I was thinking about making a plug, and I thought to myself, "Self, why not go on the Ambroisa Web Boards and see if anyone has any ideas?" Well, actually, this is not an original idea, but I wanted to try it anyways. So, what do you think?

I remember someone mentioning creating a plugin with World War II planes and ships... 
Someone should try creating a plugin totally based on Comedy. Sliced bacon flying around, green eggs and ham patrolling systems, hot grits terrorizing cargo hams...The list goes on.

Hehe...Just a crazy idea. You could call it "Spam Wars" or "Grits Plus"...Somthing along those lines.

I have always wanted to see a plug that re-creates the Great War. It could start out out with the player at Sol... and you have to help colonize the rest of the galaxy. then you discover the aliens in the fringe... and the rest is history... Also i think it would be cool to have one where the aliens won the great war.... where its just like EV except you play an as an alien.

Excellent idea...You know, I just might create a plugin along those lines myself. Superb idea. Thanks!

Thank you... Another idea i had just now was a plug that details the begining of the civil war... EV gives a slight history, but i think it still leaves it wide open for developers to expand on the history.

Another idea.... It might be interesting to do one on the Great War from the prespective of the aliens... EV never really says who started the war... the aliens could have been out there just minding their own buisness when WHAM!! some crazy ape like things just up and attack them.... Also... if anyone decides to do any of these please let me know... i would really like to help out... I can't do gfx or any editing of resources really... but i am good at storylines, as well as writing mission text and designing and describing new ships/outfits

I think OctoberFost was developing a plugin like that called 'The Great War'

Actually, I made the sign on a PC. Just hold down Alt and while Num Lock is off, press 0153 on the keypad. See?
And there are so many ideas, maybe I'll combine them all and make a plug where you fight the Great War at George's World with Alien Spam Fighters and who knows what else...

You know, "SPAM" stands for "SPecial hAM"...
The very definition of the word "special" means something out of the ordinary
How do I sit down to write a plug?
I mean what resources should i use?

Actually, I believe the manta was developed by the Rebellion during the beginning stages of the war (between the Confederation and Rebellion). Interesting idea, though...

One of the easiest ways to do this is to duplicate the EV Data file, and open the duplicate with ResEdit. Then you simply delete any resources your plugin doesn't modify(for example, if you don't change any ships then delete the shďp resource).
Wow, this is a lot of great material here. I'll have to choose carefully...
