      Is there a plugin, or by using ResEdit, to get rid of the max escort limit ( currently 6 )?

      No. The limit is the same in all three EVs and I know of no code hack that increases it. You could make a mission with no real goal that gives you extra escorts though.

      There is a cheat that has your fighters have fighters who have fighters etc. It is as near unlimited escorts as you can have. You have unlimited fighters. The plug-in is called, approriately enough, Unlimited Escorts.

      I got enough to fill the system in a kestrel. All but two can't dock. In regular EV, you send out your fighters, land, buy two more, send them out, land buy more, send them out, land.... Until you be satisfied, homie.

      Speaking of fighters, everyone ever make a Rebel cruiser let go of a Confed Cruiser that let's go of Manta's? It's fun...

      I'm not sure if this is a bug, but right now I have 6 confed cruiser escorts. The problem is whenever i reload the pilot file, sometimes those 6 (sometimes just 2 or 3)escorts would disappear. They come back again if I just reload the pilot file again. Any reason why this is happening?

      Whoa.......... I've never heard of that before. Also, are you guys sure the max escorts is 6; I vaguely remember hiring 9 defenders before..... Anyway since I haven't played in a while I have returned to the n00b status.

      There might have been some bug in an earlier version, but for as long as I've played EV (since 1.05), the limit has been 6 escorts, hired or captured. If it was a bug in an earlier version, I'd never have seen it 🙂

      I think it is a memory thing. I have had it before. Just quit and restart and it usually goes away. If you land, however, your escorts are gone for good.

      Also,

      This only works on old versions of EV. Certainly 1.0.1, possibly later ones.

      As far as changing the numbers with resedit. I expect that the max number of escorts is a fundamental on par with max number of ships, outfits, or missions. It would probably require an EVO/EVN style overhaul to fix. Perhaps Mr. Burch or perhaps the Man in Blue has some insight into this. 🙂
