Vendetta Online (3D Space MMO) - Space MMORPG features: immersive gameplay, trading, PvP battles, solo mode, mobile controller support.

Vendetta Online is a visually striking, cross-platform MMORPG game set in space that players can enjoy for free. In this game, players assume the role of spaceship pilots navigating through a vast online galaxy. They have the option to engage in various activities such as trading between stations to expand their empire, plundering traders brave enough to venture into lawless space, battling other players, or collaborating with friends to combat the enigmatic Hive. Players can mine valuable ores and minerals, collect resources, and craft unique items. Joining their nation's military allows them to partake in massive online battles. The game offers a diverse range of gameplay styles, from participating in large-scale battles and real-time PvP to more peaceful activities like trading and mining in safer regions of the galaxy. Whatever your preference or mood, there is a gameplay style to suit you. Vendetta Online provides players with the flexibility to set relatively casual and short-term goals, ensuring entertainment even during brief gaming sessions.

Vendetta Online is available for free on Android devices without any level restrictions. For a nominal fee of only $1 per month, players can access the construction of large Capital Ships. 

Character Progression

License Levels

As you participate in the world of Vendetta Online, you will gain skill points in five categories: Combat, Light Weapons, Heavy Weapons, Commerce, and Mining. Your government will monitor your skill progression, and once you've reached a high enough proficiency in a skill category, you will be granted a new license. Higher license levels give you access to better equipment and more advanced missions.

Once you've gained license levels, you can never lose them. There are no penalties for having your ship destroyed beyond the monetary cost to replace it. However, you can lose skill points within a license level by attacking a player who has much lower license levels than you. You will be warned before any penalties are applied.

Faction Standing

There are thirteen factions in the Vendetta Online universe. Beyond the three major nation factions, there are nine corporations loosely affiliated with the UIT, and one pirate faction, Corvus Prime. The nation you start out with determines your standing with these nations; Itani and Serco pilots will not be allowed into each others' territory, though either can travel into UIT space. You can improve your standing with any faction by completing tasks such as missions for them.

Unlike license levels, however, faction standing can go down. Most factions have zero tolerance for combat within the 'No-Fire Zone' of their stations and you will temporarily lose standing if you attack anyone in this space. You will permanently lose standing with a faction if you manage to destroy the ship of a player or NPC that faction holds in high regard within space they monitor or control. You may also lose standing if you fail or abort certain missions, but this will be minor compared to the penalties for attacking or killing someone.

Accomplishments

Accomplishment medals may be awarded to you for exemplary behavior. Many statistics, such as the number of players you've killed or the number of users you've mentored, may merit an award once you've proven yourself worthy.

Other Statistics

Many other statistics about your character are recorded and available to view either in-game on your Character Information screen or on the Vendetta Online web page.

Equipment

A great variety of equipment is available to Vendetta Online players. Every pilot needs a space ship, of course, though it's important to carefully choose your weapons, power cells, and other custom addons for the situation at hand.

A number of things determine which equipment you can purchase. Not every station carries every item - some stations are larger than others, and have a greater inventory. A Barracks-class station will carry more weapons than a mining station will.

Your character's stats will ultimately decide what a station will be willing to sell to you. You need to have earned enough credits to afford the item, but most equipment requires that you've reached a sufficient license level before buying it. Your standing with the local faction also affects what you can buy. If you have low standing, you'll only be able to buy generic equipment and you'll be charged an escalated price. If your standing with the station owner is high, you may be granted access to rare equipment. It's up to you to explore and see what's offered where.

Addons

Power Cells

Every ship needs a power cell to supply energy to its engine and weapon systems. There are a number of different models available, with varying storage capacities and charge rates.

Weapons

Ships come configured with varying numbers of weapon ports. Small weapon ports generally allow you to attach lighter weapons to your ship (energy weapons and some light rockets and missiles.) Large ports allow you to attach heavy weapons, such as gatling turrets, swarm missile launchers, and mine launchers. Other non-weapon addons, such as scanners or repair modules, can also be attached to these ports.

Maintenance

Ship maintenance and upgrading is an integral part of being a successful pilot. When docked with a station, you can replenish ammunition, attach or detach equipment from your ship, configure your ship's weapon groups, and more. Your ship is automatically repaired on docking.

Detailed information follows.

Ammunition

Purchasing ammunition is important for all non-energy-based weapons. This includes rockets, homing missiles, swarm missiles, mines, repair modules, and the like. To purchase ammo for a weapon, click the "Ammo" tab, then select the weapon which you wish to purchase ammo for, then click the "Buy Ammo" button. On the left bar it will show how much ammo is currently left and the weapon's information. The "Replenish All" button will purchase the maximum ammo for all configured weapons, which should be used with care for weapons that require expensive ammo.

Equipment

Each ship has a power cell port and one or more weapon ports. When you purchase one of these addons from the Buy menu, it is automatically installed into the appropriate port. However, you can use the Ship menu to swap out existing addons, as shown above.

Weapon Groups

Weapon groups are automatically configured for your ship when you purchase it. Default groups bind all small weapon ports to your primary fire button, and all large ports to your secondary button. You can change this, if you wish, to have different combinations of weapons fire when different weapon groups are selected.

The Android version of the game comes equipped with several convenient features:

- Single-Player Mode: After completing the tutorial, players can access a single-player sandbox sector to hone their flying skills and enjoy minigames offline.

- Game Controllers, TV Mode: Compatibility with various gamepads including Moga, Nyko, PS3, Xbox, and Logitech. "TV Mode," optimized for gamepad use, is accessible on micro-console and set-top box devices like AndroidTV.

- Keyboard and Mouse Support (including FPS-style mouse capture on Android).

- AndroidTV/GoogleTV: Note that playing this game requires more than just a standard TV remote. Console-style Bluetooth gamepads are recommended for optimal gameplay; standard GoogleTV remotes may not suffice due to the game's complexity.

Players should also take note of the following:

- Free download with no obligations. Try out the game risk-free to see if it suits your preferences.

- Seamlessly switch between mobile and PC platforms. Enjoy continuity in the game experience across Mac, Windows, and Linux devices since it operates within a single universe accessible on all platforms.

System Requirements:

- Dual-core 1Ghz+ ARMv7 device with Android 8 or higher and an ES 3.x compliant GPU.

- Recommended storage space of 1000MB on SD card with additional free space to accommodate patches.

- Minimum 2GB RAM - this game demands graphic capabilities and may experience issues on devices with lower memory.

- It is advisable to download the game over Wifi due to its size, although actual gameplay consumes relatively little bandwidth and functions well on most 3G networks. Players are responsible for monitoring their bandwidth usage.

- In case of any problems, users are encouraged to seek assistance on the forums for prompt issue resolution.

Caveats and Additional Information:

- The game's hardware requirements may expose device driver issues that were previously concealed by other applications. Device crashes and reboots are likely related to driver bugs, not the game itself.

- This is a complex, large-scale MMO more akin to PC gaming. Players are urged to familiarize themselves with tutorials to improve their learning curve and overall gameplay experience.

- Flight interfaces on tablets and handsets may require some time to master but are efficient with practice, with continual enhancements based on user feedback. Keyboard controls can also be highly effective.

- Vendetta Online is regularly updated with weekly patches and encourages user engagement through suggestions on the website's forums to contribute to game development.
