My Suggestions
Hi all,
I'm pretty new to the game and forum although I've been into the space sim since Privateer. Anyways, features I like to see in this game are:
1. Trade routes and Escort missions
2. hiring AI or player Wingmen in bars
3. A full blown war front between at least 2 of the nations. Newbies can be involved by being recruited as cannon fodder. Sure you'll die quickly and alot, but newbies can be involved and immersed in the game quickly. Killing hive bots is ok but after a while it gets pretty boring and you really can't have a VENDETTA against bots. But if on a war front in a certain sector, you happen to run into a player on the opposing side and he is forced to kill you, since it's a war front, then you build up a competing history and rivalry and thus the Vendetta.
I'm sure these ideas have been brought up before and I'm just adding one more voice to the camp that really like to see more immersive role playing elements in the game.

Hi zno, and welcome to Vendetta! If you ever have any questions or need any help don't hesitate to ask on channel 100, people are normally very helpful. If you need a mentor, I go by the same name in game :).
1. Trade routes and Escort missions
Could you be a little more specific? We most certainly already have trade routes, trade missions, and a dynamic economy. We don't have escort "missions" proper yet, but there is an Itani and a Serco convoy that leaves several times a day from Sedina and Bractus which is often attacked and escorted by players and you get major standing bonuses for saving the cargo and bringing it to either nation. Join channel 201 and channel 202 for more info.
2. hiring AI or player Wingmen in bars
You must be an EV nova player :). I'd say to read this http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/7692 thread, but surprisingly, I couldn't find that suggestion on there. It has been suggested many, many times. Good suggestion though, I'd like to see this also.
3. A full blown war front between at least 2 of the nations. Newbies can be involved by being recruited as cannon fodder. Sure you'll die quickly and alot, but newbies can be involved and immersed in the game quickly.
There is currently a war between the Itani and the Serco going on at the Geira/Deneb border which you can participate in (unless you are UIT) by taking border patrol missions. These missions will eventually lead to capturable stations and systems. I think you need to be at least combat level 3 or 4 to participate in this.
Killing hive bots is ok but after a while it gets pretty boring and you really can't have a VENDETTA against bots.
I think you may be interested to read this: http://design.vendetta-online.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hive :)
bots will eventually be able to take over sectors, making it hard to trade and preventing players from mining ores which are needed to construct cap ships and stations. Botting will then become very, very crucial.
I would also encourage you to check out this player made Vendetta Wiki site:

It's got a lot of useful information and strategy guides for new players on it.
