hmmmm you'll need a hyperspace target plotter like in 'Frontier' so you can follow and or beat your target to its destination if you have a faster / ligter ship.

Thought of the day :- i wonder if Phoenix can get himself locked out of all 7680 sectors :\

well, maybe when someone warps next to you you can warp for almost nothing!

and you'd have some eng to attack and that other guy will still need to re-charge

since some people mentioned my favourite game, i will tell how it was addressed in elite elite.

you could not jump when near an object, ie enemy ship. other thing that you require fuel for large jumps between systems. of course if you are cheapo like me, you'd go to the star and just go around it using short jumps. sometimes i'd fuel near the star.

oh, sweet memories... and i think thargoids are necessary. just imagine fleeing from icarus just to be caught by furies in mid jump. WOOT!

If you can't warp near objects how the hell are strike teams and convoys supposed to work?

Fly quickly.

I assume it'd be an issue of tactics and technology. To keep you from crashing headlong into something, there'd be a safety, mandated by some shipbuilding industry oversight group. The pirate's trick would be finding a manufacturer (or modifier) unscrupulous enough to bypass those controls or modify their settings for you.

Brilliant, ctishman! Thanks for the tip. I will see to it that you get promoted by the leader of Serco personally.

/me gets his ship ready for one of twenty ship manufacturers across the galaxy

He already is a General...

I got 3 questions..

1. Will the flight system change or will it have the same freespace-style flight?

2. If there is going to be 30 players in a giant universe with only 7000 sectors, will there by NPC guys to shoot at as well?

3. Will there be the ability to add AI wingman to fly with a player?

Eventhough the combat system and the flight system doesn't look compelling compared to Jumpgate, it will still blow that game away. With 7680 sectors compared to Jumpgate with approx. 128 sectors, Vendettas universe would be 60 times larger than the other space flight game I used to play.

CHEERS! /me hopes the devs will get it sometime this week!

Ready and waiting to add content to the new map.

1: Yes
2: Yes
3: Maybe "Soon"

1. The flight system will stay the same within a solar system, but going between solar systems will require a new method of transportation.

2. Many.

3. One can only hope.

I bet you didn't really update the in progress page, but only say you did.

I'll bet 50c against you. :P

Any ETA on this?*

*Excluding "Soon"

I'm not gonna say it...

Between now and later.

I'm guessing a week and a half from now. Mid-June. That's at the earliest. Watch and see.

Patience.
