I'm a veteran of EV and EVO and have played almost every plug-in there is. But now my gaming has died down and I am anxiously waiting for the release of EV3. I opened this topic for anyone who is a veteran of EV or eVO and wants to reminiss about the old times of ambrosia gaming and what awaits us in the future in EV3. Feel free to post

I liked how, at the start of the game, you were always running from Pirates, and Renegades, because you had a dinkie ship with useless weapons. Then, later, after some upgrading and new ship purchasing, you went hunting for them, because they had lots of cash, and you wanted your share of revenge!
Ha! The hunter becomes the hunted!
In Nova, this will probably all change, you'll always be weary of Pirates because of new tactics. I hope though, that you can actually save some vessels in Nova, like when they call for help, the Pirates will scatter and flee if you have a better ship, then the former-victim will reward you in some way!

I have very strong political opinions and feel that George W. Bush would be better off as a McDonald's manager, which may be too difficult for him.

Yeah, I loved that pirate thing, where I went and sought my revenge against the weak human pirates in my souped-up Crescent Warship later on in the game. Hahaha! Those pesky Kraits, and Helians, and even the "mighty" Turncoats were no match for my four phase turrets running at full power, and then my SAD modules made mince-meat out of the rest of the fleet.

I guess the AI ships aren't dumb enough to go beyond their fuel range like we are.

The first time loading the game up, seeing the planet and the little shuttle moveing it left to right, thinking how cool it was, then a Pirate Defender passing once with a short burst of mayham and leaving me dead. Total game time so far....2 mins.

What made me mad was that in EVO you could ask ships for help and they wouldn't give it to you, but if they asked you and you saved their butt, they didn't repay you for you services, so I usually just ended up killing them any way, (my ship was a beefed up Igadzra, with 1 nuetron turret and 4 nuetron blasters, had like 5 shield upgrades, a layer of the blovic? armor the buffest you can buy from voinian, and the plasma siphone, etc) it was a nice ship.

Oh soooooooooo long !
He... I remember with my friend when after a big exam we passed the whole night playing comp.... Then we played EVO and 'corrected' the game when we found it borring. (Like adding Generic News strings when we saw the Stellar Corp. had bought Ganymede for the 100th time. Or adding a BIG Fuel tank for 3 million credits with 800 fuel units... Or adding ships.... Or adding our 'own' planet and government to sell our happy outfits... We were constantly switching between ResEdit, EVO and Lightwave !
By the way, Arctic Fox, welcome to our (happyyyy) boarders community...

Okay then, was that a response to my question?

I understood it perfectly, I just didn't know if it was meant as some kind of response to my question.

Have you been from this side of the galaxy to the other? Can you whoop butt from here to the sol system? A veteran quite simply put, is one who has survived a battle or battles. So if you have killed somebody and survived then you are a veteran.

I remember the first plug-in I got it was called FFB and it rocked the house! I remember thinking after beating EV that that was it and the game was "played up" so I went to Ambrosias website to download a new game... You should have seen the look on my face when I saw that you could get plugins or even make them yourself! So I saw the description of FFB and I downloaded it. I still remember the logo...
