Doesn't everyone remember their first special encounter with "The Wall"? I remember mine...

fades into a flashback scene

It was my early days of EV, and I was valiently exploring the Southeast corner of the map in my shuttlecraft. Upon running out of fuel, I decided that I would just bite the bullet and use my sub-light drives to get me there. My request was politely declined by an invisible force holding me at bay. Needless to say, I didn't use the "Strict Play" option again.

I remember playing a few missions, when I was to destroy a specific ship, or group of ships, and having one fly beyond the wall. <grumbles>

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.

Big Brother is watching you.

that almost always happens to me when i have to destroy the alien cruiser.
i bet i know SD's first encounter (me motion to the boozerama bar thread)

<laughs> Indeed.

Actually, it was in a Lightning against a pack of Lightnings. They got after that...

my first encounter was the first day i played ev, i just kept on flying and finally stopped. :redface:

I remember my first time...I never actually hit "The Wall" till I had a Kestrel and demanded tribute at an independent planet. As swarms of defenders followed me, I suddenly hit "the wall." Then five defenders caught up with me and destroyed my kestrel with a bunch of laser cannons...

I remember my first time.. I tried to blow up a lifeboat, and chased it until I hit the wall and it just drifted away....

I think you should be allowed to blow up those things. Or board them and rescue the people. Tell Matt Burch to add that to the next version, if there is one. Will there be one?

Anyway, my first encounter was running away from a pirate. argosy. :redface: I thought they were the toughest things out there.

Yeah, same here. I was in an uninhabited system and out of fuel. It's kind of funny how no one seems to jump into a system when your out of fuel and if anyone does they are hostile any way so you can't get fuel from them. That makes me :mad:.

No, I meant EV 1.0.6. But you can do that in Nova? I mean, will be able to? That's so cool!

We don't actually know that you'll be able to do that in Nova. Incidentally, there are no plans for any further upgrades to EV or Override, although we've seen evidence that Ambrosia and R&R; Software are somehow working to make Nova features available to the older scenarios...

Ooooooo! I have to try that! I've hit the wall going in hyperspace. Flying, flying, WHUMP, going sideways...okay, there was no "WHUMP" sound, but you get the idea.
