is there trading, i like games where you can buy and sell things like in eve online, im dl the client atm and hoping trading is an option

You can buy from and sell to stations. You can also sell to players, though the system for that is really lacking (you have to jettison the item in space and have them pick it up).

But overall, VO has it all... GREAT combat, trade, piracy, mining, war... and guild (corps in EVE speak) whining and bitching (politics).

Enjoy.

Its exactly that that has made me look for another game thank you for reply.

VO is pretty great. Just keep in mind it was made by four guys, currently run by three and is slowly but surely getting the polish it needs.

Bit of advice. If you don't like whining, hook up with a pirate guild or EMS (space mechanics) or ORE (miners).

Look me up in game if ya need any help and you're not Itani.

if you don't like whining hook up with a pirate guild?!

have you not seen every word to come out of FAMy's mouth these days?

It' s a perpetual BS/whining stream

Welcome to VO 2shott

There are trading, prospecting, and manufacturing gameplay avenues with fairly epic combat. VO has that going for it at least. I've been around for over 8 years, CrazySpence a few months longer than me, and on the whole the community is one of VO's greatest assets. People are usually very helpful; if you have any questions feel free to ask over general chat. You may get a "read the tutorial!" or two, but generally most questions will be answered. We've been here a very long time by internet standards, and this is a deep game.

So ye bein' whinin' 'bout 'em stealin' yer job smurf hun? : )

The trading system between stations is indeed dynamic, so you need to be thoughtful about what you're hauling. Trading within nation space is probably safest, though not a complete guarantee of safety. The mining system is also more elaborate than it seems at first.
