EV and EVO were both brilliant, but I think if EV3 went more along the lines of elite ie: you can mine asteroids and sell the produce, being able to attack actual worlds instead of just the ships to name a couple it could be loads better. It would make the game a lot more emmersive and addictive. Also, I dont know if this kind of thing would be possible, it probably isnt but if you attack a fleet of ships destroy a few but leave some... and that fleet of ships went on to fight another, because you already had taken some out then they would lose, ie: you affect what happens in the universe as well, so unlike the original games where the fleet just reamined the same number of ships when they hypered into a system regardless of how many are destroyed in another?

Good ideas, but the spoiler posts didn't seem to reflect that. Maybe they will, though actually attacking the planet would be somewhat complicated and you would be taking EV into a genre more reminiscent of Starcraft and other blizzard games.

I think you should be able to go along a different plot if you lose the battle.
I mean when say the ship your escorting gets blown up you fail the mission but nothing happens. i think the storie should change if you don't complete the mission.
This would make EV3 more realistic.

Wow, you can mine asteroids for produce now?!? I must be behind the times. I always thought you'd get a bunch of rock and heavy metals, but apparently you can get fruits and vegetables from an asteroid now as well!

Of course, we'll find out about EV3 when it comes out.

So why bother speculating?

I wonder if you could get toiletries and stuff out of the asteroids too. I'm sure these space guys and gals need to wash and use the lavatory on occasion.

Mostly dairy by-products. And a few beets.

? Dude you're obviously a bit behind. You already can do that in EVO. Most don't use it, but do you remember a certain Zidagar photographer? It is made so that when you fail the mission continues. A couple plug-ins have been made that give you 2 different paths depending on whether you lose or win. BTW most of these suggestions (having to do with engine changes not improvements on the engine) will probally not get done. And will you guys shut up with the stupid attack the planet idea. It's the dumbest thing I've heard so far, wth would you want to do that anyway?!?!

The reason you would attack a planet is that if you got blown up by the (Fill in name of race) a lot you could go around and blow up all their planets.
