there's rumors of there being a sector 8 station. people have even claimed to be there. i've searched for it though and haven't been able to find anything.

First off, you know that when buying cargo in a station sometimes cargo from other stations come up (but are more expensive)? Well, I was in s7 once, and I bought cargo that said it was primarily made in s8. So there HAS to be a station in s8 because I was able to buy cargo that said it was from that system. I doubt it was a typo by the devs.
Now I just need to find it. I will pay 2,500,000 credits to anyone who tells me where it is and I successfully find it…

please don't make location of S8 station public knowledge, as you all know there are very few secrets left in current vendetta and I would like to keep at least one of them.
REMEMBER that people who were shown station in that sector had to swear they will not disclose the location of it to ANYONE. People who will tell others about it are risking having their account suspended and station moved somewhere else. It's not worth risking your reputation over something as little as 2 and a half caps.

the idea goes like this:
give the players the ability to use a very expencive virtual taxi/portal system so they can jump between sectors very quickly.
but before you all just and say how bad it is and that it will be exploited there are a few catches:
1)you wont be able to use it to the two sectors of the two other nations, so if you are nutral, you wont be able to use it to sectors 1,2,4 and 12.
2)you cant use it to get to the secret sectors 14-18 or just to sectors 17 and 18 since i dont know how meny ppl still go to 14 and 15...
3)you wont be able to use the taxi syster to get to a sector with out a station in it...or if the station is hidden (that is if there will be more hidden stations!!!)

yeah, i hate how hard it is to get to Sector 8 station, I hope no noob ever finds out about directions to it. It's bad enough when they go to 14 and get killed and start complaining.
remember, it will be expensive or it will be exploited by more expirenced players to jump from their home sector to a sector close to other nations and make a cap!!!
P.S: only the character will get to the station...not the ship or his cargo...other wise ppl will exploit to trade...it must be more expensive then the best trade rout or even a cap!!!
mabye 1.2mil for a jump.

If the ship and cargo don't go through there is no point in paying so much money for the warp.
i say not to make it a way of trading because then the traders will quit flying around the space and there will be no job for the pirates!! we need the pirates!! even if we dont like them.
they make us get better in the game, push us to improve!!!
it has to be some sort of an imergensy system for like protecting your flag or jumping to catch some one or help him.
now i said it should'nt give the ability to go to sectors where the stations are hidden if it is a big part of the game...now that we know it is, the hidden sectors should be amoung the restrictions i listed in the beggining.

Lunitary, I don't really understand what you are talking about. Please clarify in more readable form.
As for the s8 station, the people that were shown do not need to show us, but us relative n00bs can still explore can't we? It's part of the fun of the game.

i was talking to a1k0n in-game today. i asked him if the rumors about sector 8 station were true. the answer: "there is no station in 8."
Independence you have heard what you needed to hear.
I think it's an interesting idea, and may help later on when there are lots more sectors. I would make a few changes though.
1) You can use the taxi to leave any station (nation owned stations as well), but can only be taken to neutral stations.
2) Cost for the one way trip would be 20,000 credits multiplied by the distance traveled (by most efficient known space route.) Example: s14->s18 is 5 sectors, so 100K. But s15->s5 would go through known space, not s16, making it 80K to get there.
3) When used, the player leaves his/her ship at the start station. When at the destination station, the player must buy a new ship.
I could see traders taking the taxi out to s18 to get cargo, but after you end up paying for the taxi, cargo, and new ship, it may not net enough to justify it, especially if you don't survive the trip out.

what's that mean?
are you saying a1k0n lied to me? i've searched sector 8 and i didn't find anything. until i see some proof that there is a station in 8, i'll continue to debunk the rumors.
EDIT: and i'll add that i just talked to Incarnate in-game. he said there is no station in sector 8. he's the one who built sector 8.

Sage, the idea of the taxi system is not for traders.
it's an imergency system in my opiniot!
the idea is that people will use it to 'jump for the rescue' when a cap is made. it will make things that much more interesting in my opinion. it is also a new way of pirating, i know. that way pirates can have a scout looking for a good hunt, and then the big guys can jump to the sector, select the ship they want and kick ass...:(
but the trader can also call back up very quickly and if he made it to the station then he is safe...he can go to a deferent sector and take the ship he got in that sector later on...:)
it's sort of a back door. i think it should be more like 1mil for a jump because trading in vendetta is a simple thing (as we heard, you can make a mil in an hour or less if a cap is made sucessful) and if a nation desides to make a cap so they can jump to a sector 3 jump away, the other nation will have little of a warinning because they can come in huge forces in no time thanks for the team conversation and make a mil...
it must not be a profitable gadjet (i hope i spelled it right :) ) or it will be used constantly and ppl wont like it at all and say: "change it, make it more balanced!!!", so it's easier to solve it from up start!
and Independece: do you think that any one will tell you if there is a s8 station??? get real!!!!!
if they want to keep it a secret then they wont give you not a single peace of data about it!
it might be very well a lie, and it might be a way of one of those who share the secret to stimulate others to search in the knolege that it IS there, but they want you to do it on your one, not like with the so called secret sectors that every one know about.
cheers :)
