I am playing since beta.. For the first time ever since way back last year I was really bored with VO. I logged off and went to read a book. :(

I need a sign, I need HOPE! PLEASE!!!
Anyone?

I believe that the recent lull in new content for VO, is due to the devs' office move, and getting the new dev on board, I hear that there is a lot of development that is ongoing, and we should get some updates soon.
However, I have noticed player instigated activities have started to emerge in the absence of updates to the game, organised cap ship battles, scavenger hunts, increased guild activity, more roleplaying. The other night, I spent an evening trading my substantial ore stocks with individual players, I got a good price without the hassle of transporting the ore to a distant station, they saved themselves the drudgery of mining, there was a lot of roleplay throughout the whole episode, with bartering, and drinks in the bar , all in character. It's like our parents and grandparents always told us, before TV,Video games and the like people had to "make their own entertainment", maybe the lack of updates will actually help the gameplay improve, through players being more imaginitave, and looking less to be spoon fed by the devs.
Thanks to Who? Me? and Epideme for an enjoyable nights roleplay!

Good point, but we're paying to be entertained. That doesn't mean we're not impatient, but it means that the devs' job, to some extent, is to spoonfeed us entertainment!

Yet again just flying around in vendetta is cool. I guess we could go explore gray space or something. But....we still need an update! PLEASEEE.

While an update would be nice, I really think that Duncan is just pining away for our old playmates to come back. You know who you are.

People made their own entertainment by going outside into a world with far, far more to do than there is in Vendetta. You know. The outside. With the sun.

Hmm, go outside where the sun is? I don't get home till it's setting, so VO is a better option, or I guess I could rot my brain with TV, oh wait, I do that too… hmmm…

UPDATE Already!! Or at the very least update the In-Progress, or even your own "Design Wiki" which you said was going to be used to let us know where you were in production. Like that ever happened. :eyes roll:

It’s not a real update but there are some changes planned for the Cap ship battle this Saturday.

1. Cap ships will spawn at there ready positions
UIT -- Azek I-16, Serco -- Initros O-12 and Itani -- Edras H-15
2. Turrets will now fire different weapons. Not just AGTs. Not sure what weapons though.
3. And most important cap ship and turret armor has been increased. Not sure by how much.
4. And hopefully bot behavior will change to allow the cap ships to actually survive ion storms.

I know this is not a replacement for an update but its something. Those minor changes will give a whole new feel to the cap ship battles.

And before FM says it “Be Patient they’re working on it :)”

I won't say it. Instead I'll say: There's already a current topic about this, and it's more appropriately named.
