Yes, another plugin, but no, not just your average plugin. Hopefully, I can assemble some of the best thinkers, graphic designers, writers, and applicators to make this plugin integrate seemlessly with EVO.
One difference I noticed between EV and EVO was the replay value. I found it much easier to make money in EVO than in in EV, and soon I found myself with the biggest, baddest ship I could make. What I'm hoping to do with this plugin is to, via missions, sew up the conflicts that were only partially resolved as "central objectives", and to greatly expand the EVO universe.
Some of my goals are to build fleets of new ships, insert 30-40 new systems with 2-3 new governments, each with deep cultural and diplomatic backgrounds, and tons of new outfits/weapons. We should be able to build around the EVO universe, and allow beginners to taste the original EVO world without our interference.
What I will need for the staff:
3-5 graphic artists, who are mature enough to work together and build fleets, weapons, and outfit pics that make sense when compared to each other.
4-5 concept people, people who have good ideas for background info, plot, and different twists that we can throw into the universe.
3-4 writers. Probably the least most important, yet undervalued, member of the staff. Writing can make or break a plugin. Nothing is worse than seeing all sorts of grammatical errors and boring, uninteresting text.
4-5 logistics people. Another very important part of the puzzle, this job takes people who can use an array of programs to build the plugin, be it ResEdit or EVEdit.
1 webmaster. Though I could build a site, in theory, my schedule does not afford me time to work on this project and maintain a site at a satisfactory level. Someone will need to put up a place where staff members can post files, get files, and discuss ideas.
I'm hoping that there are enough people who will want to work on this to make it a success. This will be a major project, and there's no telling how long it will take to complete. Maybe we will have the beta out in a month to a month and a half. If things go well we could complete it before then. It all depends on the level of interest. If you have any interest, please email me about details and the position you would like to occupy.
