      Is there a way to make EVO run in thousands of colors? On my computer, it always reverts to 256.

      The current EV engine is only capable of running in 256 colors; this can not be overcome, it is an inherent limitation of the sprite system. On the bright side, Nova's engine supports both 256 and thousands of colours, as well as numerous graphical effects including animation, engine glow from thrusters, and weapon blasts.

      Thanks. I figured EVO only supported 256 colors, but I supposed it wouldn't hurt to ask.

      You can pick which 256 colors in EVO, though. See this thread http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/ubb/postdisplay.cgi?forum=Forum9&topic;=001819 about the clut resource.
