Since my last topic seems to have been deleted thanks to "SexyStripperBoy", I'm going to repost it, as far as I can remember.
There are a lot of "plot holes" for plug designers in EVO, so which one's your favorite?
Mine is the Crescent/Council station one... blocking off the galaxy just seems so sinister to me.

And the light faded, leaving an empty shell.
I was about to email you about that. There was some sort of bug in the UBB code that caused it to become a "blank" topic. So I had to delete it.
Sorry about that.

I like the Igadzra mysteries. For example, why everyone on that one planet just looks, smiles, and walks away laughing when they see you......

How about something more to do with the Fuzzes? I'd always like to see a Fuzz revolution aided by my trusty Rust Bucket.

I'd second the Fuzz thing. The fuzzes have a lot of potential. Maybe not quite as Payback suggests... but something.
For another one, how about a deteriorating political situation between Pewit and Croo? Ending up with an in-system war like the one between New Scotland and New Ireland in EV?

I thought getting the Miranu addicted to skiing should have provided an opportunity to distract them from their wholesale slaughter of the lovable fuzz. Then there could could be a mission string to end the fuzz trade for good. I don't think it could really become a big deal unless the Council and its nefarious schemes were somehow brought into the issue. 
I personally think the mysteries of the Council and what may lay beyond the Ji and Proxima nebulas are the open plotlines with the greatest potential in size and possibilities. The Council surely has a lot to do with the Strands and their war.
I'd like to see the Strands join forces and eradicate the council, the Voinians defeated, the renegades wiped out, and the start of the Pax Galactica. Until, that is, the ancient wars of the races beyond the nebulas spill over into known space, embroiling the Humans, Voinians, Emalgha, Miranu, Strands, and anyone else I've missed in a huge and explosive cataclysm of violence and destruction! Or something to that effect.

Probably the cliffhanger conclusuion of the Zachit string. It just tells you that they are weakened, and leaves you saying: "Now what!?"

Beyond the Crescent ties in the two Kelmaon systems with the Council and the Strands quite nicely. Not a TC, but still a well constructed and written plug. Autonav, you should check out Zachit Missions, it carries out the Zachit string through to completion. You can find it on the addons page.

Or the North Tip Renegade missions? Those need completing.
I think that there needs to be a Stellar Corp string- industrial espionange by the player to ruin Frontier Express or something.
Or, conversely, a Frontier Express string to expose Stellar Corp corruption to the UE Court.
Or another ending to the Voinian War; how about this? In the turmoil of the UE/ Emalgha offensive against the Voinians, the other slave races revolt- the Dieri, Tientu, Dur and Ala. Voinian space gets carved up between various races using captured Voinian ships and their own primitive designs, and you get war between the newly emancipated races over prime Voinian real estate!
Perhaps an "alien invasion" scenario where evil aliens from beyond the Proxima or Ji nebulas capture a Miranu NPD and invade the South Tip or North Tip?
There definitely needs to be missions to complete the Strand War on each side.
I've always thought that the Zidagar mission "Assasinate Igadzra Scientist" ought to be "Capture Igadzra Scientist" instead.
Are these ideas any good?
(BTW, UE Crusader, that's a Zidagar planet. Vastan V, I believe.

Well I like them...I could see Stellar Corp getting involved in the human or nonhuman slave trade, a la PPI on New Venus in Frozen Heart. That would be fun to break up.
I think that the Council are actually aliens. For some unfathomable motive, they enjoy manipulating the various galactic races into wars over territory or Strand allegiance.
