. The choice of currently equipped Landing Craft will determine the type of Air Support that the player's Air Support Charges will activate.
