The busy folks at Guild Software have just updated their game Vendetta. The Vendetta Test is a space-based Deathmatch and Capture The Flag game created using Guild's own WGAF game engine.

The update, bringing the software up to version 3.1.5, consists mainly of gameplay tweaks, as well as a couple bug fixes:

This version adds much of the functionality planned for 3.2. It is now possible for characters to own multiple ships. Additionally, there are now two new ships, a "free" vessel available to those without finances, and the "Prometheus", a heavy class ship of the Red Nation.

AI robots are now present in more sectors, including defensive bots in the Nation's home sectors. A new weapon has been added, the "heat seeker" missiles, which are considerably faster than normal homing missiles, but can lose their lock if their target leaves their field of view (180 degrees).

The invulnerability bug should now finally be fixed. The negative/extreme money bug has also been fixed. The key to open the console is now completely controlled by the bind menu. Other bugs, fixes, and miscellanious improvements.

If you're interested in participating in the test, you'll need to create an account and download their client software. System requirements are currently listed as any G3 or G4 based Mac equipped with 128 MB RAM, a 16 MB 3D-accelerated video card, and Mac OS X.
