This post has been dead for a long time... let it rest in peace..
P.S. Man was I wrong about Multiplayer EV, its perfectly possible, and somones making it too 
------------------
Hmmm... I must admit that I really liked FH.. I think is was because it actually finished a plot -- whereas EV and EVO always leave it 'half-done'.
Also, you gotta congratulate Martin Turner on his use of the EV game engine (yes, it was based around EV, even though it came out for EVO as well) -- no doubt FH2 will take advantage of the EVO 1.0.2 (or even EV3) game engine when it is released.
My only problem with it was the graphics it used... I tend to find non top-down plugs slightly disconcerting.
All in all... if it had a little more depth to it, then it would be a worthy contender to EVO itself... however, it is merely just the best plug for EVO around (IMHO)

Eirik or whatever, cut it out.
As for FH, I suggest we all shutup and quit dissing it.
Why??
Let's see you make something better. NOW. You shouldn't insult something if you can't top it.
I liked it, it was a change from EVO...

Mikee posted: How about the resource files that came with it? Seriously, it was like he took a bad book, and spread out specific parts throught the missions. Did you enjoy all those missions going from planet to planet doing nothing? I quickly got sick of it... And whats up with the fighters only crap? I want huge battles and a lot of dead people damn it!
I liked the ships though.. to bad you can only use the fighters... blah
Ah. So the ancient topic rises from the dead.
A bad book? That's a matter of opinion.
Yes, I enjoyed every mission in Frozen Heart. Where there wasn't action, there was, FYI, a GREAT storyline that is unmatched in any other plug in this universe. No you don't get to blow stuff up every mission. Maybe, just maybe, its because there's more to EV than blowing stuff up.
Aw, only fighters you say. But you ignore the fact that the Tach fighter is one of the most powerful ships you can get, if you aren't stupidly reckless with it. No you don't get any of those Rigellian warships and make "a lot of dead people", but you do get a job that is strong, small, quick, and jumps FAST.
The only place I agree with you is that I agree that we disagree on this one.

because Phloppy replied to it.
About EV-MP, it's being done but it doesn't have to be just like EV as there are some EV features that can't or are difficult to put in MP

To those of you who think FH is good because it ended, well, personally, I didn't even know it ended, I had to email Martin Turner and ask him if it had ended, or maybe that was FemmeFatale...........

I've said it before, i think MP EV would be best if it only consisted on one system. Then you use your ship and fight other people. A complete MP EV game would get dominated by long time players and would just be to hard to do.

that wouldnt be the EV-MP people would like as it would take off the best part of EV.

Maybe not, there would be NPC ships that could procect new players being attacked for no reason

You'd need to be able to define "no reason" which would be hard.

Ohhhh, I get it. So you've never insulted a movie, then? Or expressed your dislike for a book?

He's got a point -- a valid one. If you put something in the public eye (or in this case, make it available for download) you can expect to get criticism from everyone who downloads. It can be either good or bad. If you don't want people to criticize your work, don't release it.
I, personally, think the Frozen Heart is a great plug, and the novel isn't bad either. I do agree, however, that FH pushes you through the plot. I think this was necessary for Martin Turner to tell his story.

Yea real funny OctoberFost considering you were the one that got into my account and put it their.
Note: OF noticed I put the letter "z" in my email replies at Blazer's Board and guessed it was my password here. I didn't really care at the time because I didn't think anyone was pathetic enough to try and impersonate me, I thought wrong....
