I just wanted to make a list of things that I'd like to see in Vendetta Online.
-A cargo hold for you ship to store extra ammo or alternate weapons. I'd like to be able to be out in battle run out of missiles and be able to reload on the spot. Maybe an install time for the reload so that users will be more conservative with their heavy damage.
-A better new user start up ship...anything besides the Spaceballs bus :) When I tell friends about the game and then create them a character to try it out, the old spaceballs bus just doesn't look very impressive. Just a quick redesign would work.
-More reliance on other players. I understand that there's not enough players yet to "fully" implement this but if the base was there it would be great. Examples, different trades, different skills you could work on. Which leads me to my next want...
-Manufacturing and building- weapons, shields, batteries, anything. This always leads to a basic economy that can support itself.
-The planets seem to look more like a background than a part of the game. I'd like to see more interaction between the users and the planets. Maybe open some bases on the planets. Fly to the planet, enter the atmosphere, a bit more gravity maybe? Dock with a base and buy and sell.
-Item/Device slots for ships. Items or Devices you can equip that have certain effects. EG, faster battery recharge, turbo boost, deflect X% damage.
-A body so that I can get out at a space station and build certain items at a build terminal or trade with other players. I feel like it would give the characters a personality of their own and enhance the RPG experience drastically.
-Last but not least...better graphics. This is where I think the game is lacking the most. Seems like it needs more depth, less squareness, more smoothness. Lol, I'm far from a programmer ;)

I understand that some of the things I mentioned may not be wanted or may not even be possible but since you guys are letting me play this great game I figured I'd do my job and give you input. I see great potential in VO and I want to see it explode in popularity when released.

You just named 80% of the most commonly requested things for Vendetta Online. These've been requested time and time again for over a year. Unfortunately, many of these addons are just beyond the scope of a small (4-man) development team. I suspect that the smaller ones will eventually make it into the game, or at least we can hope.

The two you missed are:

-Capital Ships
-Headlights

8/10 isn't bad!

As far as graphics go, try playing around with the settings under the options menu, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I don't think that flying on planets or even landing on them is possible in Vendetta. Since all of them are non aero-dynamic plus they ships are fairly slow, they will fall like a rock.

Headlights...I didn't think aboutt hat one. I did have to adjust my gamma in the dark sectors to see the asteroids though.
Capitol ships wouldn't be a bad idea either.
With the graphics, I may try a new video card. I have my radeon 32ddr running the game at it's max settings. Everything is flat looking as far as the planets and such goes.
Landing on a planet shouldn't be that hard. If you're speaking of the realism of it. It doesn't necessarily have to have an earthlike atmosphere and/or gravity. Just making the ship handle a small bit different should suffice.
I love the way the game works and the potential it has but I've seen games with a far more vast amount of features fail. I want to see this one succeed but in my opinion in order to do that with only 4 devs...hmm. They've done excellent so far so probably another year of development and this game will be a blockbuster.
