Vendetta

Me and Mitth'raw'nurudo are playing on it now

It has real spaceflight mechanics (well, almost)

Koool Thanks!

Space CTF!??!

*DR0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0L!!!!*

EDIT: I hope it's a top-down shootie. I love those

It's really kool actually, except those stupid insane NPCs in sector 12 that keep blowing me up! Good eats there (purple stuff on the radar) but you'll need a really sturdy or fast ship to get at it...

Ok...that's weird. I've DL'd the whole thing, it said everything is ready, then when I go to play...nothing. Unless this game is supposed to take 5 minutes to start up.

Ah, I dunno. It runs real smooth on my POS Ratboat tho.

The file you download from their web page is just a program that installs the rest of the game (and updates it when necessary.) Just give it some time to download.

I used to play the game a lot a while ago, but I've gotten bored with it recently. I'll probably come back when they implement real objective-based warfare, instead of just CTF.

Wow...how detailed is it?

JodoForce · Post by **JodoForce** » 2003-07-19 09:47am

I've never seen the damn flag in the game

How do you get at it

Drooling Iguana · Post by **Drooling Iguana** » 2003-07-22 04:09am

There's one in each bast. It's a spinning energy globe-type thing. Should be marked by a pink dot on your radar.

JodoForce · Post by **JodoForce** » 2003-07-22 10:04am

yeah, been to two flag runs--exciting

Ah ok, so that's what that sphere with a buncha dead ships floating around it was...

In the end they will charge a monthly fee for it though. This is just an "open beta".

Am I the only one having severe connection difficulties? I can't even create an account to download the beta from due to the server timing out over half the time.

I thought dead ships just explode

So what's your account name?

Einhander Sn0m4n...

EDIT: Actually I think I'll quit Vendetta. Every time I try to eat some purple stuff, the NPCs blow me up in three hits...

Ein: stay in your home sectors, the bots there are not so tough

also ask for somebody to give you money

Go on the blue team, we've got a run of flag captures, we're allgetting an extra million credits every day--you can buy the most powerful ship and start kicking asses right away

Alan Bolte · Post by **Alan Bolte** » 2003-07-23 12:53am

Damn those are some pretty asteroids. Nice glows too. Gonna DL, I think.

Holy crap! That looks amazing! (Immediately downloads it.)

Alan Bolte · Post by **Alan Bolte** » 2003-07-23 01:52pm

Well that was entertaining. Wonderful pricing balance, though I find the 100+% profits to be a little silly. Got a Mtrans with heavy engine and power cell on my first run through. Gonna scavenge and trade till I can get that turret. Then I'm gonna scavenge and trade without fear. Haven't left sector 4 yet, I'm playing blue. I'm Poison Quill.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2003-07-23 06:07pm

Damn it, I went Red on an impulse. I finally hit my stride and got a decent ship with some nice weapons, and I'm financing my Medium Transport and a backup fighter just in case I die.

I don't suppose there's any way to switch teams, is there?

JodoForce · Post by **JodoForce** » 2003-07-23 07:27pm

Just add another character
