Today, May 5, 2002, is the sixth anniversary of the original release of Escape Velocity 1.0.0. As a tribute to this game and what it has created, I give you (url="http://"http://davidarthur.evula.net/misc/novastyletargets.sit")Nova-Style Targets(/url), a set of two small plug-ins which give Escape Velocity and EV Override target graphics in the style of EV Nova. For a sample of one of the periods in Escape Velocity's history considered a 'golden age', you might want to read Sparks2002's classic serial novel (url="http://"http://www.evula.com/stories/dash_riprock/chapter1.html")Dash Riprock(/url) (formerly hosted at EV Weekly, now on (url="http://"http://www.evula.com/")EVula's Lair(/url)), and of course there's the spider which once guarded the entrance to the Escape Velocity web boards, in days long before UBB:

Anyway, congratulations to EV for prospering for six full years. Let this be a tribute to his Burchness <goes to the Burch shrine and prays :p> and his creation.

Me too... I'd move on to something else, but I don't think I'd know how after being here for so long.

I dunno. Where's mine? I remember straight editing the EV data files before the idea of plugins came around (in 1.0.2...or was it 1.0.1). Ha! Shuttlecraft bug!
