I can't home in s3/s6

May 27, 2004 Ciuciu link
Hi.. Just as i said in topic, as itani pilot i can't home in s3/s6/s2/s12 (standing doesn't matter here). I click home button, recive the information that I'm now homed here, and after I die, i respawn in s11 or s13, or wherever I was homed before

It is my understanding that there is no homing in any home sectors other than your own no matter what your standing is.

1. Why is that?
2. If yes, why isn't the button (home here) disiabled?
3. Why there isn't any information that i can't home there?

1. So people can't ambush enemy nations? An enemy nation may become friendly with you over time, but I don't think they'd trust you enough to let you live in their stations. I mean c'mon, terrorism anyone?

2. Because that was something that was overlooked and the devs probably had other major features to implement rather than make artwork for greyed out buttons. The whole interface of Vendetta will get an overhaul eventually anyway.

3. Why are you surprised there isn't? I mean the test doesn't even have an official manual. Why would they suddenly write descriptions about factions if a lot of other stuff has yet to be completed?

Or here's one way to answer all three questions at once: Vendetta Test is not a complete game and contains an incomplete faction system, several balance issues, a few exploits, bugs, and lacks a complete interface.

Ciuciu, I heard there used to be a problem with enemy players homing in another nation's homesector (from earlier versions of vendetta). Perhaps the devs have decided to disable the homing feature because of this; your inability to home in another nation would simply be an artifact from when another nation's territory was forbidden.

It really is a major step forward that we're even allowed to *dock* in another nation's home sectors. Prior to the 3.4.0 update, even this would have been impossible. I can deal with homing in 11,10, or 7 if needs be. Only a short hop from there.

Hm. If you're able to enter the station, you're able to home there. I don't know why you're unable to home there, Ciuciu.

Ray, I am able to dock and even get the message that I have changed my home station when clicking on the home button, but will end up back in my nation home sector should I "die". This is my experience. Homing in stations other than nation sectors is not a problem.

So we are allowed to home in any station? Including enemy stations? (s1, s2, s3, s4, s6, s12?)
Edit: I meant, the devs made it so we can home in those stations... but it didn't work and now its a bug

Yeah, a while back in response to where you could kill your connectiopn in a sector and get killed to get yourself warped to the station fo teh sector you where in, and then people doing this in enemy homesectors and setting the home station, I remember that the devs made it so you can't set home in enemy home sectors. You guys may or may not have removed it, just an idea
