ok, here it goes. two are in response to an earlier question that i found wrong
the other is an actual question.
someone asked what to do in order to recieve the voinian missions.
a response stated you must initiate the V. deffector mission...BZZZZZ! wrong.
i have reached the end (disappointing end) to the voinian string. (this is the string AS IS WHEN EVO IS Downloaded. NOT WITH THE added missions PLUGIN)
to initiate the string you MUST NOT do ANY....ANY UE related missions.
sorry, but that includes doing UE shipping and Frontier Express missions also.
do normal shipping missions (use the plug lightning jump to make it faster. its on this website.) till you can get a fighter you are comfortable with. i used a scoutship throughout almost all the Voinian missions and fared out pretty fine (its trade in was 1.5 million...)
back to the answer
get a good fighter. kill some renegades to up your combat rating to mostly harmless.
go to pax station (located on dogovor near sol)
land
enter the bar and you will be prompted by this (more or less)
"you sit in the bar awaiting...yadda yadda yadda...in the corner of your eye you catch a voinian in the corner of the room (or something) he motions you over. do you go?" choose yes
there you are. you basically scout out bakka (i think). and eventually
also
when you get "dead ended" in the string there is another mission thats kinda seperate you must complete.
go to one of the planets closest to emalghia and land. the planet description will read that it is the Voinian base of ops against the emalghians(that sound right?).
go in the bar and you will do a set of two or three missions with them and then get access to the V. cruisers
from then on all other (one exception) missions are recieved at the Vorik system.
you will know when you reach the end of the Voinian string when the last words in the mission DE-BREIFING is "bloody voinians"
don't ask me why...i won't tell you. go find out yourself. personally i found it relaxing to go beat the hell outta a set of UE cruisers and destroyers...at the same time.
NOW (huff...huff) my question
this is more technical than it is in-game. but you said anything.(and im fairly good at working with technology)
my EVO will not allow me to update to 1.0.2
i check the version of everything and it reads 1.0.2 (except music and sounds and titles)
i try and open a given file with a plug-in (that onlyworks with EVO 1.0.2) and it won't allow me because it was "made with a different version of EVO"
i tried un-installing EVERYTHING (including preference files)
installing with the chunck install DL'ed from this site and it won't work
i tried using the updater on the "updated version" of my game and it wouldn't work
and i can't unstuff the image files of EVO so i dont know if they will work or not.
BUT reguardless. i cant play F-25 because some loophole thinks EVO is 1.0.0
please respond
