      I will be building a web page soon, till than, enjoy this. Note the plugin is not finished (will it ever be?). It has been 3 years in the making and this is the collective efforts of me, myself, and my. Oh yeah, my little brother did all the models too.

      We are still updating the plugin. My little brother is convinced he can create better models and I'm consistently searching for bugs and making the ever expanding stellars. I've yet to make minor gov'ts and the like but I'd say the plugin is 80%-90% done. Judging by the time it took us to get this far expect another 4-6months development. Than the conversion to EV3...

      Excuse my ramblings and enjoy the plugin!

      I never thought I'd go
      as far as I am right
      now. Now that I'm
      here, I have to start
      over or else I've got
      nothing to do.

    • Wow, yes, finally!!! The authors are still alive!!!! Yay!!!!!!

    • Maybe someone noticed this...the plugin has problems in the ship descriptions, and the graphics seem jarbled at times. These are enough to make me forget about it. I couldn't even open the plugin with EV-Edit to adjust the descriptions a bit so I guess I'll have to wait. Nice stuff so far however. 😉

    • We haven't added any ship descriptions. Any ship descriptions you see are just a dummy desc. to put something there. When we previously released the plugin, we put the desc. in, albeit they were really poor. We are saving the desc. for last as they are the easiest to do.

      As you can guess, a plugin of this size is very hard to do. I'm currently converting them to the "data" files. This will save on RAM and should solve some problems, well, it has for me (the color palette problem you speak of comes to mind).

      As well, another problem currently being addressed is the only place you can buy ships are at "Trent's Planet" in the Odin syst. If you travel else where, even Romulan space, the only thing you can purchase are the first 3 (or is 4) ships. that includes shuttle, runabout, runabout fighter, and consitution (original) I think. That WILL be addressed in the next release.

      I don't play the game much, I'm just making it.

      The first golden rule of computer game development, you should play every single game you can, expecially the one your basing your game on!

      Pick it, pack it,
      Fire it up, come along
      And take a hit from the bong!

      Oh, I'm sorry. Did that break your concentration?
      I didn't mean to do that.
      Please, continue.

    • I guess I shoud clear that up a bit, my little brother plays it and guides me in what needs correcting. I've lost interest after playing (ST)EV for so long.
