Is it just me, or has vendetta been really quite lately? Along with the devs. I'm really wondering what they're doing. Guys are you ok? Maybe they're working on player controlled cap ships and other cool stuff like that. But honestly, vendetta had seemed to be very quite lately.

Quiet! Quiet!

Sorry, but that ranks up there with "turrents" as a pet peeve ;P

Them turrents had silencers on, so they was too quite for me to hear when I got shot.

Its them dam Secro turrents!

Anyway, howabout this:

"Thu 09:47PM incarnate
We're shooting for a tentative release on monday. But it's really tentative.. as we're doing a lot of wacky development that might not quite.. go right. But, that's the ballpark, if all goes well. It would hopefully feature the new AI underpinnings as well as some new capital ship features. "

Keep in mind that it is TENTATIVE ( http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=tentative ), and also that Monday often means early Tuesday, depending on your time zone.

Things have been quiet in part because of the ongoing ISP migration.. stuff. After moving our servers, we then needed to figure out how to keep connectivity at our office. Plus I'm spending a lot of time doing server tinkering to bring the whole wiki-design-doc thing online. Plus you should be seeing a release on Tuesday (tomorrow). I'll look at updating In Progress tonight.

I hope this new update has someting more to offer than nerfed ships....I remember seeing over 100 players online in Beta every day.....lately its been just in the 30's to 60's.....we need something more like the promised new worm holes....I Like this game but its getting boring, as the numbers show.

The numbers may just be showing that there haven't been any new reviews or promotions to bring in the merely curious. This is easily remedied when the time comes. Yes, Vendetta needs a lot more content before it's ready for "prime time". That's why there hasn't been any major campaign to get the word out.

New wormholes were discussed as an exploration expansion as time goes on. I'd like to see them too, but if they put in a few now...what then? They get found, it's a fun secret for a short time, and then we start pining for more content.

On the other hand, when they get multiplayer ships (like the cap ship) into the game, people will likely flock back in. I know that after a few dogfights, I look forward to kicking back and watching for blips while the pilot does all the work.

Hey where is my inprogress update huh? :D haha just kidding, take your time devs

I suppose the low number of players at the moment has something to do with Easter holidays, and the fact that some of us have to work for a living. I just logged on to see the number of active players(13:00 GMT), a total of 11 players (just one Serco!)

Help us Yodaofborg you are our only hope!
