Vendetta Online

Changes: The random number generator for new character name creation was changed. It is seeded once a second, so new names can only be created once a second. Colliding with other ships will no longer cause their radar blips to change from green to red. A CTF race condition was fixed.

Changes: Unaligned Station guards now help defend the conquerable station. Convoys really have cargo in them now. The visual mission timer on the HUD was fixed. It now counts down to zero and stays there until the mission ends. If the timer was created outside of a mission, it will go away when it reaches zero. Textured line effects now have a minimum screen size, so they don't glitter as much when they are far away.

Changes: Manufacturing the Teller-Ulam Mine in the Conquerable Station now has reduced requirements (Queen Processors instead of Queen Matrix). The mission can only be taken twice per day. Missile turrets around Conquerable Stations now do less damage and have a lower top speed. Other missile turrets are unaffected. A Web page submission system was added for in-game player-created events. The audio system now has a limiter to prevent clipping when too many loud sounds are played at the same time. The "Empty Convoy" bug was fixed. Many other changes were made.

Changes: Behemoth Heavy Miner MkII is now available in mining stations; it requires Basic Miner III. Auto-detection was added and initial default settings were changed for certain Intel graphics chipsets, for improved netbook support (GMA500, 950, 3150). A fix was made for a case causing human-only Hive Skirmish to be started/posted. Navroute is set again when leaving a station after death in Border Skirmish. The Windows 7 audio driver now properly plays at the correct speed when the audio device is not running at 44.1 KHz. The station radar blip for conquerable stations is only visible to players who have docking privileges.

Changes: Player-owned ships with turrets no longer accumulate area-effect damage based on the number of turrets on the ship. The Vista Audio driver under Windows 7 tries to set the audio playback rate to 44100 Hz. The Events/Newspost menu is wider, so longer titles aren't clipped. 30 second logoff timer is now properly enabled when a private message is received from someone in the same sector, regardless of whether the sender is ignored.
