I don't know if any of you remeber this show. It aired on Fox in 95/96 but was taken off after only one season. It was, however, one of my favorite shows, and recently I revived my interest in it. It occured to me the other day that it would make a GREAT EV/O plugin.

Unfortunatly, I know exactly squat about making plugins or modeling 3D stuff. Nor do I know much about the S:AAB universe. I'm trying to get my hands on a complete copy of the episodes right now, which will help me learn more.

If anyone remembers this show, and would like to calaborate with me on an EV/O (or maybe even EV:N) plug, email me at ephrin@mac.com. I think it would end up being very, very cool.

I've heard of, but never seen, the show, but if you could get some reference material for me to work off of, I could attempt to make the ships & outfits for the plug . . .

Well, like I said, I'm working right now on getting copies of the episodes on VHS and then burning them to VCD. When that gets done I could send them to you. In the meantime, do a Google search for Space: Above and Beyond and there will be a few pages. The best one that I found was (url="http://"http://web-worthy.com/saab")this site.(/url) Another one that might be good was a site that made a total conversion plug for some other game and has a few 3D models and stuff. It can be found (url="http://"http://www.saab-mod.net")here.(/url)

I watched that show, and it was no bad

Anyway, I don't think there'd be enough for a full TC, but it might be cool to have the aliens from that series incorporated into the EV/O scenarios. From there you could extrapolate a decent set of missions, for example prevent them taking over the galaxy (or maybe something original).

Anyways, heres a few resources:

If you want to see shows, it airs on Sci-Fi channel couple times a week. Check your local listings.

Unfortunatly, I live in the boondocks, and we don't get Sci-Fi. If we did, I would watch it. And if I could watch the episodes on TV, I wouldn't have to buy them online, which is what I'm doing now. Dammit...

As for the plug, I was thinking about it today, and you're right Evil Homer. There really wern't enough Episodes or lore to really do a whole plug. I was thinking maybe a short mini-plug. But an addition to the EV/O universe might not be a bad idea. For instance...
A wormhole opens and a bunch of chigs pop through, followed by the 58th. It is your job to help the 58th defend the galaxy from the evil Chigs.
Or something. Whatever. I just don't know anything about making plugs, and figured if someone here had an interest in the show it might give them a good idea.

Oh well. Enough for now.

I neither saw the show nor know anything about it, but, provided that this is a smaller venture, I could make a few graphics for you. A couple ships and some outfits, I mean. I am new to graphics, and would like the chance to test my ability. If you would like to see some of my work: (and note that there isn't much because I havn't been at this for too long)

(url="http://"http://home.cfl.rr.com/aresev/big.jpg")Here's a personal favourite(/url)

(url="http://"http://home.cfl.rr.com/aresev/jelly.jpg")Still needs work and texturing.(/url)

Those are some of my favourites, and I am working on several as we speak. If you are interested in having me work on some stuff, post here or email me.

Remember that you are a unique individual - just like everybody else.

Nice pics ares1. Check out the links that I posted in my second post, because they might help with both series background, and some examples/comparisons for your work. The second link in particular would be helpful in that area. It is a page that deals with a Space: Above and Beyond expansion for the game Homeworld. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Anybody who's interested in doing this, let me know. ephrin@mac.com. I've said this like four times now, but I really know nothing about making plugins or making 3D graphics, so don't expect me to do a lot of work as far as that stuff goes. But I'm more than happy to help with plot development and general management.

Ok. That's enough for now.
