I've only been playing the game for 5 days... I wish I knew what you were talking about, so I could help. But I haven't seen any documentation for this. So I have no idea what to do.

as soon as my friggin DSL modem gets back (hopefully its sitting at home now waiting for me to get back from work)

You must be more convincing young yodaofborg. Your markmanship is outstanding and your pride in Serco is undeniable. But the answer to your problem lyes within your own words.

read th Vendetta backstory.

over.....here

What does the backstory have to do with actual real life people playing in Vendetta? There is nothing in the backstory that convinces me that UIT should side with Itani over the Serco. Don't forget that the backstory is written from the Itani perspective, so everything is written with a set of blinders that tilts all events in favor of the Itani.

[extreme frustration]Damn it! I'm going to write that Serco version of the backstory next chance I get.[/extreme frustration]

Well, a few days ago I'm delivering some nice xithrite to Serco space and what happens? Yodaofborg orders me to drop my cargo or die! Now, what type of greeting is that? Sheesh, here I am HELPING the Serco, and a Serco threatens my life? I swear, the GALL of some people! Threatens to atomise someone trying to help out, then complains that no one will help! I say all of UIT should ban together with the Itani and teach those arrogant Serco some humility! <G>

Kamui:
Stats from the webpage:
UIT Kamui 1 0 0 0 | 0 0 | 6 6

It looks like you killed a serco transport to deliver the cargo.
That is not helpfull.
Do not blame Serco to attack you if you kill Serco transports.

If the stats are not telling the true storry, explain that.

Well, of COURSE I killed a Serco transport for the cargo! Why, that old rust bucket would never have made the trip before some unscrupulous pirate took the ore! So, I simply took the ore to keep it safe. And safe it was! Delivered it safe and sound to a Serco base. But do I get any thanks for my selfless hard work? <sniffle>

Perhaps i was too harsh.
Hm.. as long as you deliver the cargo to serco stations...

I do not think, that gameplay was intended by the devs, but ... I think you are wellcome, Kamui. It is just that we never can know if the UIT are delivering the cargo to Itani or Serco. And there are a lot UIT lying about that.

I hope we can get over this topic and work in peace, Kamui

can i still shoot 'im tho? He's yellow....

it would be smarter to find a way to appeal to UIT players to help serco. All UIT start with +200 itani and 0 serco. Let your actions reap the consequences.

OOC:

I'm with Yoda and crippledpidgeon in that there needs to be more of a back story written to cover the Serco and UIT. This would go a long way towards player driven RP in the future, by serving as a plot reference.

Just a thought,

Cheers!

The Serco forced the UIT from their homeworld. The backstory supports such an action.

The official backstory is somewhat incomplete in regards to the UIT leaving Terra II. To account for the differences in the Itani account of Serco history, I will begin writing the Serco backstory as soon as my current writing assignments (for school) are completed.

Well UIT and Itani are close, I mean all the Itani that could not flee after the great war join the UIT. So in reality after a few hundred years the Itani and UIT have the same ancestors. The Serco on the other hand despised the UIT as they were "lesser" beings so did not inter breed with them.

Itani and UIT are blood

Serco are the blood enemy.

Itani forever!
Be Proud; Be Itani!

Durgia:
In the Backstory you can read, that serco only wins, because they throw thousands of thousands of people against the Itani.
Show me the thousands of Serco, and I will bow for Roleplaying.
There are only 7 Serco online? OK. But do not bring the Backstory as an Argument then.

Well I have been around a lot this week and Serco and Itani are not that far apart in numbers online. UIT has by far the most.

While Itani has slightly fewer people on line (usually between 5-10 more) Serco has almost 2x the amount of "vets" online. Maybe Eldrad makes up for the fact that Itani only have about a dozen vets left but I don't think so.

In balance of power it is farely equal except the Itani noobs can get a valk and Serco noobs can get a prom which takes 3x more training.

Just a friendly reminder to all three sides...the convoys are broken. They will be fixed.

exactly, before this week the serco were impossible to stop as they had a super convoy and itani had a retarded flipper "special" convoy, this week the itani one seems to be sane and the serco is crazy. im sure the devs will fix it or else *shakes fist*

yodaofborg, also note that Itani have done a better job at defending their transports than Serco have. 573 (582 now) vs 457, it's not just UIT.

I'm sure the devs won't give the Tach III to only one nation, until the convoys are no longer buggy. I'm also sure they are still buggy because I just spent 45 min following a Itani convoy flying in circles instead of jumping... it finally got into itani protected space but never made it to Divinia.
