Someone should create a plugin (for EVN?) that creates new bulk and lightweight ships that have increaced/decreaced weap and speed as appropriate. Hmmm. Maybe to fit someones price range and fighting style? What do you think?

Why not do it yourself? Giving out such a vague idea is not a great way of getting a plug-in made that you want.

I'm not much of a graphics person... nor someone who can yet program nova plugs.

That would be a good thing to start an EV plug development "career" on.

You might want to refrain from telling people what to make in the future, especially if you don't know what you are talking about (in this case, how to make ships for Nova). You can offer ideas in a more specific way ("a ship between a heavy shuttle and a terrapin"), but don't expect a hundred people to jump up and do it for you. Knowledge about plug-in development (or the want to learn, and a willingness to try things) is a strong precursor to being productive here. There are a number of things I'd recomend to read, such as the Nova bible, and some tutorials that you can search for easily enough. The best way to get something done is to do it yourself.

I wanted something similar for for the EVN Argosy. I think it is a cool looking ship, (except for that flame which I would not mind finding out how to change), but it is slow and not very manueverable.
I have created a plugin to make it quicker and more agile. I am also going to make more room inside for it.
What I am getting at is that you can take an existing ship and make it better with outfits. But then I guess that is what you are getting at. 
Do you know the software you need to do this yourself?
If not, you need (url="http://"http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=resedit")ResEdit(/url)
You also need NovaTools which can be found on the EVN Plugins Utilities Folder
Or you can get it (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/dr_ralph/")Here(/url).
The Plugins Utilities section has quite a few programs I have not used yet.
Now, with this software, you can open up some of the file in the Nova Files folder of EVN
make sure you have made a copy of EVN before you do this, so as to prevent accidental changes
Then read through all the topics in here. Or do a search.
There is a lot of questions that I had that others had asked already.
If you already know all this, I am sorry for repeating it. :rolleyes:
I am not the greatest at this and I am still learning. I am far away from making my own Storyline, but it is so cool that I can make these changes! Everything is not set in stone.
Good Luck.

Or just keep the installer around.
