Hi, I started the game today, and it looked awesome! Just one thing was weird...I had 1 million credits. I was able to buy every gun, battery, ship,... Is it supposed to be like that?

Hi! Welcome to Vendetta!

Here's what happened:

Before you shot a robot or sold any cargo (if you did) someone on your team must have captured a flag, netting you and all of your teammates one million credits. You apparently just got lucky on your timing, because players aren't capturing flags as often as they used to.

darkon,

this is a consequence of a team capping attempt.

capping = capping the flag "CTF". On a cappingmission, you will get harrassed by the homesector bots. And we can tell you, they are mean, really mean :(. Now, because your team made the effort of fetching the flag from one of the other nations homesectors "Itani = sector 1, Serco = sector 2, Neutral = sector 3" AND safely returning to their nations homesector and docking at the sation, the person capping receives 2 million and all other online nationmembers will receive 1 mill. Even if you didnt participate in the cap.

cheers

They should of lowerd the credit rewards down to 10,000 credirs instead of 1 million.

Tilt152, you have obviously never capped before. If you had, you would know that some people can spend several hundred thousand credits on trying to cap and then not capping at all. It takes team work and lots of it. If you do succeed you recieve a well deserved reward.
