Piment, I play the game because it is the best multi player combat game in the world. (That will run on my computer, and run on linux). I love the community, and I love finding new ways to have fun in the game. Which is kind of hard, because almost everything has been done before. That doesn't make me a "toxic troll" or whatever other "not nice™" names you wish to call me.

No need to get mad. Instead get even. The name of the game is Vendetta Online. So now you have a vendetta.

Clearly all the -1s are from trolls who enjoy doing it for the mere drama and toxicity that it generates.

Clearly you forgot the real meaning of Vendetta Online - this is not farmville, sims, or candy crush.

Please stick to discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of the suggestion.

I use the ability to name moths so I can quickly choose the right one for loading or unloading on my capships.

Also, the since it's only 500k to replace your dent or Goliath, I think the added motivation to not lose your ship is fair.

If capship names are to be protected, then I say increase the insurance mission to 50,000,000 credits.

@Nyscersul

I would be happy to replace your name with one from my vast inventory of capship names.

A Small selection:

Path of Eo
Blaqk Pearl (and about 20 variations thereof)
The Pearl ( and several variations of )
PInkus of Shipus ( and several variants of)
Dreadnaught
Jeet Kune Do
FTV Peace Makes Plenty (IV V VI)

MSG me in game if you like any of these.

-1. We should be able to name any ship, not only Capships or turreted ships.

The problem is the requirement for ship names to be unique. There's no good reason for it. Remove it, and the problem goes away.

I’m pretty sure the reason it has to be unquie is do to how its tracked to the user and how assests are kept attached to it as it is from a coding stand point a miving station.

Yes, there is a reason for it. People get emotionally attached to their ship names, as Nyscersul is demonstrating so beautifully.

@piment
Let the trolls be.

You cancerous "Serco Domination Guardian." Thinking you're all cool and stuff.

Wash, you gotta steal:
Path Of Eo XIX
Dragon
Sex Dungeon

And could I have whatever nyscersuls ship was?

You guys miss the point. The guns and the ships and stuff are there for combat and for aggression or hostility - chat is there to say your piece, but the mechanisms inside the game ARE NOT MEANT FOR THIS KIND OF ABUSE. And it seems the devs agreed because your long line of ship names has now been removed.

You wonder why the community doesnt grow much when you guys treat people like this habitually. Its really quite dismaying you lot dont see the effect your behaviour has on player retention...

You moan about not having anyone to shoot in game cos it seems empty then you spend excessive amounts of time using tactics which in no way shape or form constitute fair combat with only the motivation of upsetting people and making them rage quit so they leave - and then there are less people around.

You should all get your heads out of your asses and recognise this trolling behaviour is gonna be the death of vo's growth.

[Please stop referring to players as assholes - even if you don't refer to them by name. I have been editing for you. -W]

Eventually there will just be a small group of toxic vets shooting each other all day long...

And, as someone asked - what happened was i was in combat and the game crashed - my trident never should have died anyways. But.. You obviously cant read cos i already explained that.

-1. Gives me something to fuel the "rage" (now,now,baby steps kiddos)

@nysercul

NO you missed the point. This game is constantly turned more care bear every day. There is no real set back for losing a ship other than buying it back and in the case of capships the replacement cost is a joke. We found a way to make it hurt to lose a capship and again more care bear "it's not fair" bs pops up.

Care bearing turns the game into a mindless move widgets game and it the best combat engine of any MMO. Care Bears are killing VO no those of us trying to make it fun.

Honestly of all the things that need to be changed in this game, this was on the bottom of my list. Imo your trident has its name until it dies. Now, hoarding names is pretty silly, so I guess I can agree with taking out moth and atlas names (which I didn't even know you could do), but in any case, seeing this updated so fast and other seemingly trivial things still being an issue kind of ticks me off.

overtly exploiting a bug does not make you in the right

Really Wally, you seem to fine with all the bugs TGFT exploits that don't get fixed.

I've lost names before, get over it or pay.

Also, everyone in this thread needs to look in a mirror, you are all guilty of what you describe.

Wash and I keep meaning to make a domain name squatter bot to sell the names back. This is just a interesting tactic that adds a different dimension to the game. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not a valid game play.

It was not intended functionality, it was an implementation oversight. It was not valid game play, and it has been removed.

Hey, if you want to contribute to other threads about increasing the insurance cost, or other ramifications to capital ship loss, be my guest. But don't try and excuse this stupid name-stealing crap as some kind of "nuanced game balance".. and spare me all the BS about how "the care bears are winning".

You were playing a different meta-game called "irritate and manipulate other people who play VO", as opposed to the actual game of VO. I don't have much empathy for those who delve into the meta-game, which seems to be often played out on the forums or through other dubious mechanics.
