New ships: Raptor - Widely hailed as a bad ship, another Vulture/Centurion clone that costs far more and takes a painful (to some) series of missions to acquire.

Revenant - Reskinned Wraith. Some say it handles like there's bricks in the rear of the ship.

New weapons: Concussion Rocket launcher - Painful (to some) series of missions to mine many many many ores (mission gives you six hours to complete it, but many can do it in 1.5, think about all that mining). All this for access to ONE item, ie... not the launchers in general, but just ONE of them (citation needed, unsupported rumor, haven't tried the mission because of this).

New content: Border Skirmish - Fun ongoing capship battles on the border of Deneb. Kinda borked at the moment, from what I hear.

Corvus - No license requirements to buy any weapon or ship, just faction level ones now.

New updates: Bugfixes - Lots and lots of boring bugfixes...

I missed some things, I'm sure of it.

EDIT: OH RIGHT! Serco population are at an all time low number.

1. New raptor? better stats?
2. Revenant as bricked wraith :(
3. New weps, concussion rockets. Are they fun?
4. Border skirmish was always bugged and extremely laggy :(
5. Any ships and weps at Corvus? You can buy nation ships too there?
6. Bugfixes usually produce new bugs :(
7. Sercos all time low. Yah, one of the reasons im on a prolongued leave of absence from VO.

1. Raptor - It can stop on a dime and that's about it.
5. Nope and nope.

Nothing new yet, Bojan. I'll send you an email when it's safe for you to return.

Cool, thanks Lex. :)

was it worth leaving?

Convoys are teh awesome now, they drop pretty much everything (capships aren't in the convoys yet, they're buggy). The expanding hive is in Sedina, Odia, and Latos, and it will soon be released in Itani and Serco space.

@upper case: It was worth leaving.
I was getting immensely bored with swampy and stagnant VO.
Now im not bored and am again midly interested in VO progress.
If devs manage to put up a decent update in the near future I might come back sooner then I thought.

I think Bojan missed the joke - I don't have his email.

Michael has a lot of neat new deliverator / convoy / hive stuff, but a lot of back-end stuff is being debugged right now. We've run into some recent stability problems that have hampered things a little.

I'm making new missions, but not at a prodigious rate. We've given people access to the mission editor, too, which is pretty cool.

A new capship feature should be out tonight.

New capship feature?? You can't leave us hanging on that!

Actually he can, watch him, he's doing it right now. Looks easy, doesn't it?
Nov 09, 2006 upper case link
damn you incarnate for teasing us like that!

Get it through your head, Bojan, Corvus will never sell Valks or Proms!

We got more annoying storms, though.

Hell yes...
Everyone bemoans the lack of content. Fine, but the devs are working on that. (And as others have detailed, adding content steadily.) The second major complaint is lack of players, with people making the (ridiculous) statement, "I'll be back when there're more players."

Get your ass in game so I can shoot it off. ;)
