How about creating a character and be able to go thru the station and talk to people in the station, possibly having your our room. maybe in the future being able to land on planets, have land stations and having land vehicles, yeah i know its kinda getting out of the whole vendetta structure,but idk im just throwing ideas around.

Just to let you know, this has been suggested a bazillion times. To bring up the better points;

1: there are like, 4 devs working on VO right now. They can't do this complicated stuff in less then 3 years with just 4 people.
2. Er, yeah, suggestion huge stuff isn't exactly a good thing to do, seeing as the devs wont be able to put it in (a suggestion)

Welcome to VO :)

o well srry i didnt see the other "bazillion" threads about this, and i was just tryin to see if they could possibly work on it the future

More importantly, see THIS thread: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/7692

Look under "stations", but peruse the whole list to avoid replies like the one above.

Suggestions are ALWAYS appreciated, but be aware that that many have gone before you and have made the same suggestions.

...and they were all ridiculed, mocked and dragged into the mud for having failed to read the "read me first" link!

we'll spare you this time.

but this time only!

I'd like to walk around and see the inside of stations, but it shouldn't be too free-moving, i.e. like jetfighter 3. walking around is more menu-stylish...(go to hanger deck, bunk, etc.)

being free roaming may be interesting and nice to look at stars, ships outside the station...

"troll crossing"

I want to be able to walk through stations and have a room and visit bars and inspect the docks too. In fact when VO has over 1000 people online at a time and over 50 devs working for them I will start to expect such functionality. Until then...

As much as it would be cool to "go walkabout" on a station, I'd much much much much rather see the new "KOURIER" system up and working, and see the faction standing /friendly fire stuff fixed, and see the mission editor become fully fleshed-out and functional before any of the devs spend a spare second thinking about this.

In terms of priorities, I think it's safe to say that this is fairly near the bottom, just BARELY before "Landing on Planets" and "Making LeberMac Emperor of the Vendetta Galaxy."

i'd rather land on planets than walk around in stations

i'd rather play doom than walk on a planet station in a space sim game.

i'll be happy with ships. not boots.

and I'd rather be "Emperor of the Vendetta Galaxy"
But...
This thread is now off-topic and should definitely be locked before I can post again...

upper case said:

The point of walking in stations/planets would not be to shoot or kill things, but rather for social interaction. At the moment VO does not have avatars for characters. Some see it as a good thing, and some like the idea of being faceless, but in most graphical multiplayer games there is an avatar of some sort to represent the character, and IMO it would not hurt VO. Some day.

Some customization of the ships is all we need.
A decal, perhaps, or user-definable text on the side of it?

Here we go again...

(Yes, we want it, though. :P )

(Edit: Decals, that is.)

those are two different things: walking in stations and avatar.

the walking on ship, i've commented on already.

the avatar thing, dupe! :-)

If ya want an avatar for people to associate with your character(s), ask someone to draw you one (or do it yourself!). Here are some examples of avatars that a friend's sister drew for me and some friends of mine:

i think banana cream pie is much better than boston cream pie.. and that's good because i hate bananas.

so if no one else is going to stay on topic, neither shall i.

Feel free not to post if you have nothing relevant.
