The [[misc:dock|dock]] with the solid blue force field is '''not''' the [[misc:dock|dock]] you enter to get into the station. It is the exit bay you fly out of when leaving the station. Do NOT attempt to enter the exit bay. Other ships may exit and crash into you and you will take damage from the force field and can be destroyed if you attempt it.

Since VO 1.8.196, ships have the ability to automatically dock (autodock) upon entering the docking bay.  This feature is enabled by default, and may be toggle on or off in Options>Advanced>Game.

Ion storms, also called warp storms, are a daily hazard for all space pilots. These storms interfere with the normal operation of the engines. To jump out of a storm you must find the "storm exit" Indicated by a green "+" on your [[:HUD]].

Ion storms interfere with the jump computer and you will be notified when your ship is pulled into an ion storm. If no matter how much you fly around the meter thing reads a solid 0m you are either flying in circles around an asteroid, or you're in a storm! There will also be ions everywhere giving a rain-like effect.

While using the Navigation computer to plot out your course is a great convenience, the standard jump path is the shortest distance between the two sectors. The risk of using the standard jump path is that you often jump across and into storms. Pilots may avoid some storms by using the more time consuming method of plotting a course of shorter jumps around active storms and asteroid belts.

== How Does the Economy Work? ==
The Vendetta economy is a dynamic economy. This means that as items are sold to a station the demand and price for that item will go down. If an item is constantly sold to a station the price will continue to drop until it is no longer profitable to sell to that station.  When it is no longer profitable to sell to a station most players stop selling that item.  As time passes without receiving the item, the price will gradually increase.  The longer a station goes without an item the higher the price.

It is possible to store cargo in stations and to sell them in lots of 100.  Many traders will fill up their station with cargo and then sell it in large lots to maximize profits while minimizing the price depression.

However, PvP is supposed to be consensual. Attacking pilots near stations is not allowed and carries severe RP consequences. Strike forces will be deployed to destroy aggressors in station monitored space. Be aware that killing pilots without consent may alter your faction standing. If your faction standing drops too low, you will be labeled KOS (Kill on Sight) and squadrons of bots will be deployed to attack and kill you if you enter that faction's monitored space.

If a pilot wanders away from monitored space, they are running the risk of being engaged in PvP. These pilots should be prepared to fight or flee any time they leave monitored space. Pilots are encouraged to form convoys or fly in groups for protection when traveling in unmonitored space.

In certain unaligned systems, the stations there are not as strict about license levels when selling weapons and equipment. It is possible to go to these stations and purchase weapons you are usually ineligible for in your home system. Corvus Prime is known for its Black Market weapons and batteries. However, be prepared to pay a high cost for these items and if you die you may not be able to get the item replaced with a bit of a hassle. Also flying into the unaligned systems can be very dangerous so beware of the pirates!

As far as profit goes, piracy is not very good. It takes a very smart and patient pirate to actually make a profit from it, and even then it pales in comparison to what a good trader can get. You have to choose your targets wisely and pick the fights you know you can win.

Certain factions are mutually exclusive with one another; if your standing with the Itani rises above a certain level, your standing with the Serco will begin to fall, and vice-versa.  The same goes for Axia Technology Corp and Valent Robotics.
