until those things begin to generate profit which VUG doesn't care about enough to explore.
They don't care enough to make profit from their possessions, but they don't want other people to, either. Part of that is because, if other people do and VUG doesn't say anything, it takes away part of their ownership.
As it's in the early stages of development I'd like to chime in and suggest some additions:
1. Playable in a browser
2. In game email
3. Name registry (it's stupid to allow more than 1 person per name)
4. Huge maps
5. 12 vehicles
6. Small maps in tiny bounding boxes (if 4 is not applicable)
7. Tons of gadgets
VUG will bitch if they feel their IP is being used. As long as it's not in the Tribes universe, and you don't use any of their names... (Stormhammer, etc..) I'm sure they won't have a problem with it.
