Maybe there should be a mini Capship available to F2Ps (at 4/4/4/4/4) with not lot of cargo space (maybe 300 CU) and a decent shield (not as powerful as Subbed Capships) and 2 to 4 turrets so F2Ps get a chance to stand in front of Subbed players and the game should not be called P2W [I've read comments in many app stores that games P2W coz of Capships and at a certain point it's true coz no F2P ship (doesn't matter how skilled pilot is) can defeat a player in a Goli/Dent and this is a reason coz of which Many mobile players Quit VO and I hate it when this happens].I m calling this mini Capship coz it should be weaker than the Goli/Dent (all of us know why it should be weaker so I won't write it here)

VO is decidedly not P2W. It requires hours of grinding to get anything. The only thing you pay for is your subscription, much like other MMORPGs. The complaining I see from F2P pilots is that they want all the content for none of the price. That's just not how it works. If you like the game and you want a capship, you should contribute. End of story.

This has been discussed way too often already.
It's not going to happen.

Rejected puts it nice. We just need new pilots to stop feeling entitled to free games that you buy your skill through, which requires the market itself to change [which we all know ain't gonna happen]

Yes, we want to improve how new pilots perceive VO, but acquiescing to their demands will not help support the devs, and it will not help the game.

I can understand free games when they're a finished product that has been released in its entirety, with everyone on the design team being paid in full and profits realized. I can understand free games when they are fully subsidized by ads. Vendetta Online is neither of these.

Ok, here is my counter to the claim that no free to play ship can defeat a dent. I am deshielding a type M trident while piloting a Revenant Mk I armed with plasma Hx, Stingrays and Yellowjackets. I could use many different f2p loadouts to do the same thing, but this loadout was so silly that I couldn't resist it. Also Yellowjackets look good on video.

I agree with Rejected as well.

@We all float

the dent is just sitting there. U cant deshield an dent when the dent will backfire [u wont be able to stack missiles, if u try to stack when dent is shooting u, u'll die].

So in your logic not even subs would be able to deshield dents? Or do sub ships somehow have unlimited armor because it's all pay to win?

You are wrong.

I would get in front of the dent. Boom done. Done it before, and will do it again. Many times. The set up I used in that video allows me to deshield AND continue to damage the dent with plasma hx. The plasma hx has a rough range of 800m, So i'll be able to dodge turrets easier while continuing to hit the trident.

Just because YOU can't do this yet, doesn't mean those of us playing this game for a while can't do it now.

Another F2P setup i could have have used:

A two LP ship (Heavy Miner Moth{-/-/-/1/2}, Tunguska Marauder {-/-/-/-/2}, Centaur {1/-/3/4/-}, Centaur Mk II{2/-/4/4/-}, Ragnarok {4/-/1/-/-}) armed with sting rays and energy (you can do dual stingrays and charged cannon chainsaw with the rag. That will shred the trident). Easy Peasy done. Or how about any weapon (because F2P can equip any weapon in a conq station or latos M7). And swarms can be purchased by F2P pilots @ corvus stations.

So in closing: You are wrong.

My suggestion is: join a guild that likes to hunt player capital ships, and learn from them. You'll have fun, and you'll learn that F2P pilots are not as crippled as you say they are. You'll discover in time, the only real limitation in Vendetta Online is pilot skill. That fact alone is what makes this game so much better than the rest, and keeps the long time players coming back.

subbed players already pay so you can play, benefiting "abuse" of paid supporters even more does not sound like a good idea to me.

F2P no matter what licenses you have can acquire and use every weapon (except capital turrets obviously) on f2p ships.
There is a ship in m7 latos and a ship in edras g11. Which sell all weapons you don't htave access to normally.
As mentioned above there is ships able to take in capital ships.
Also, many.. MANY.. players offer friend keys. Two weeks to stock up, raise licenses, and buy literally every ship in game if you put your mind too it.
As mentioned by incarnate before I think and many veteran players f2p ships piloted by a skilled enough pilot can kill any veteran.
Most notably the ec107 (in my opinion one of the best combat ships in game) is available for players after 50 ec-89 kills. Which isn't even a hard thing to acquire.
