Yeah, we are working on the problem.
I agree that the game is lame right now. It is supposed to have more missions and stuff for players to do.
It's kinda self-defeating. It is more fun with more players but the game isn't fun enough to keep the players in the game to be able to accumulate more players to make the game more fun. or something.

You mean theoretically, right? In practice we can't accumulate players because we can't recruit them. (No new accounts.) Of course, if any of us have any extra accounts lying around, we can always share those.

Yeah, theoretically.
We have over 5000 accounts but only like 1% are actually in use. Either these peoplep forgot about Vendetta or they found it boring and didn't continue playing. Reopening the game up would bring in a whole slew of people but what good would that do if they only stick around for a week?
We're trying to address the problem and we'll see what happens.

Ray, you are too hard on the game, it's great. I wouldn't have remained since the
days of Red, Green and Blue lasers if it wasn't. The problem is the leveling-up
process. Most of us cannot play more than a few hours a day (or night), and if all
we can do is work through the VERY tedious leveling-up process there is no fun.
This is especially frustrating when you finally achieve the next level and receive NO REWARD. This has happened to me several times. When it takes so long to do
something that you have forgotten when you started AND you get nothing for the effort....(profanities deleted)....there's nothing to do but shut down and have a beer. Hmmmmm....

*Edit* Why is this thread in "Mac OSX?"

Absolutely right. Even in the present state the game is very good. And an update coming today! [ today, right? ;-) ]

I do think that there ought to be something at every level. I was a bit downcast at my last leveling. Also it may happen that the new equipment may not be at the station one is at. Would it be possible to to announce what new equipment is now available in the congratulations message?
In another thread, it was suggested that all equipment be shown in the buy list, but grayed out if not present in that station. A very good idea, /me thinks.

and yes, this is becoming less and less Mac specific...

it was never Mac Specific.

Ray, any chance you can have a seperate universe up with infinite money, with the Universe from 3.2.x, and all the ships and weapons from 3.2.x... bah Just bring back 3.2! :P. Id pay for that ;). It was fun.
