Someday I'll go into Electronics Botique and see this:

:D

Anyone have other ideas for Vendetta retail boxes?

Too blue... Maybe make it kinda like the NWN box? I like the design of that...

Yes, waaaaay too blue, it needs more stuff on it saying "Look at me"

I think that a good boxshot would include the bg from Vendetta, the schematics of some ships. Overlaid on that could be a ship (preferably a bot so no one screams racism at the devs) coming in from the upper-right hand corner firing lasers. It would have the vendetta logo as its markings. I would draw this, but I can't draw.

Hey Rogue, how about drawing one up?

idea: I like how it looks genin, but hte background should be a battle sceen. Frigs shooting fighters and such

Hmm. I don't want to make the package too busy, because that makes the game look cheap. Would a ship pic centered on the box work?

To all you blue-haters: Racists!!! :P

You could pull a Blizzard and have 3 different boxes. Foreshadow of each of the nation's special ship.

jusst spewing things here, dont listen to me

Huh. That's a good idea! I'll do that when I get home tonight.

that would be coo... if you got a gold box you get gold's history, Red box reds hitory, Blue box blues history... All the historys would be available online of course.

Hmm!Either that or buy buy the Itani box to play an Itani character, the Serco box for Serco, etc.
May 31, 2003 roguelazer link
Nah... That doesn't allow enough freedom. What if you buy the box at BJ's, then when you get home you change your mind about the team? No return, nochange? sheepdog's idea is good, though.

It'll be iMacs selling at bestbuy all over again, they didn't sell because people wanted this color, not that color.

Make the box work like a lobster trap: you pick it up and your hand gets stuck inside until you buy it ;-)
