Ok, so here I am, starting a new pilot file for EV (vrs. 1.0.5) and as soon as I see my first Clipper, it appears to be a shuttlecraft. Some other ships appear as Shuttlecraft(s)
also. Is there anything I can do?

That's odd, I've never heard of something like that before. I'd redownload the game. Also, did you mess around in RES edit before playing? Some graphic/sprite files might have gotten swapped.

Pilot file: eliminated. I didn't tinker with the game before I played.
Thanks!

I hear of this constantly. Simply allocate EV more memory, especially when using large plugs, else the spins will get confused.

Good policy, even when there aren't any problems. I used to allocate about half of my available RAM to EV (on my home computer, I've got 800+ megs of RAM, and I don't even play EV on there, so it isn't any issue any more :)).

As stated before, just pump up the memory.
When EV is in the process of loading, the spins are usually the last (and biggest) resources loaded so once the memory is gone, the system will automatically substitute other sprites in the missing one's place.
------------------
Strangly, giving EV too much memory can be as bad as not giving it enough. Keep that in mind before you jack it way up.

I, uh, ahem tinkered :rolleyes: with Cap'n Hector...but as soon as I replaced the data on hi...err, her it was fine. (I should probably register :redface: )

Register. I just karma slapped Autonav 6000 for not registering (anyone who wants to complain about it can talk to Andrew).
A6K: Please note I slapped you because you are/were actively avoiding registration, and noting it on the web board for the company who you are stealing from. You really should read the Ambroisa Times, they have a nice little article about software piracy and all.

Yes you should. If you have enough money to own a computer and have the internet, you have $20 to register Escape Velocity. Tinkering with hector is piracy. I wouldn't do that to Ambrosia products if I were you. moki doesn't take kindly to such things.
Oh, and (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/newsdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=14&article;=000052")here's(/url) that piracy article EVula spake of.

Someone once said that the best way to solve your problems is to just run away and lop off any part of your life that's giving you trouble. That person was an idiot.

ignorance is blister
I'm not trying to be a pirate! I use the computer, it does not neccesarily mean I own it, and: I am just a kid! I have about 5 dollars to use right now! Hector will remain until removed correctly! graduation song plays in backround I increased the memory allocation and it worked fine. (not to mention the computer (that needs updating, OS 8.5; barf) is really starting to run out of memory!)
