Vendetta Online is a massively multiplayer game that permits thousands of players to interact as the pilots of spaceships in a vast universe. Users may build their characters in any direction they desire, becoming rich captains of industry, military heroes, or outlaws. A fast-paced, realtime "twitch" style combat model gives intense action, coupled with the backdrop of RPG gameplay in a massive online galaxy. Three major player factions form a delicate balance of power, with several NPC sub-factions creating situations of economic struggle, political intrigue and conflict. The completely persistent universe and detailed storyline add to the depth of immersion, resulting in a unique online experience.

    GARY THRELFALL  Well, I've had a couple of cracks at Vendetta over the last few years.

    1. Why, if I have enough money, can I not buy what the hell I like ? Just like the real world.

    Why do I have to spend aeon's shooting robots and other people I have nothing particularly against, just to raise some arbitrary rating ?

    2. The same old same old, yup, the ones who HAVE spent their entire life getting a good enough rating to get a decent ship, sit around warp points shooting the weaker players, who then loose ratings that would help them get a better ship and have a chance of defending themselves.

    If you are going to do a space sim, look VERY CLOSELY at Elite, after all, you owe it EVERYTHING.

    Rant over.  (Version 1.8.22)

    RANDY12345  While I really like and enjoy this type of "space" game. Sometimes I just want to have a game to fly around and shoot down other spaceships. Not having to deal with all the politics of joining a group, clan, race, etc. is all I want to do sometimes. And buy improvements/enhancements for my ship...

    Is there any type of "space" flying game like this anymore? Anything that will run on a 24" aluminum Imac?

    Thanks!   (Version 1.8.14)

    ELIJAHG0  Not quite sure if I'm missing something here, but I found it the most boring game I have ever played... And I play WoW 8 hours a day or more.  (Version 1.8.10)

    PIETRO CRISTOFOLI  4 people develop and run this game.

    Guild developers are not yet prepared for a proper launch, they are waiting for a more complete build.

    But their MMOFPS has absolutely no rough edges. The engine is rock solid, it runs on multiple platforms (the Mac version supports OpenGL multi-threading on multi-core CPUs and the framerate is incredibly steady on all OSes).

    Marvellous community. Give it a try.  (Version 1.7.47)
