Some helpful visible updates and tweaks (including some requests from Suggestions), along with some really complex and significant developments "under the hood" in the game client, the benefits of which haven't become fully apparent yet.
These architectural changes will make a lot of the plans for next-generation gameplay more feasible; but to keep the game stable, each major change has to be rolled at one-at-a-time, on its own, well "in advance" of being used. That way we can quickly react to any unforeseen issues that didn't show up during internal testing.
Beyond this, there's also a new Pinned thread at the top of Suggestions giving some insight on the current "areas of development interest". Not a concrete plan or specific schedule, but some insight for those who are interested.
Similarly, there's a new Request For Comments thread on the Suggestions Forum, all about the "Future of Mining", discussing plans for a next-generation gameplay change for the process of prospecting and mining an updated, denser and more expanded galaxy.
That's all for now, have a great weekend everyone!

Vendetta Online 1.8.592-593 and Server Side
Server Side updates (Feb 4th):
- Four new custom-made missions.
- Fixed issue with Queens failing to spawn properly under certain conditions.
VO 1.8.593 (Feb 2nd):
- Ten new custom-made missions, available in branching trees.
- Initial, Android-only "early beta test" of locale support for Chinese (traditional), Chinese (simplified), Japanese, and Korean languages. This involves technically complex font rendering of more than 30,000 unique characters.
- Fixed issue causing players to not see their own remote capship in the sector list, when docked to a station in the same sector.
VO 1.8.592 (Jan 22nd):
- Ten new custom-made missions.
- Debugging to help resolve problems on MacOS.
- Further diagnostics and logging of internal issues.
Lots of work continues on Localization and other areas of the game. Certain types of font rendering are quite challenging, for specific languages, and there are a lot of technical considerations (like maintaining a low memory footprint). Getting this localization development out of the way is important, so we can work on tweaking the interface and content translation in parallel; as issues will crop up with word-length and interface sizing based on the way different languages are structured.
Beyond this, there's also some other interesting development happening in the background, which will hopefully be something we can announce before long. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Vendetta Online 1.8.590-591
VO 1.8.591 includes (Jan 14th):
- Ten all-new custom-made missions.
- Fixed Vulkan driver crash on Windows devices that have both Radeon and Nvidia GPUs.
- Fixed lighting artifact issue on MacOS OpenGL 4.
- New installs from the Mac App Store on Intel macs running MacOS Monterey or newer will default to the Vulkan (Metal) driver with 2 dynamic lights and shadows to reduce stutter. Requires Mac App Store update, pending Apple approval.
- Fixed issue with crashes on MacOS Monterey when installed from the Mac App Store. Requires Mac App Store update, pending Apple approval.
VO 1.8.590 included (Jan 7th):
- Ten new custom-made missions, branching out into different trees.
- Added capship 'jettison' command. It jettisons items from the cargo hold, aside from ships in the hangar. It can only be used when the owner is in the same sector as the capship.
- Fixed issue with being able to swipe too many times for the Ship Purchase tutorial on Android and iOS.
- Fixed issue with custom items, like trophies, becoming blank if dropped by a player's remote capship when it is destroyed.
- Fixed issue with the font size of accented letters being too small when using non-English languages.
VO 1.8.589 included (Dec 31st):
- Ten new custom missions.
- Added the ability to change turret loadout during flight, on capships.
- Swapping any turret would drop shields for five minutes, and any turret(s) being swapped would be disabled for five minutes from the time of respective swap engagement.
- If multiple turrets were being swapped (in succession), the shield-down-timer would reset to 5 minutes from the most recent turret swap.
- Turrets and shields are restored when docking to a station.
- Turret cannot be swapped if it causes grid usage to exceed available
grid power.
Challenges with MacOS Monterey have apparently been plaguing a lot of games, and ours is no exception. Please continue to report problems on the Bugs forum, and we'll track down or work-around issues as quickly as we can. It is notable that, for the most part, these are "platform" problems (OS and driver bugs), and not actually "game" problems, which can make it a challenge to even figure out why they're happening.. let alone fix them. But, we'll continue to do our best.
More fundamental game changes will likely re-appear after we get out from under all the unforeseen "platform-change" bug-fixing. Thanks everyone, have a great weekend.

Mission Change: "Safari Cruise"
We recently became aware of an exploit to the "Safari Cruise" mission that could yield an unusually large number of drops, when coordinating tactics across multiple accounts or players. The mission has been pulled offline for the moment, and the drops that were improperly obtained have been removed from player inventories.
To reiterate what I wrote earlier this year, on the previous exploit: If you find something that confers an obviously significant advantage and yields an unusually high value in drops or rewards, REPORT IT.
For one thing, anything Manufactured or gained via content generated from an Exploit is just going to be lost anyway, whenever we trace and remove the content; and that could include items traded to other players (much like the risks of buying stolen merchandise in the real world, we do not "refund" player trades on exploited game content; so be careful who you buy from, limit your trading to other responsible individuals).
Plus, anything other than reporting the problem just ends up hurting the game. It absorbs time for us to do log forensics, it derails carefully-scheduled development plans while we do "emergency analysis" of potential gameplay problems, etc. We have lost months of development time to exploits in the past, which obviously could have been used instead to make the game better, if the problem had simply been reported.
We *could* also have a game completely free of issues and exploits, but it would require us to also stop making gameplay improvements. So, if you want to see the game continue to get frequent additions and changes, then you need to be on board with reporting the inevitable problems. We don't have the benefit of a large Q/A team, we rely on our players to behave responsibly and report issues as they find them. It's part of the basic reality of an independent, actively-developed MMORPG.
Please keep that in mind.

- "Turbo" and "Stop" tutorial-arrows now vanish once the player touches the respective button.
- Fix for Strafe tutorial bug for older updating game installs where Roll was not bound to Tilt.
