Wow, long time.

Wow, haven't been around too much in the last 6 months. In fact, around a year ago when I was still playing, it seemed as though Vendetta was on the edge of failure. Now I learn that the game is being published? Wow. I even see some of those who I used to play with a year or so ago.

Last time I was a true dedicated player:
1. The dynamic economy had just been put into effect
2. Capture the flag was a 1 man job in a vulk
3. Station 2 was dockable to everyone (I believe it was 2) and everyone littered it with lightning/prox mines in order to take out bots.
4. Advertisements were just implemented (Including a wide variety of other visual enhancements).
5. Nukes were disabled due to station "n00king" (What was his name? Kastin Thunderclaw <or what not> was hated for this... lol)
6. Accounts had yet to be reset and there were those running around with unthinkable amounts of money (Can I buy this sector?).
7. A 20 million bounty was normal.

That's about all I can think of at the moment. Hopefully some of the key elements have remained the same. At least now I have a better joystick to fly with :D

What is this CTF you speak of?

Welcome back!

Who are you? I was pretty active then, Im pretty sure I knew a good amount of people in-game.

Kastin ThunderClaw = Death to everyone who flew near s9 station :).

Spent about 20min looking for this:

No Kastin, but It seems like S9 is "new" in this screenshot.

n00k fest 24/7 :P, and whoever tried to invent "n00g", please come forward now :). (If anyone remembers "n00g")

Edit:

Who used the name "Evil (G)"?

What happened to half of this stuff?

Like advertising, nukes....sounds like some of it was pretty cool.

I went under the names Zifster/Ziffus/Zif and a few others.

The game has changed a lot in the last year. It's safe to say I'm lost while playing. What sector is now considered s9 (s9 being the hub back when there were 18/19 secotors)?

I wonder if there are hidden sectors still. One including the large, paper weight-like frigate which served no purpose last time I played.

Their really isn't a hub of the universe, one of the more well known sectors is Odia M-14. Hidden sectors are no longer here, but will be soon + 6 months.

let's see... advertisments are there. They are just written in Waylonics.

Nukes... those were called avalon torpedoes. They MAY be there still who knows. :) We just may not have anyone with the proper levels. Though I doubt it as nukes are mainly supposed to be for Cap ships.

Bounties were done by a third party program called Bounty Bot. It was feasable at that time because there were only 18 sectors. BB lived in S9. So we COULD do bounties again but... not very feasable.

hooray for nostalgia (that shot was actually for a bug report for a "part of hud disappears in linux" problem that I had)
