EV:nova is well and great, but lacks a bit depht besides the main storylines. Where are all the plug-ins to extend the universe and give you something to do with your fancy new ship later in the game?
How about extending the minor lines like the terraforming and far space exploration?
Team up with some good storytellers and get cracking with minor mission plugins too, not just TCs and additional ships and unbalanced add-ons.

/me opens big mouth to say something, sees that mrxak has already said what he was going to say, and closes it again. (A feat which, if you knew me, is very hard to comprehend)

Yeah, I already have zUnity, which is exactly the plug I am looking for (except for the fact that I had to delete it's splash screen replacement cringe). I understand that it extends polaris only.
I'm not a good writer, but I can do 2d graphics pretty well. So I could help out with a plugin of the sort I'm wanting, not just expecting it to be done for me. I was merely seeding the idea and the need for such plugins into the development community.
An excellent example of what I'm talking about is the Angels of Vengeance plug for original EV. It extended the existing universe with two new goverments, a boatload of new systems and a whole new and engaging plot that was beside anything that happened elsewere. Enhancing the Nova universe like this could be easy. Suddenly the spaceprobe-experiment works out, and you get a hypergate to a whole new cluster of systems down in the south with alien races with their own politics and such. After this discovery, you'd not only get a new plot with those races, but tie-in missions with the rest of EVN's universe. Diplomatic missions, sigma shipping expanding into a new territory, etc.

Unfortunately, most everyone already has their own idea on what they want to do.
(A lot of people like to make TC's because that way they can develop their own style/feel and not have to conform to Nova's boundries.)

Yes, but my idea is like a TC, only with the advantage of a large, existing universe.
If you connect two separate universes like this, then you can still develop your own style since the two universes would make contact for the first time and necessarily would have different technologies, ways of interacting etc. than the rest...

Now that's more like it 
Anyone else have projects like this? I'd be happy with even minor strings like the non-plot-ones already in Nova... only more of them
