Yeah I saw that a few days ago. Damn cool if you ask me.
So ... who's making the Vendetta one?
I can't wait to draw a Valk and 3 Flair's in the first hand!

I'm making the "Total Conversion" if that's what you mean.
Current status:
Flyable
Characters:
-Four Character Types
-Beta Tester (only for the testing phase of the plugin) starts in an EC-88 and has some starting cash to begin testing outfits. starts on an even keel with every nation standing-wise. (sector 1,2,or 3 origin; will likely become sector 0)
-Itani starts in an EC-88 and has appropriate standings, and no cash. (sector 1 origin)
-Serco starts in an EC-88 and has appropriate standings, and no cash. (sector 2 origin)
-NT starts in an EC-88 and has appropriate standings, and no cash. (sector 3 origin)
Dudes:
-These work, but "traders" are not implemented *and working* in all sectors (sector 1 only at the moment)
Fleets:
-flët resc's exist for Itani, Serco, NT defbot fleets, and are already assigned to their respective sectors.
-flët resc's also exist for drone fleets that fly around in the sectors that have drones.
Govts:
-Eight governments (itani, serco, NT, TPG, independent, drone, furie, Devs)
-proper enemy/ally stats have been assigned, as well as laws. ex: Devs will like you until you're about -1000, only dropping if you kill them (at -1 point per kill). You start at 32767 standing with the devs, so it's hard to get hated by them. *grins at the devs*
Missions:
-mïsn resc's exist (3 of them), in the form of basic combat missions personalized for each nation.
Outfits
-oütf resc's are working wonderfully. A little more tweaking and they'll be just right.
Personalities:
-përs resc's exist. currently only two are in action (Phoenix and Icarus), but they are working to satisfaction.
Ships:
-shïp resc's complete except for Battle Cruiser/Frigate, still deciding on whether to use Aurora Cruiser or Kestrel for said ship.
-Ships have shields, for one reason only: so you can do damage to them.
-shäns have been borrowed from EVN, as have the other visual resources. Ships have been assigned based on similarity; therefore, Pol. Striker==Valkyrie, Valkyrie==Centaur, Aur. Firebird==Vulture/Defbot, etc.
Stations and Systems
-spöb and sÿst resc's exist such that there is only the 13 sectors from before the hidden sectors were revealed to us.
-not all stations have landing descriptions.
-all stations have mission computers, trade centers, shipyards, and outfitters.
-all stations have spïn resc's as well as landing pictures.
-"regular" sectors will be linked by hyperlinks (normal jumping) and hidden sectors will be found by wormholes (at the moment this is true, but this could change if I take the time to change it)
-stations give no tribute (i doubt you would get to the point where you could actually take control of a station in this scenario, but hey, good luck to ya)
-stations have no defense fleets
Current Known Bugs:
-Drones I and II refuse to appear as anything than black space in the game, making them not only invisible but invincible during combat missions.
-More than one Defbot fleet has been known to fly into a sector.
-Defbots do not show up in sectors 2,3,6, or 12 even though they are listed in the düde/flët list.
-Some weapons refuse to fire, even though they have graphics data selected.
-Neutral Marauder refuses to be sold in Refuge Station (Sector 3) and Profit Station (Sector 6)
-Nova Data Files "Nova Data 2" and "Nova Data 6" must be removed from the nova files folder before playing; otherwise the normal EVN universe interacts with the plug. (It still does. I'm working on copying/moving everything I can to the plug so I can remove the culprits from the folder)
-Pë:rs resc's are not hostile enough when set to the max hostility level when it is required of them.
-Battery recharge rates need to be tweaked (all of the batteries give a infinite boost.
-An outfit for "Arcade Mode" will be added.
Current testers: toshiro, Lemming, Eldrad
Please note I will not be able to send any copies out until sunday at the earliest. I have been having trouble with my internet access at my mother's house (where I have been working on this plugin almost nonstop, forsaking my long overdue AP Chemistry homework) My internet cut out 2 days ago at about 2 in the morning, and hasn't been back since. Strangely enough, the rest of the house has internet, the tivo in my room has access to the router (wirelessly), and my computer is picking up the router's wirless signal. I'm hoping it's just that I need a new DNS, but i'm gonna be REAL pissed if I need a new airport card.
(so if you guys could give me a few dns servers to try and/or suggestions on what to do, it would be appreciated)

Invalid IP address? I dunno... Anywho, sounds fun! I'd offer to beta test, if I weren't way too engrossed in FF XI (level 18! Subjob time! W000!)... ^_^
Wonder if Vendetta's map will ever resemble the one in the advert?
If you would like to be a përs in this TC, please list the following stats:
Callsign (the name that will show up)
Subtitle (text that goes under your name, a guild tag or something?)
Nation (Itani/Serco/NT) If you're a Guide/Dev, you'll be put into the Dev nation
Ship (Select only from the ships available to players)
Weapon layout (again, only weapons available to players)
Aggression Level (0 to 3, 0 being least aggressive)
Holds Grudges (Yes/No)
Player Type (Trader, Botter*, Pirate, Hero*)
Location (give a list of sectors, hidden and not from 1 to 46)
Hail quotes (I'd like 10, if possible)
*I will attempt to add this type of player, we will see how it turns out.

Oh, w00t. I'll get you a list by tomorrow. ^_^
Actually, if you want, I'll do some beta testing for you. Beta testing is always fun... :P
Oh yeah, Verd, what about quotes for periodic transmissions, like what the pers ships in EVN do?

Somebody help me think of a subtitle and some more quotes... ~.~
Verd, is it possible to make me automatically defend people who are under attack by someone in bad standing with me? Also, is it possible to have me be in the Vulture when botting, and the Ragnarok or Centaur at all other times (preferably the Ragnarok)?

Yeah, there's a check box for "holds grudges" For those of you who give multiple ship setups, i'll make one pers resource per setup.
... I should have asked for nation, shouldn't I?
I edited the data requirements.

I'll take NT, I guess. Anywho, need another tester? ^_^
Of course.
Yay. :P
For the testing version, would you mind adding in some missions like "take off and land for x creds" or "take off and land for +x to y's faction standing"? It'd make it a bit easier...

First, Before I list ways to Make Money...
I apologize for hijacking your thread, Pyro.
You can:
-trade for money (I have currently given every station a random assortment of trade stuff prices. let it be known that the best prices exist for the traders.) two jünks exist, however only one of them has both a high and low sell point. you can figure it out.
-use the special "Beta tester" chär -- it has 1.00M credits to start with.
-edit the Beta tester chär resource to start with more money; it will not be in existance in the final version.
-land and take off with the "Passenger" and "Delivery" missions that somehow are *still* *futzing* *THERE!*
