      ... lets you hire government ships as escorts?

      All you have to do is play the gonverment strings passed the Alien sighting/distruction area and poof, ships for hire. Or you can just get the Zero Tech plugin under the CHEATS section.

      IIRC this does not let you hire government ships.

      Indeed, it seems the EVC engine does not allow ships that are mission bit controled to be hired. Thus they could only be hired through a cheat plugin that removes the mission bit requirements from the govt warships.

      I do not smirk. But if I did, this would be an excellent opportunity to do so.

      oh. ok. but Zero Tech turns off the tech and mission bits for all the ships
      Or you could get GS. After running the dilever Documents mission you can buy and hire a pt ship.

      Yet for some reason there are hire descriptions for Confederate (and I believe also Rebel) ships.

      As I recall it you could hire gov-ships in previous versions, but not in 1.0.5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've definately been playing a registered, un-modified version of EVC and seen the rebel ships for hire after the alien mission.

      You could? That would be unimaginable awesome. Just think having six Rebel Destroyers on your side when you get attacked by a Confed Cruiser! It would go down even faster than you could do it yourself. Six Kestrels do work, but the result is a loss of two Kestrels. Sadly, it has been fixed in 1.05. That means those download EV from the Ambrosia will never be able to hire ships after doing the Alien mission. We need to find 1.04 from someone that still has a old version.
