This is Vendetta version 1.1.5.

Changes from 1.1.4:

- Added bounty system
- Added marshal bot in capital sectors; /msg or hail the marshal
bot for more information.
- Added /hail command that hails the currently selected target.
Reload the default key settings to use this command or type in
these commands:

/alias hail "activatechattab 0; msg target%hailmsg" /bind "h" hail

The 'activatechattab 0;' part is optional. It just forces the
General Chat tab to activate.

- Channel 11 is now nation-restricted; you can only see chat from
members of your own nation. This is to temporarily fill in the
need for a proper nation chat mode.

- Fixed guild bug with trying to vote out someone who's not online
- Added bonuses for the prospecting accomplishment
- All HUD elements should resize properly now (except some
centered text)
- Fixed problems with mining certain objects
- Prospecting mission counts towards the system the mission was
taken, not where the mission was completed
- Fixed some crashes
- Added more accomplishments/medals
- Fixed /load failing to execute last line if there's no carriage
return
- Updated text sizes, changed font weights (not bold above a
certain size)
- Exploding near a player should no longer set temporary
Kill on Sight
- Added some new weapons for certain accomplishments
- Repair gun no longer gives no-fire-zone warning
- User-definable hail message located in Options->Controls->Input
(temporary location)
- Added some more accomplishments
- Fixed exploit in Advanced Combat mission where difficulty wasn't
increasing as level went up
- Fixed jerky station spin in Login menu

Darn, Rogue beat me by two mins. Stupid copy-paste. But I must repeat this part:

"- Channel 11 is now nation-restricted; you can only see chat from members of your own nation. This is to temporarily fill in the need for a proper nation chat mode."

Thank you Devs, that roxors.

/me kisses the devs shoes.

Great job! Its an update! Like all the hollidays combined in one! Plus, it happens "soon"!

But...

What is a marshal bot? What are acomplishments? What's the adv. combat update? (what does it do?)
Dec 08, 2004 doubled link
new weapons?
Prospecting Bonuses?
More accomplishments/medals?

Anyone have any info for those of us stuck at work?

a good patch. bounty system/marshal bot specs are as follows.

To become a bounty hunter you have to go to the capital station of one of the nations where you have a good reputation. You have to have levels 4/4/4/x/x.

msg the marshal bot and he will give you 3 options.
Local Laws
Bounties
Placing

msg him one of those words and he will give you more info.

the first time you type "bounties" you will be informed that to become a hunter you have to pay a 50,000 credit licensing fee. after you pay that you have to start the dialouge over again, which is kinda annoying. However you do get a little accomplishment at the bottom of your character info screen.

After that typing bounties will get you a list of people who have a bounty placed on them from that nation.

Placing a bounty costs 1 million credits.
You can only place a bounty on someone that nation is not friendly with. (i'm assuming 0 rep or less? maybe +200 or less?)

When you kill someone with a bounty and you are a registered bounty hunter, you collect the bounty, and a little news article appears about you in the appropriate nation.

Alright! Bounty system.

oh great, I need 4/4/4/-/-, and I have 1/1/0(about 1500xp)/1/0. Well, looks like this is going to take an eternity/1 or 2 months.

Thank you for the bounty details Spellcast, and grats on your kill :)

To the relatives of Shape: Sorry for your loss :)
Dec 08, 2004 Spellcast link
it should be noted here that shape and i fought to a draw. he let me finish him off so i could find out info about the bounties. I put the million credits back on him after i got the kill.

apparently he took some skill loss, an unspecified amount. devs some better documentation of that would be nice

Also when you have collected a bounty it puts a little note in your character info screen to the extent that "you have collected # bounties for $$$ credits.

So... it sounds like Shape can log in again? Or was this before his connection refused problem?

To answer smittens & doubled questions about accomplishments & the prospecting bonuses, players can complete certain accomplishments and receive medals which will appear on the Character Info screen. The prospecting bonuses refers to one such accomplishment: completing 120 prospecting missions. See this thread for more details: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/7807

AFAIK, prior to this patch there were only 3 accomplishment medals: Alpha Tester, Beta Tester, and the Prospecting missions (although as described in the other thread the prospecting didn't have much of a medal).

As I am also stuck at work & can't see the new patch, can anyone more fortunate than me see what the new accomplishments are?

Also, regarding the nation restricted Channel 11, are all nations on Channel 11? If so, you should update your Channels List, Roguelazer.

/me tells his boss he has a bad case of bountyhunteritis & needs to go home.
