You may. Email me, evnova@hotpop.com
It is currently 56mb, so I don't know how I will get it to you, I will have to throw some brain cells that way when I come to it, which won't be until I finish the Elmdash ships done and get the bugs worked out of their subspace rift weapon (ph33r)
(If you're wondering how it can be unfinished and 56mb, allow me to tell you that one of the sprites for a Pigdor cruiser is about 11mb alone. I may have to offer a light and full graphics set...)

I think the whole 45° thing is a unrealistic fad, and it is to hard to implement good weapon exit ports with it at 45°.
I would rather have ships that shoot beams from each little cannon on the side than have 45° sprites, sorry.

Looks cool. I'd be interested in hearing about the races and what the plug's about.

Oh, how silly of me to forget.
By way of an outline:
There are five major races -
Sangean
Pigdor
Elmdash
Orion
Axis
The Sangeans, Pigdor and Elmdash are embroiled in a terrible war that has been going on for decades. The Orion were once a major player in the war but were defeated and enslaved by the Sangeans some time before the events in EVS. The Axis is not a nation in the war, they want no part of it and show disdain towards those who pass through their space to fight others.
The Elmdash are rodentoid bipeds, who specialize in missile weapons, and have a strong capitolist society. They do not care for the war, but are kinda stuck in it anyway.
The Pigdor are only rougly humanoid, and specialize in close quarters combat. They have powerful beam weapons and very nice ships, If I do say so myself 
The middle vessel in the righthand collum of screenshots is a Pigdor battleship.
To the Pigdor, the war is life, Pigdor culture and schooling are mostly used as training for military duty.
The Sangeans have the highest technology in the game. They are the most humanlike of the races, and have very strong religious beliefs about the war - to be percise, they belive that the 'heathens', the Pigdor and Elmdash, are vile impurites that must be removed from existance in the universe.
The Axis worlds shelter a mixture of races, and would not like to see Sangea win, for that reason.
As to the cuase of the war... I haven't thought of it yet, but I'm sure it will have to be something non-trival enough to make the Sangeans declare a holy war on the other races and to have the Pigdor gleefully receporcate...

Sounds pretty good. It bears some similarities to EVN (Orion slavery...).
I like the idea of 45° ships, though. I think it was part of what made EVN look so good.

Well, the Orion are nothing like Vell-oos, they are a humanoid, pale-skinned swarfish race with no telepathic powers. They are, however, exelent shipwrights.

Okay, I'll send you the 3D models and you render them, put them in the graphics files and configure the Shän resources. Lemme know when you are done.
Sorry, this isn't happening. I decided on top-down for my own reasons some time ago, I don't have the desire to change this far down the road. Besides, you can't use the starfeild to correctly oreent yourself in 45°

Hmmm, everyone's gotta have a 666th post...
Anyway, I think you have every right to have top-down sprites. Angled sprites are cool, but can get boring; and the time it takes to do it is quite a big chunk, which could be used making the plugin.

Email me...I have to figure out how I am going to get it to the testers. ANyway, if you email me, we'll talk about you testing. I do need some testers, probobly five. No, make that 10, because with the last thing I had beta tested only about half of the testers made it to the release.

Alright, alright. Just throwing out my ideas... Top-down is always cool.

Great, but my email must be slow, i haven't gotten it yet. :frown:
Everyone here should stil remember that this is still sometime from beta, if you want to do anything other than fly around and destroy things in novel and interesting ways.
Maybe my email is on the blink, the only one I have heard form here is Eytee. Has anyone else emailed me?
(This message has been edited by Bryce (edited 08-08-2002).)
I have also e-mailed you about beta testing.
