Vendetta Online
All the ships are tiny with different roles such as:
* Piracy * Trading * Missions * Minning(Astroroids with Lasers)
Originally by: Vendetta Manual
The Known Universe Thirty solar systems make up the world of Vendetta Online. These systems are connected by wormholes, through which all manner of space ships can travel.
Each solar system is divided by your nav computer into a 16x16 grid of sectors, which contain all the space you will explore. Asteroid chains, ice fields, space stations, and the wormholes that connect systems will appear depending on the sector you're in. Check your nav map for more detailed information before jumping. You can reference the Navigation Interface page for more information.
The Stations are just like in EVE too, Gigantic and they have a Concord type law enforcement.
Originally by: Vendetta Manual
Dueling Not all combat is unfriendly. If you'd like to challenge another player to a fight without worrying about angering the local law enforcement, you can issue a duel.
Oh and here is a Thread from a former EVE Player.

Edited by: IoWalker on 26/10/2010 23:50:58 Did they even say "minning" ?
Ed: After perusing your linked former-EVE player thread, is this pretty much trying to hype up a new 100% smartphone friendly MMORPG prototype?

Originally by: Vendetta Online
Mining Mining is a skill in Vendetta Online, which allows a player to extract various minerals and ores from asteroids and crystals in the universe. These ores can then be sold to stations for profit, or potentially used for other purposes. Minerals are extracted through the use of a Mining Beam, which is equipped exactly like a weapon. Mining Beams come in both Small and Large port sizes, but most are designed for Large Port usage. Once the Beam is equipped, you may leave the station and find an asteroid or crystal. Point your ship at it and select it using the lowercase "b" key. Once you close to within 100 meters of the selected object, you may press the fire button you have associated with the Mining Beam to begin mining. The beam will continue mining until you fly outside of mining range (100m) or press the fire button again to abort mining. A progress bar on your HUD displays the filled percentage of the current crate you are mining. If you abort mining in the midst of filling a crate, you lose however much you had mined into that crate. Only completed crates are retained in your hold after the mining beam is aborted.
Mining Heat - The act of mining heats up the object being mined. As the object increases in heat, it becomes less efficient to extract minerals or ores from the object. Larger objects heat more slowly than smaller ones, but also take longer to cool (days, even weeks). The heat of the object is displayed on the HUD after being selected. It is possible to continually mine any object, but the process of mining will become very slow. It is best to then find another object suitable for mining.
Mineral Scanning - A Mineral Scanner addon is also available, which can be equipped to display information on the contents of the individual asteroid or other object. Different objects can contain varied percentages of ores and minerals. Certain minerals are much more valuable on the open market, and are much rarer. The percentage of a given ore in an asteroid demonstrates the chance of mining that ore, assuming you have a generic Mining Beam. For instance, if an asteroid has 42% of ferric ore, and 58% of xithricite, you will have a 42% chance of receiving ferric ore in each individual crate you mine. These chances can be improved by purchasing a special Mining Beam that is tuned to a particular type of mineral or ore. Mineral and ore deposits are spread throughout the galaxy, and their locations are affected by a number of factors. The only way to find certain types of these resources is to explore, scanning various objects and noting their location (or asking other players what they have found).
Group Mining - Mining with friends is more efficient than mining alone. If you group with other players to mine a specific asteroid, your Mining Beams will operate In Phase and reduce the overall heating of the object, allowing you all to mine more quickly and effectively. Equipping multiple Mining Beams on a single ship also gives an efficiency benefit, but not as great as with multiple players.

I can imagine the supreme EVE board now:
"holy ****, this new game just does Farmville in *every* aspect of the game.. we need to go ahead with the Farmville-ing of every on this game to keep up. We still have the MMORPG legacy name, we need to transform NOW!!"

Regardless of the quality of VO, I think the message here is that there are a great number of (great?) games which compete for your time. After having been here for 7 years (yes, 7 years on OCT 28) I can say with confidence that the stellarness (see what I did there?) of EVE has suffered ever since the Dominion release and thus a bunch of folks are perfectly happy to look back at better times and just walk away to try something different. |

this is old news
back when i edited wikihow I made an article (this was like 2007) about running eve on linux. Someone advertised vendetta in it saying that "instead of sending your money to a company that doesn't care about their customers, play Vendetta online and help the linux community".

I see your quitting eve for vendetta thread and raise you a I'm quitting vedetta for eve thread.
Highlights include the developer blaming the players for bad changes they have made and this gem:
Originally by: unpocoloco So in conclusion, I hope that you will come to your senses before you finally kill the game that I used to love. In the mean time, I will be playing EVE Online or ANY other game that isn't constantly being screw up by the devs!
- It's not "Play through a pre-set story, become stronger, do endgame". Gameplay is open ended, and you make your own story. Unless you're too afraid of 'pvp grief' to do anything relevant |

The future of all MMO sphere: no more Big Boys, just small operations mostly with 25K to 100k subs, a few like EvE with 250-300k. WOW is the AOL of MMOs and will someday be looked back on as such.
The best part about this is that, driven by free markets, there will be a game for everybody.

Edited by: Shaalira D''arc on 27/10/2010 04:17:12 According to the website, the game is actually older than EVE Online, with a release date of 1998. Quick search of forums indicates that the game has an average of 50 players logged in.

I'm no going to bother then. Done a bit of research on it, does seem gash. FPS controls though!
Too many bloody games to play at the moment anyways.

Tried it a few years ago. Was kinda nice, but the interface in the stations didn't always make sense.
I'll probably try it again in a month or two.
