New (non)Nation idea: Outsiders
Right now there are 3 nations, red-blue-yellow, and everything is pretty simmetrical, all nations are equal but the national ships, this difference being almost nothing with cheap black market.
I propose a new non nation player or "outsiders".
Outsiders ...
- Would have no national sector, since they have no nation. Couldn't cap too.
- Could dock at any station, including national ones, so they could trade at good benefit red widgets to blues, and so on. This could lead to a new economy, where some weapons (or any other desiderable thing) would be only done at a national sector, and a outsider could buy them and sell them to other nation home station to fill a limited stock at high prices, or even an auction. Nationals could have a scanner beam to see if an outsider carries national things and hunt him....
- Couldn't home at any national station, nor buy national ships but at the black market.
- Wouldn't have Team chat, since they have no team (nation). Instead, they could listen any national team chat but only in the sector where they are, and their team chat would be heard by everybody in his sector (would be a short of sector chat). So, an outsider could be a spy or a mercenary. He could go to a national sector, listen... and sell the information to other nation. Of course, since they have no team chat, they could be discovered and then hunted by their treachery ... No more need to "cheaters" changing nations.
- More ideas?

This is just about every players 1st or 2nd suggestion (mine included).
The designer has answered that eventually the concept of nations as we know them is going to radically change, so that it will be possible to drift from one nation to another or effectively become nationless. Presumably your starting nation is just that, a starting point, and while different races will have different starting advantages nothing will prevent a member of any nation from altering his career to anything else.

Man, they've been working on "Unaligned" for six freaking years now.

October 2009: Ok, ok! So nothing has changed at all on that front. But the faction redux is coming Soon(tm)!

People beg to know what the devs are up to, are told ( http://www.vendetta-online.com/h/news.html ) and then demand something else entirely.
This thread had died an unnatural death of off-topicness before. I'll go ahead and lock it up tight in its mausoleum.
