The game was too easy. That's it, I didn't care abou tthe graphics. The game play was great. But I beat it too easily.

I'm annoyed with how, with constantly spinning sprites (the SAD, for example), at the end, it displays a portion of a completely different sprite. But this is more a problem with the engine.

The primary problem I found with EVO is the lack of continuity with the current timeline (meaning how technoilogy progressed from 2000 to 2150). EV was much more realistic in that respect. We know of numerous starts within a few lightyears of Earth, and we have already named them. Why not a single system near Earth has a name we have for it today is beyond me.
Right now I am working on a new TC for EVO, complete with fully redone governments, worlds, systems, weapons, and outfits. Hopefully it will remake the universe in the image of a logical progression of technology, set in a more realistic version of our surrounding universe 400 years from now. I hope to get it done before Christmas.

Yeah. But it's particularly bad in EVO. If you disable a Renegade ship, and some Zachit hyper in while you destroy it, and a civilian ship is accidentally caught in the crossfire, you're swarmed with P. Missiles and phase cannons. Also, my only problem with the Star Wars 2 plugin is that sometimes the turret and/or cannon weapons just won't fire at all. Aside from that, my only problem is that the plug is just so boring once you've done enough Imperial missions for a Super Star Destroyer. You just come down on anything in your way like an anvil on a beetle. I've been having trouble finding a TC plug that wasn't too hard, too easy, or too boring. Good luck on the plug Capt. Z.

Thats not nesicarily (sp.) true. Centuri is a real star and its the closest to earth so EVO is correct in both aspects there.

I didn't like some stuff in EVO...There wasn't enough classic novelty in such as ships and governments. The Argosy, in EV, was a good example of this -- positively, that is. The ships in EVO weren't great, either. You'd have to redo them. Not the names, so much, but the appearances. I also disliked the lack of interesting non-major-string missions in EVO.

I have but one distant hope for a modification...
A UE Cruiser has 5 turrents, doesn't it? Then why can't it fire at five different targets? Why most we always aim at the same target? My only request is a plug that will allow one to target multiple enemies, first by selecting the turrent number, and then the enemy, and so on..
A strange request, but my only one.

In any case, this is far beyond what could be remedied with a plug-in: plug-ins can alter the scenario only, not the game engine.

Fix the phased beam. Make turrets take up just a turret slot. Make the Emalgha warship available for purchase pre-converted, as some missions are not available if you are in a freighter type ship. Change the theme, or use the MAGMA graphics BUT use the asteroids from EVSO and change the text back to the game standard, MAGMA's doesn't fit. Make the map bigger. Improve the AI (wishful thinking). Add more missions in all areas, but with high resources to reduce conflicts with other plugs (may not be possible).
If you are actually adding to the universe as well as fixing, then...
Explain the council, explain the two Kelmaons, explain the strand anagrams, develop the race on the 'uninhabited' stellar in the central galaxy, have Miranu missions that aren't just trade stuff, incorporate ROTUE and/or ROTV, make other alien cultures beyond the crescent, the nebulas, and Voinian space, lead one strand to total domination rather than just unbalancing the war, and make more dominated alien cultures to rebel in Voinian space, with their own ships, etc.; maybe make the destroyed planet actually a lost colony of an advanced race that is now returning.Those are my ideas. Many have been used before, but to incorporate them all into one plug would be great.

Make the Voinian Turrets have 2 guns like the Graphics show. They seem to have only 1 from the rate of fire shown on screen. Maybe double the rate of fire and reduce the distance - decrease the count.
The Heavy Blaster Turret in EVN seems to be the same - pic shows 2 guns but it fires as if it only has 1 mounted on the turret.
Has anyone already released a Plug to fix this in EVO? It would help to make the Voinians more of a challenge.------------------

It isn't a bug, Afterburner. The two cannons (on the swivelling platform) alternate in fire. All turrets in any EV series have x2 rate of fire to the cannon, that I know of, except, of course, for plug-in makers, who seem to like making something odd, like x4 or x8. : )
However, Captain Skyblade made an interesting version of the phase turret that fired two bolts which fly together, instead of alternating fire. I'm not entirely sure where Saber Studios hangs out, but just go (url="http://"http://www.evula.com")here(/url) and you're likely to find it.
