Matt Burch should upgrade EV with EVO's new engine, this way we can expand on EV's universe using the new features and play against a GOOD AI. It wouldn't be that hard, but it would require some new balancing. What do you guys think?

There are going to be EV for EVO 1.0.2 plug-ins, I hope.

Cham, this is already possible. There is a plugin for EVO called "EV Classic" It is EV ported to EVO. All you have to do is use that on the new version of EVO and bada-bing, bada-boom, you have EV with the new AI and all the new features.

You'd need a new version optimized for the new AI tho.

I already know about the plug EV Classic, but if its a plug people are like ok so what? But if Ambrosia releases it as 1.06, everyone will get it, then you can get make plugs using the new features, and you won't make people mad by in your readme saying now go d/l this 4 meg file to play my plug in.
Also the Plug would need to be optimized to work with the new features in 1.02.

Heh - I have a possible scenario for EVO 1.0.2 that utilizes most of the plot points of EV as a sort of a wildly enhanced sequel, with superb (planned) graphics, huge multiple mission strings, and epic conflict (with no return of the aliens). Look for it something next year

**It's a great idea. No offense directed to Override, but the game that I play and enjoy is Escape Velocity; the prospect of its engine and attributes never being upgraded or enhanced is puzzling and a bit depressing. Scenarios we can come up with on our own via plug-ins...and will. For more challenging AIs and expanded resource capacities and enhanced gameplay, I would expect Ambrosia to want to step up and deliver. I'd hope so, anyway.
Bottom line: I'd pay money for an updated EV. After all, I paid for the original...

Someone should make an "EV Classic" type plug that uses 1.0.2's new features, such as smoke trails for missiles and the like.
