Vendetta Online 1.8.84.2

Vendetta Online 1.8.84.2 is a great game that can provide a lot of recreation value. It is a MMORPG from Guild Software Inc. In this game, thousands of people can play together, at the same time, in a single, persistent universe. Players take the form of spaceship pilots within this universe, flying to and fro between space stations and other locations in the galaxy. All combat within the game is fully realtime, based entirely on "twitch" skill (no "virtual dice rolling"). You directly pilot and fly your own ship, you are not a back-seat "navigator". Players may fight one another, or against Non-Player Characters (NPCs), even participating in massive border battles between nations or helping eradicate the vicious Hive. The thriving and complex economy of the galaxy makes many opportunities for traders, miners and smugglers alike.

As pilots in the Vendetta universe, the progression of the player's character is up to each individual. The starting Nation affiliation gives the player certain benefits and liabilities that fit the particular culture of that Nation, but this merely serves as a starting point for the character. If the user wishes to be a peaceful trader, military pilot, guard for hire, dastardly pirate, or whatever the player imagines, this is all up to the behaviour and play style of the user.

Character progression takes place in the form of a variety of skills and other attributes, any combination of which can potentially open up new gameplay content (missions, ships, equipment, trade items, etc). General activity related to a skill can increase it (trading can increase the Commerce skill, etc), but taking on missions will generally increase skills that much faster.

The ships themselves are highly customizable, with various different designs and addon modules making possible a wide range of equipment loadouts. In addition, users may configure the color of their individual craft. Various types of ships are specifically suited to a particular task (such as combat or trading), while others prove more flexible, depending on how they are configured by the pilot.

Major Features:

1. Every day. Ideas posted by users to Suggestions Forum are known to show up in the production game in as little as a few days. This level of communication and feedback is extremely uncommon in the online game industry.
2. Patches and expansions are released weekly. The game is constantly in development, but remains one of the most stable in the industry, despite maintaining native clients on four different platforms. Patches are always free, no matter how great the change in the game.
3. For those who are interested, the publisher offers the Player Contribution Corps (PCC), a totally optional volunteer subset of userbase who has access to building missions and even submitting user interface code for use in the production game.
   
4. The team consists of multi-platform and open-source oriented developers. As a result, the game has arguably the best cross-platform support of any 3D MMO in existence. Vendetta Online is completely native on MacOS X, Linux/32, Linux/64, and of course Windows. "Native" means that each port is individually optimized for the platform in question.
   
5. The game runs on a wide variety of hardware. Combined with the "native" platform optimizations mentioned above, this enables many of Mac users to play on relatively modest hardware.
6. A fantastic community. Users are tend to be a friendly, helpful and engaging lot.
