ERIKHAGSTROM  If you're feeling interested, try it and see how you like it. I did and got hooked. Great atmosphere, tight and friendly community, extensive player/developer interaction and constant updates makes for an impressive game.

GARY THRELFALL  Well, I've had a couple of cracks at Vendetta over the last few years.

1. Why, if I have enough money, can I not buy what the hell I like ? Just like the real world.

Why do I have to spend aeon's shooting robots and other people I have nothing particularly against, just to raise some arbitrary rating ?

2. The same old same old, yup, the ones who HAVE spent their entire life getting a good enough rating to get a decent ship, sit around warp points shooting the weaker players, who then loose ratings that would help them get a better ship and have a chance of defending themselves.

If you are going to do a space sim, look VERY CLOSELY at Elite, after all, you owe it EVERYTHING.

Rant over.

RANDY12345  While I really like and enjoy this type of "space" game. Sometimes I just want to have a game to fly around and shoot down other spaceships. Not having to deal with all the politics of joining a group, clan, race, etc. is all I want to do sometimes. And buy improvements/enhancements for my ship...

Is there any type of "space" flying game like this anymore? Anything that will run on a 24" aluminum Imac?

Thanks!

ELIJAHG0  Not quite sure if I'm missing something here, but I found it the most boring game I have ever played... And I play WoW 8 hours a day or more.

PIETRO CRISTOFOLI  4 people develop and run this game.

Guild developers are not yet prepared for a proper launch, they are waiting for a more complete build.

But their MMOFPS has absolutely no rough edges. The engine is rock solid, it runs on multiple platforms (the Mac version supports OpenGL multi-threading on multi-core CPUs and the framerate is incredibly steady on all OSes).

Marvellous community. Give it a try.

BLACKOMEGA  I've always been a 'space' game fan from Elite on the BBC B to Frontier and Terminus on the Mac but untill now there hasnt been a multi player version.

This IS it. Elite for the 21st century not just mindless NPC's to fight against but other real live people. Constantly being updated with new ships, missions and just well... tons of stuff.

3 main races to choose from but dozens of factions and guilds to get involved with. Be a pirate, trader, hero or whatever you feel its a totally free universe.

Free for first 8 hours too see if you like it then for $10 a month it cant be beaten.

Link seems a little slow better to d/l from the site at

PLASTERPYRUS  Gotta join their club or something if you want to try out their game. I hate having to jump of hoops for something that really benifits them, like trying to sell me THEIR GAME!

PPS_FRAE@HOTMAIL.COM  I downloaded the game which looked like the best game ever in this site, but right when i click install the program opens and then quits unexpectedly, why why why? after the long time downloading it, and not being able to play...:[

ALREADYTAKEN  I've tried Vendetta a few times, it is a great game and deserves most of the praise it's getting here. But it still needs more content and variety to keep me coming back. The P2P dogfighting is fun but not worth $10 month. Which leads me to another gripe. With games like this one I'll often dip into them for a while, then go away then come back, it's about time developers developed another payment method! How about paying for time actually used instead of per month. Then you might see many many more people like myself who don't want to commit to paying a monthly fee but who're prepared to pay to play.
