Im a noob and my first impression are good:
I have just started to play Vendetta™ as part of beta testing, and my first impressions are certainly mixed. My background is eager but novice MMORPG player, I have played both E&B and Eve and like them both in different ways. I tend to play a couple of hours a night and then not for weeks so I never become more than a background player.
My first impression on starting is that the games appearance has some ways to go, whilst all the important information is visible it looks “clunky” and doesn’t have the crisp look other games have. I know this is still a beta but at sometime it wont be and first impressions count and if this wasn’t a beta I doubt I would have so forgiving.
Flying is a blast though. It takes some getting used to and I died many times in the first few hours before I found the noob drones. Flying is not too hard to get to grips with and more importantly its fun. The flight controls and HUD are clear and fairly intuitive. Aiming is great and this, above all, is what sets it apart from the “rest” of the games out there. This game would obviously not suit a locked flying formation.
Unfortunately the chat window and mission windows suck and I hope that this can be dealt with by people far more qualified than me (may I suggest though some static commands linked to group window, like “assist” “cover”, “follow” or “target my target” may be in order).
What Im looking for in a game is more than just a PVP or bot killing space flight sim. At the moment trade is just a means to an end, to buy and equip ships and pay for licences, I have yet to experience any other content. I hope there is, or will be!!

all i want, in addition to my white dot and group health meter, is a blue or green box around their ships. so when they fly in front of you its them and not a kill stealler.
i wouldnt mind a way to call attention to yourself starfox style, got some guys on you. your group name and radar sig flashes for attention and you can help guard your wingman.

Merlark: It would be helpful if you put that in SUggestions. We're getting so many suggestions that it's hard to attend to them when they're out of the topic area.
V menu commands? Hmm, not a bad idea.
