    • Idea for EV3


      I think it would be a good adition to EV3 if when you came to demanding tribute you could bombard the planet aswell so the citizans of the planet have no reason to give you money unless you start to wipe out a couple of million people. 😄
      You could make the planet graphic change when you shot at i.e firs stating on the surface etc.

      Just really unkind!!!

    • go into ev-edit and try to do that. You would have to merge a planet resouce (whatever its officialy called) with a ship resource. Wouldn't work. Unless you made a whole new resource for that specifacly. Though I don't recomend it.

      I think that in EV 3 it should be new great music and graphics.
      You should be able to choose which scenario to play if you want to play like the humans, or an another race.

      AND last, you should be able to do missions that can change the face of the universe(like in Frozen heart on a mission when you and some allies are destroying a planet and later rename it and make it a peaceful planet, when it was a bad before.

      Who wanna play with the Soul Reaver?

    • I'd like to see Ambrosia come up with some unique ships and mabey some unique weapons for the cresent renegades. Then they could use the standard CWarships, Lizaras, etc. to set up a lot of mercerary përs.

      ------------------

    • what really sucked in EVO was the heavy warships had very little sheilds compared to EV ships. bring back the heavy warships!

      ------------------

    • Completely changing the face of the universe would be cool (If possible!)
      Having your own colour sceme would be good aswell so you could personlise (i can't spell :mad: ) your ships.

      What about when you buy say a cargo pod it appears on the ship graphic so over time as you add more items to your ship it changes it's appearence 😄

      Yes, great idea. Choosing side before entering the real action. Then you couldn't attack allies and your allies couldn't attack you, as I have seen a couple of times (even though I am upstanding citizen in most of the UE systems, UE attacks me in their enemies systems, even though im there to kick some voinian butt). However, there had to be an option to let the universe be 100% open ended, as it is in EV and O. The first time you launch the game, it would be very useful to see who you like and who and who sucks.

    • I'd like to see more realistic outfits. Instead of Engine Upgrade, you go out and and buy a new engine. The only thing the can't be modified is the hull size.

    • I'd like to see a distinct "That's it - you've won!" message, perhaps when you've achieved all the central objectives... or when you've obtained a certain amount of money or something.

      Open-ended game architecture is all very well... but it means that an excellent game ends because you become bored of it. It should culminate with a distinct finale, acknowledging that you've won. Can't imagine Riven, Duke, or Marathon leaving you wandering around, supremely powerful and wondering if there's anything left that you're supposed to kill...

      Of course, since there are a variety of playing styles, there might need to be a variety of different victory conditions. Traders and pirates want money, soldiers want victory, rebels want secession, psychopaths want to lay waste to space, the wronged want justice... and non-human races may have their own goals.

      Sure the boys from Ambrosia have their own ideas for their baby, though.
