/me hurries out to look at station

I think the color is better, seems more ethereal. I'm sure it will be much more so with detail textures, illumination maps and lights.

So any chances for capships anytime soon ?

So aside from making your new roid a new color, this update means jack shit to those of us not on Android?

Typical.

I've been out of town all week. We weren't planning to release at all.

PoL: Yes.

It means a great deal more than that. Remember the countless posts about Guild needing to advertise, and Guild needs to get new players? Now VO is featured in a national TV ad in heavy rotation and was first in the door for a new platform. Guild is wise to make sure that people who come in via that route have as good an experience with the interface as we do with the regular interface. This is a chance of a lifetime and they are making all the right moves.

It's lecter, he's a tool in perpetual teen angst puberty. I find it odd you even still address anything he says.

I liked the "red" version more - more menacing. Though I suppose it probably isn't supposed to look menacing, as it's a factory, not a slave pit (then again, secret unmarked greyspace factories and slave pits are not mutually exclusive by any means....)

Well, you're half right.

Incarnate, can you make the new stations iridescent? That would be sweet.

Is there an influx of new Android users? Have lots of the new tegra devices been sold? How many are playing Vendetta during peak periods?

[[[Is there an influx of new Android users? Have lots of the new tegra devices been sold? How many are playing Vendetta during peak periods?]]]

I join the question.

Is the android version helping you get a better income ?

New stations need to be RAINBOWS. SPACE RAINBOWS.

PoL/mission: Yes, the android version has helped tremendously, in one way or another. We're up about 25% in subscriptions, and seeing a strong influx of new users on Android.. and many of the "big" new Android devices haven't even shipped yet. Some of our cooler Android-related opportunities haven't launched yet either (the TV ad was obviously a big one, but we have other things in the works as well). Overall, the Android presence has given us a whole plethora of very cool opportunities for the game, which will hopefully continue over the coming year.

We're a unique, graphically-intensive, online-game experience on a platform that is starved for content and has every consumer-electronics company in the world (sans-Apple) building for it. That makes for some pretty cool opportunities, the TV-ad just being the first.

Inc. Do not forget to mention the new PC subscribers because of the adverts side effects :)

Haha, so Inc, do the rising number of subscribers mean a server upgrade at some point, then a new employee? At least temp/part-time? Maybe the server upgrade isn't needed, but another employee would receive much love from the community =D
