Since the feedback on my creation of the newbie help/forum site haven't been that positive in-game. I've decided to check for the need of such help forum, one last time here at the boards... It seems like a good idea when looking at newbies, and their need for getting-started info.

Should i put the effort into the making of this n00b help forum?

i think it's a great idia the newbie help site...:)

i got loads of help from you.....and if the help was available on the web, not only in game it would be alot of help...

i think you should put there:

1) andvantage and diss-advantage of the ships...

2) trade roots....the good and bad about each on...

3) wepons good and bad..

4) give idia's for wepons set....like 3-sunflate (and write a good ship)...

that's what i can think of at the moment...chears ;)

AHHHH, my eyes!!!! Let me run your post through a human spell checker.

>i think it's a great idia the newbie help site...:)

I think it's a great idea that you're making a newbie help side. :)

I got loads of help from you. If that that help was available on the web also, it would help newbies a lot.

>i think you should put there:

>1) andvantage and diss-advantage of the ships...

The advantages and disadvantages of the ships.

>2) trade roots....the good and bad about each on...

Trade routes, including the good and bad parts of each.

>3) wepons good and bad..

The advantages and disadvantages of weapons.

>4) give idia's for wepons set....like 3-sunflate (and write a good ship)...

And suggestions for weapon groupings, including what ship they would be used on.

>that's what i can think of at the moment...chears ;)

>fistandantilus

That's what I can think of at the moment. Cheers! :)

LMAO

Yep - I could *really* use an spell checker too sometimes =D

Thanks - I've decided to give it a shot, and will announce the adress a little later today...
It'll start out basic - Newbie help only - but a messageboard for game-related msgs and suggestions will be added (hopefully) this night (localtime denmark), plus I'm taking your suggestions into considerations - good input fistandantilus - nice translation Arolte ;)

"Through common help and sharing info - the world will rise"
- It's a little foggy to me who might have said that =D

I think that's a great idea!
My suggestion:
Info (and screenshots) on how to get to the various "secrets" eg. :
Sectors 14-18
Sector 10 station, ect.

LA!

/me thinks that too fist =)

I have small cry for HELP!!!
*Really* need help on a title banner, I really suck at webgfx...
It just have to be a simple 700x100 gif or jpeg,
pointing out something like vendetta, newbie help, guildsoftware, aaarrrrrgggggdon't know....

I really have a problem here, can't present what i've made =/
Jun 13, 2003 BusMasteR link
Hmmm... okey, here's what i have *for now*. It's under heavy and constant construction...

Before anyone goes there i'll have to mention that i'm developing the message board right this moment, so it's ofcause not online -
further all changes will be made online, which ofcause will cause it to be a little unstable - i'll be "playing" around there =)

*It doesn't contain anything of interest to even little experienced players - Yet*

http://praetorians.shacknet.nu/vendetta

For now:
*real* newbie getting started guide...

planned:
Community Message board (soon online)
Uncharted Sector Guide (Yes, with screenshots =)
Ship/Equipment Info
+ loads more (if it catches) =D
Jun 15, 2003 BusMasteR link
Uncharted Sector Guide (with screenshots =), have been started.

Sectors 14 and 15 have been added, more to follow. Check the "Game Related"

I've just discovered that dyndns.org might have some problems updating their servers so here's a direct address the the site:

http://64.107.93.115/vendetta

I'd every much like if someone would throw a message here, if the other address (praetorians.shacknet.nu/vendetta).

Well, this was originally going to be secret, but forget about that. Here's my Vendetta Field Guide if it'll be any help:

AAAGH!!! MY EYES!!! Ummm... Rogue... A standard background color would be nice... It's especially awful behind URLs... Nice manual, though!
Jun 15, 2003 BusMasteR link
Short Sector 18 Guide just added...

pls give me feedback...

EDIT: and i know it's not the best job done, but i need input to make it better =)
Jun 15, 2003 roguelazer link
The color is a very dark green over here, I think your screen is just broken. :D I wanted camoflage colors, but it was too much work. I'll add 'em later.
Jun 15, 2003 Suicidal Lemming link
Thats an olive color, a dark text on dark background is NOT good, make it dark enough to flip the text to the other side of the shadeing spectrum or make the background lighter.

Also, i'm not a huge fan of olive colors.
Jun 16, 2003 lunitary link
man, my eyes hurt....*blink*

roguelazer, make it much darker for the meen while, MUCH, and if you want to make a change, nice.....but the coloring is not good for the eye....the problem is only with the links in the first page....it's only the first page that is'nt all good with the color....

simple index, i like it...:)
