*** Vendetta 1.8.142

while the Prosus hive appears in the Itani region of space. Milanar
presence continues in grayspace.
- Each hive now drops unique Milanar, Prosus and Siepos Neural Nodule
items, which will factor into "manufacturing" driven gameplay down the
road. These nodules are easily destroyed in combat, and as a result are
only a 1-in-10 chance of dropping from most hive members. Only the
Leviathan, with its larger neural array, is guaranteed to drop some
nodules.. but not very many.
- Fixed hive problem relating to NPC mining ships attacking instead of
mining.
- Fixed hive issue with bots not respawning in the Milanar hives.

- Fixed a bug with the framerate limiter on unix-based platforms.
*** Vendetta 1.8.140
- Gray hive is now called the Milanar Hive, and is made entirely of
specially named bots, including a new type of Collector. Many other
changes will follow soon, with Siepos and Prosus hives appearing in
Serco and Itani territory respectively. Different hives will have unique
looks, drops, behaviours, etc. All will play into the Manufacturing
(crafting) system.
- Client now includes a framerate limiter, under Options, Graphics. This
can be set to a desired FPS, such as 60, to help newer hardware
run cooler. It currently defaults to 0 (unlimited). The defaults will
probably change to 120 once we know the feature works well.
*** Vendetta 1.8.139.1
- Fixed problem with chat not being visible while warping/jumping
between sectors.
*** Vendetta 1.8.139
- Increased detail and efficiency of some station textures.
- Many other small changes and updates to support the android version.
*** Vendetta 1.8.138
- Serco Vulture Guardian turbo drain reduced from 60 to 56.
- Classes for recently-added bot drops changed from "Special" to
"Commodity" to support normal trade behaviour.
- Synthetic Silksteel is now dropped by static hive bots (different bots
drop more/less often).
- New Manufacturing Mission for Latos Conquerable Station: Fused
Composite Plating.
- New Manufacturing Mission for Pelatus Conquerable Station: Fluid
Formable Silksteel Alloy.
The direction for these, and other new missions will become clear in the
near future, if it isn't already obvious from their in-station mission
descriptions.
*** Vendetta 1.8.137
- Eight new PCC missions.
New drops from Hive bots:
- Synthetic Silksteel (most hive ships)
- Cybernetics Grade FF (mostly Guardians, Leviathan)
- Hive Nanite Replicator (mostly Collectors, Assaults, Leviathan)
Many more diverse drops coming, tying
into crafting and other areas.
*** Vendetta 1.8.136
- New Manufacturing Mission for the Neutron MkIII Turret
- New Manufacturing Mission for the Aeolus Light Repair Turret
- New Manufacturing Mission for the FireCracker Turret
(Missions located only in Conquerable Stations)

- Fixed names of locations of inventory items in the sorted inventory
list.
*** Vendetta 1.8.135
- Added ability to sort inventory list by item type.
- Conquerable station guards now cause tempKOS if they are shot by a
key holder.
- Conquerable station turrets need to be damaged down to 80% before a
notification goes out to key holders.
- Conquerable station turrets now properly use the IFF status of User
Keys when the key's IFF status changes.
*** Vendetta 1.8.134
- Players are tagged as tempKOS if they are a keyholder and they
damage a turret.
- TempKOS players are not allowed to dock to a conquerable station if
they have an access key.
- Keyholders of conquerable stations are notified of attack when a
turret drops below 90% health.
- Conquerable station turrets respawn at 10% health and gain 10% every
minute for 9 minutes.
- Conquerable turrets ignore IFF keys if the player is tempKOS.

available due to bugs.

been restored.

nation capitols.
- Holders of Owner Keys of stations get notified when a conquerable
station turret gets destroyed. The notification occurs no more
than once per hour.

- Fixed navpoint distance indicator flickering between distance and
the "Activate now" message and missile lock-on sound not working

*** Vendetta 1.8.128
- The +Shoot1/2/3 commands available to alias and plugins again.

- Linux32 version now requires at least a Pentium 3 and has additional
optimizations.
*** Vendetta 1.8.127.1

Changelog:
*** Vendetta 1.8.127
- Significant adjustments to most of the trade items in the game, in
specific regions. Many new lucrative routes opened up, both grayspace
and between major Nations. Some historically worthless items may now
command high values in certain locations. Route bounceback times also
drastically shorter in some regions, and price drop per item
significantly reduced in many cases. Changes will be ongoing, and some
routes may require a little time before they become apparent.
- Certain Bot processor cores (Orun, Dentek, Artemis, Guardian) are now
valued at Research stations.
- Removed ability to set ship acceleration from Lua (plugins, aliases).
Turbo triggering should still work (turbo-lock, etc). This change
occurred due to extensive forum complaints over a recent community-
created plugin. Depending on feedback, we may be able to come up with
an improved solution next week, but this appeared to be the best
option on short notice.
Changelog:
*** Vendetta 1.8.126
- Only those taking a given Border Skirmish mission may dock with that
mission's capital ships.
- If you destroy a player or NPC in Border Skirmish, your standing
with that side's faction will be reduced a small amount.
*** Vendetta 1.8.125
- Warthog TD substantially improved: armor, thrust, braking, turbo, etc.
Reduced cargo capacity and slightly increased turbo energy usage.
- Consumer Robotics, Civilian Textiles, and Personal Defense Systems
now command significantly higher peak prices and demand rates in Odia.
- Increased payment for participation in Deneb War. Per-k ill increased
from 1500c to 5000c, overall skirmish success bonus increased by 4X.
- Owner and User keys listed in your keychain now have an indicator to
show whether the key is associated with a station.
- Conquerable station turrets now recognize the new owners without
the sector needing to restart.
*** Vendetta 1.8.124
- Escort mission rewards are now reduced in proportion to how much
of the mission you spend docked.
- Nation-specific Constellations in War Convoys (also not swarm-happy)
- Significantly increased XP rewards for Guardians.
- Slightly increased XP rewards for Overseers.
*** Vendetta 1.8.123
- Increased Conquerable Station Turret Armor by 25% and Respawn time
by 50%.
- Fixed bug with guild creation that prevented 2 letter acronyms.
- Fixed lua error when muting Voice Chat of group members.
*** Vendetta 1.8.122
- New Friend Key promotion. You can send a key to a friend that they
can apply to a trial account to receive 2 free weeks of time. You
are given 1 additional key per month that you are subscribed up to a
total of 5 keys available to give out at a time. The keys are given
out through the client interface and is located in Your PDA under the
Comm tab. The new tab is labeled Friend Keys and shows all the keys
you've given out and whether each key was been redeemed. Once you send
a friend key, your friend will receive an email notification with the
actual key and instructions on how to use it.
Note: This has nothing to do with in-game station access keys.
- War Convoy bots now guard a spot on or near the wormhole, and should
target properly (just hated for now).
- War Convoy blockade locations for the Itani side have been changed
(Ukari A-10 w/ caps, B-5 w/o). Their numbers will also persist between
server restarts. Other improvements to come.
- Removed console debug message.
*** Vendetta 1.8.121
- War Convoys! New series of blockade convoys that are spawned daily
based on the win/loss ratio of respective nations in Deneb. The
convoys travel through greyspace to blockade their enemy's entrance
into greyspace.
- Hive Skirmish missions no longer show up in conquerable stations.
- Fixed sector note not being able to be cleared if opened via
Add Note shortcut.
- Plugin update: All PLAYER_ENTERED_SECTOR events should have
matching PLAYER_LEFT_SECTOR events.
*** Vendetta 1.8.120.2
- Fixed a plugin exploit for being able to see who's all in a fogged
sector even though they are outside of radar range.
*** Vendetta 1.8.120.1
- Fixes for incompatibilities with some plugins introduced in the
1.8.120 update.
*** Vendetta 1.8.120
- All station access keys have been deleted and Latos I-8 station
ownership has been reset.
- Two new conquerable stations added, in grayspace. Other features
will be appearing, making conquering and holding all three
stations a lucrative prospect. Where are they located? Explore
and find them!
- In statically fogged sectors, the sector list (the "u" menu) now
only shows users within radar range, allowing total concealment
through use of occlusion and fog. In non-fogged sectors and storm
sectors, old behaviour still applies.
- Friendly Fire restrictions have been removed from all but Nation
Capitol systems (Serco/Itani/UIT).
- Active Players list on website now displays Buddies Online for
your logged-in character, and graphs of player populations.
- Changed lua function SplitStationID() to SplitLocationID(). This
affects some plugins. A simple search and replace in the plugins
folder will fix the problem.

Serco and Itani territory respectively. Different hives will have unique
looks, drops, behaviours, etc. All will play into the Manufacturing
(crafting) system.

can be set to a desired FPS, such as 60, to help newer hardware

Changelog:
*** Vendetta 1.8.127
- Significant adjustments to most of the trade items in the game, in
specific regions. Many new lucrative routes opened up, both grayspace
and between major Nations. Some historically worthless items may now
command high values in certain locations. Route bounceback times also
drastically shorter in some regions, and price drop per item
significantly reduced in many cases. Changes will be ongoing, and some
routes may require a little time before they become apparent.
- Certain Bot processor cores (Orun, Dentek, Artemis, Guardian) are now
valued at Research stations.
- Removed ability to set ship acceleration from Lua (plugins, aliases).
Turbo triggering should still work (turbo-lock, etc). This change
occurred due to extensive forum complaints over a recent community-
created plugin. Depending on feedback, we may be able to come up with
an improved solution next week, but this appeared to be the best
option on short notice.
Changelog:
*** Vendetta 1.8.126
- Only those taking a given Border Skirmish mission may dock with that
mission's capital ships.
- If you destroy a player or NPC in Border Skirmish, your standing
with that side's faction will be reduced a small amount.
*** Vendetta 1.8.125
- Warthog TD substantially improved: armor, thrust, braking, turbo, etc.
Reduced cargo capacity and slightly increased turbo energy usage.
- Consumer Robotics, Civilian Textiles, and Personal Defense Systems
now command significantly higher peak prices and demand rates in Odia.
- Increased payment for participation in Deneb War. Per-k ill increased
from 1500c to 5000c, overall skirmish success bonus increased by 4X.
- Owner and User keys listed in your keychain now have an indicator to
show whether the key is associated with a station.
- Conquerable station turrets now recognize the new owners without
the sector needing to restart.

of the mission you spend docked.

by 50%.

- Fixed lua error when muting Voice Chat of group members.
*** Vendetta 1.8.122
- New Friend Key promotion. You can send a key to a friend that they
can apply to a trial account to receive 2 free weeks of time. You
are given 1 additional key per month that you are subscribed up to a
total of 5 keys available to give out at a time. The keys are given
out through the client interface and is located in Your PDA under the
Comm tab. The new tab is labeled Friend Keys and shows all the keys
you've given out and whether each key was been redeemed. Once you send
a friend key, your friend will receive an email notification with the
actual key and instructions on how to use it.
Note: This has nothing to do with in-game station access keys.
- War Convoy bots now guard a spot on or near the wormhole, and should
target properly (just hated for now).
- War Convoy blockade locations for the Itani side have been changed
(Ukari A-10 w/ caps, B-5 w/o). Their numbers will also persist between
server restarts. Other improvements to come.
- Removed console debug message.
*** Vendetta 1.8.121

into greyspace.

1.8.120 update.
*** Vendetta 1.8.120
- All station access keys have been deleted and Latos I-8 station
ownership has been reset.
- Two new conquerable stations added, in grayspace. Other features
will be appearing, making conquering and holding all three
stations a lucrative prospect. Where are they located? Explore
and find them!
- In statically fogged sectors, the sector list (the "u" menu) now
only shows users within radar range, allowing total concealment
through use of occlusion and fog. In non-fogged sectors and storm
sectors, old behaviour still applies.

Capitol systems (Serco/Itani/UIT).
- Active Players list on website now displays Buddies Online for
your logged-in character, and graphs of player populations.

affects some plugins. A simple search and replace in the plugins
folder will fix the problem.
