Vendetta Online, an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) from Guild Software Inc., is now at version 1.8.295 and sports quite a few changes.

The Vendetta Online developers have released many updates recently, mostly to fix various problems and to add some new features for the gameplay and for the engine. Last week's update was, in fact, very interesting because the developers also organized a race, which took place in Grayspace.

Unfortunately, this week's update is a little bit smaller and there are no races, although there still are a few days until the end of the week and the devs might surprise us.

According to the changelog, conquerable station defense turrets no longer fire on access key holders while they are leaving the sector, friendly-fire deaths caused by Avalon explosions no longer kick players out of Border Skirmish missions, experimental network quality reporting has been added, idle-detection captcha has been implemented for non-premium subscriptions, and a problem that occurred when the player's persistent capship failed to leave 5 minutes after the owner logged out has been fixed.

Also, characters are no longer listed as holders of access keys (this was causing some minor headaches for some users) and some Java object reference leaks on Android have been corrected.

Users need to know that, in order to enable report logging into the chat window, they will have to type and set nShowNetQualReport to 1.

“Some widely-requested changes and tweaks, as well as further work towards feature improvements like network-quality detection. This is all working towards some larger launches later this month, stay tuned!,” also said the developers in the announcement.

In Vendetta Online, thousands of people can play together in a persistent universe that is constantly being improved by the developers through numerous patches.

There aren't many space MMOs on the Linux platform but, with the rise of Steam for Linux, players will start to see more of these games. The good thing about Vendetta Online is that it has a head start. The developers update it on a constant basis, which is a very good thing for an online game.

A complete list of changes and other fixes can be found in the official announcement. You can download Vendetta Online 1.8.295 right now from the Softpedia. Keep in mind that you will need a constant Internet connection to download the rest of the files and to play the game.
