i was going to do something like that in my human chronicles tc series, but i kinda lost interest in doing the series. my plan, to make it all come together nicely, was that the pirates and the kl'naar (some aliens encountered in the first tc) are chased off by the us government and ttd (a company which turns into a government, and is later chased off by the us as it becomes more totalitarian), and then, a few plugs later, come back as a hybrid culture which is the aliens from the great war (i think i had that scheduled for the third or fourth plug). maybe i'll get back to work on the series eventually, but i just didn't have the patience for the details of the storywriting (all the missions and the sort)

you want to know if i'm moral enough to join the army, burn women, kids, houses, and villages, after being a litterbug?

Can I get the names of weapons, bays, ships and stations? Their strangeness makes them look disturbing (no offense).

None taken. They have no names as they were requested by Joseph Wilm some years ago with vague criteria. For example, the ships on the right are an alien gunship, frigate (tandem gunship), and battleship. The images in the middle are a seeker drone launcher, a gunship bay, and a frigate bay. The images on the right are a different seeking weapon launcher, a beam, and a really poorly shrunk image of a space station.

I attempted to make them look alien and disturbing. I am glad the result was successful.

I'll send you an archive for your amusement. Please do not use the images without permission. If Joe ever makes his plugin I would hate for the images to already be published.

I would also like a plug that makes that you can play as the aliens.

------------------
One ring to rule them all, One ring
to find them, One ring to bring
them all and in the darkness bind
them

If, given enough time and graphics, i could make a plug like this for EVC and Nova. Ill start on the EVC asap. It will be decent, but i havent played EVC in a while, i dont even have the templates for it anymore. But ill do it eventuly.

General Cade Smart, did you recieve the images in my email of 31 March? If so, are they the kind of thing that would be useful for this project?

Yes, I did. However, as sit files they are useless because I am on my PC. You will have to wait two weeks until I can get to my Mac. But I should be able to upgrade its memory soon, who knows, probably I can use it a little while im testing if the memory upgrade had the desired effect.

Heh.

a dogsbody (not bony) is basically someone who cleans the **** bowl of life.

In a plug-in sense, it would mean spell checking, correcting all the bits and bobs, checking for bugs ect.

Also, as I've already done so many missions all in one go (two consecutive plug-ins) I'll need someone to bail me out with the ideas, although I'd like to write the texts (I can make them pretty imaginative).

Well, if someone makes an EV-EVN convertion, I'll take that, then do an alien plug, with all the new choices of programming open to me.

Its called "Great War". I have it on my hard drive, in my EV Plugins folder.

A few months ago, I decided to start developing it again, just for fun. Then, I happened to vist the EV board for the first time in years and I saw a review of some EV plugin that featured Aliens. Posters praised the plugin's beautiful graphics.

I said "I can't compete with that" and ceased development again. Perhaps I will restart it now.

One thin that made it different from EVula's plugin was that it was a Prequel, not an alternate universe. Its actually set durring the Great War: the ships are more primitive, the Confeds use blue Mantas, etc. The Aliens, obviously, are fleshed out; they have civillian ships, their own systems, their own background story, etc.

I see. Pretty funny name for doing the most timeconsuming, tedious bits. Who would the idea-giver be? You mean you can play EV on EVN? That is being done with Port Authority. You do a alien plug? My heart fills with joy and thankfulness. After years, somebody finally makes a plug where you can play as Aliens. This is what I most wanted of all, even more than all bugs being fixed in F-25 2.0. What woukd the two plug-ins be? I know only Confed Rule and Rigellan something... expansion to Frozen Heart.

Cade, I have one request: space out your writing, mate. It's a big block and it's giving me a headache.

Anyway, to answer the questions. By idea giving I mean that I have completed Confed Rule and nearly completed my FH plug-in, so as far as missions go I'm dried out. I love making stories and stuff, but I don't want the missions in my plug-ins to resemble one another, not at all.

Another thing: the 'aliens' in EV are just a mysterious force, with a few fighters floating around in space. If they really do have a society, background story ect, shouldn't they have their own name?

In fact, that gives me a great idea. I'm going to write it down so I don't forget it.

I made a long post so it wouldnt be a one-liner, which are sometimes frowned upon. But then it was too long and needed to be cut in paragraphs. But OK then, I will put Enters at the end of a question.

Like this.

Yea, I knew about your two plug-ins. But you mentioned a third plug-in which I asked about. The reason you want a writer is because youre out of ideas and dont want to missions to remind of one another? Oh.

Yes, they have only three fighters, one Cruiser, and one fighter after the missions. They should indeed have society and background. In form of own inhabitated systems.Abd buyable ships/weapons, not losing them after landing.

What is the great idea?

See, this is my first spaced post. Much better now?

The spaced post is much better, keep it up.

The great idea is nothing special, I just thought that if you have two sides in say, the Great War, you could change names

If you played for the Confederates, the aliens would just be called aliens. If you played for the aliens, they would actually have a name and the confeds would be the aliens.

Did I say 'aliens' a lot in that paragraph or is it just me? Anyway, I've been forced to stop the Frozen Heart plug-in so that should free up some time, but the EVO Galaxy Replacer still needs a lot of work.

Thanks.

OK, so that was the idea. Changing names.

If youre Confeds, Aliens are still Aliens. If you play for the Aliens, they finally have a name (!) and Confeds are Aliens (Hmm... a strange thought. How can humans be Aliens just because youre not on their side? Because theyre foreign then?)

You did say Aliens a lot in that paragraph. Its not just you.

I havent played Frozen Heart, so I wasnt intrested and I dont think it was sad. Probably there was others who were interested and of course you who you did lots of unnecessary work :frown:. You get free time for the plug? Thats great! I can see Aliens sooner! How much does EVO Galaxy Replacer exactly reguire?

I should say about 2-3 months of non-stop, backbreaking work.
