Ok let me start off by making sure every one knows this isn't a complaint the game is great and only getting better! However there seem to be several features that haven't been explained online yet. This should stay incredibly low priority but wondered if any of the players could explain them to me. First what exactly is the hive? Saw it mentioned in the in progress but haven't heard of it before I always thought the bots were just rouge UIT mining bots is there something more going on?

Second how does the bounty system work? For example how do you become a bounty hunter? Thanks and keep up the great work devs!!

"the hive" is not a thing per se; it describes the way bots work. bots are produced by a "hive queen", a large bot that hides somewhere in each sector, guarded by other bots. she produces collectors, transports, assaults, guardians, and observers and sends them out to madly mine the asteroids, because she is insane. when the collectors are full of mined ore, they head back towards her and feed her insatiable appetite for ore.

as for bounties, in the capitol sectors of each nation there sits an official (a marshal, i think) whom you can message. if you're of sufficiently high level to become a bounty hunter, he will offer you a job.

For the nth time, rouge != rogue

Yeah, rougelazer's right. ;-)

There's a few loading screen tips that give info about the Hive & Hive Queens. If your loading screen usually flashes by too quickly for you to read them (mine does), you can see them here: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/1/8678 (they're a ways down the page).

Thanks guys that clears everything up!
