    • My brand new Zidara seems to be broken!


      So I've saved up my money, made nice with the Zidigar (since I want a Zidara, based on the GLOWING review in the EVO Ship Guide), completed the missions that let me qualify to trade in my tired Lazira for the fabled pocket fighter and ----

      The shipyard salesman lied to me!! 🙂

      There's only 15 tons of cargo space and there's supposed to be 40! There's too many special missions that need more than 15 tons, and there's no way to ever run more than one with just 15....

      Is this a plug-in problem? (I'm just running the EVO Fixer 1.4.1.) Were the specs changed in EVO 1.0.2?

      While I'm complaining, is there a plug-in to remove those phased disruption beams and/or the fighter bay? 30 tons of space is NOT enough! 🙂

      Many Cranky Thanks!

    • The problem might be that because in EVO 1.0.2 a gun slot takes up a turret slot (or vice versa) the standard armament might take up more space than in EVO 1.0.0 . Maybe the nice programming people forgot to make the changes to the ship stats list.
      Other than that it just could be a plugin problem, although I don't see how.
      I thought the EVO fixer plugin solved that problem with the unsellable bays and guns. Maybe it only did that with the UE.

      P.S I never really liked the Zidara, it never seemed to have the firepower needed to beat an Igadzra Warship, no matter what I did to it. Your choice though.

      ------------------

    • For starters why would you want a Zidara. They are way to small and not all that strong - except for the beam. I know this is likely to kickoff which ship and or strand people think is the best but you should go for the Azdgari Warship. Since you can not buy one just get a UE Cruiser and capture one. Then get the Triple agent plug since you have already stuffed their missions up by working for the Zidigar. Or just start a new pilot. The stuff it with the latest maneuverability upgrades and shield upgrades as you will have the most rocking ship in the galaxy. But you wont have any cargo space. Since this seems important to you it mite not be such a good idea after all.

    • I for one, like the Zidara. It's pretty well rounded: fairly powerful, but still manueverable.. I dunno about your problem, tho. Probably the plug as I think it did some stuff with the gun/weapon slots on the Zidara..

    • I found the zidara very disappointing after the glowing review in the ship guide. It doesn't seem to aim turrets very well. THere seems to be a blind spot.
      I prefered the Lazira I traded in for it, and got out it into a crescent warship as soon as possible, though I'd have prefered as Azdgari version if I could have got one at the time - those fighters are very useful for conquering defence fleets 😉

      That's probably cause EVO fixer has screwed up the ship. I think EVO Fixer was for 1.0.1.

      What do turret slots have to do with Cargo space? Anyways, turrets take gun slots, not guns take turret slots. Why do people complain about this? It's been like that since 1.0.1.

      Umm, the phased beam sucks shît! It sucks up hella fuel, it does weak damage, I think you're off somewhere. Getting an Azdgari warship is a bad idea unless you like fighters. I don't. The Azdgari warship has weak @$$ armaments, which only includes Fighters and Turrets. NO secondary weapons, plus, no room for Expansion. So that ship pretty much sucks.

      I think the Zidara still is the best all-around ship. You guys either REALLY like slow ass warships, haven't actually flown EVERY ship...

    • i HAVE tried all of the ships, and my favorite is the simple yet efficient azdara, modified, itll take out anything

    • The EVO ship guide that corresponds with EVO v1.0.2 is simply wrong when it talks about the specs on the Zidara ship. I thought the Zidara was cool too until I bought one and found that I couldn't sell some things...

    • Damn, a problem apparently with EVO Fixer, could you email me as much details as possible and I'll see what I can do, I was going to update it anyway.

      but it WASN'T like that in 1.0.0, or any version of EV, it's also completely and utterly retarded, i mean think about it! why the hell would a turret take up a gun slot? it just doesn't make any sense. even if its to make things more balanced! (wich could have been achieved other ways) it just doesn't make any damn sense.... god i hope its not like that in EV3 ('course EV3 is by ATMOS, so it probably won't be like that)

      ------------------

    • OK, I checked it out and it's not my fault, I checked the EVO data files and the Zidara only has 15 tons of space. At least in my copy anyway. It also says nowhere in the ship descriptions that it has 40 tons. It's not meant to, it's only meant to have 15. I just wan't to repeat that there is nothing wrong with either EVO Fixer or EVO itself to my knowledge, sounds like the EVO ship guide is misleading.

      All you can do about it, is change it to fit your needs. Complaining doesn't accomplish anything. It's not like Ambrosia would read it and say "hey, this guy's got a point, let's make an update and fix it!"

      EV3 is made by Ambrosia, and the Scenario is made by ATMOS...but they are the one's who'll choose to do that or not...=)

      PEACE YO!

    • I think that the UE Cruiser is the best. In a close second is the Igazra, and then the Zidara. For sheer firepower either the Cruiser or the Igadzra would be a good choice. The Zidara is better if you want something small and quick. The Azdgari Warship (or Azdara if you prefer) is also a good choice for speed demons or Azdgari lovers.

    • have you all forgotten the whole point of this topic. It's not which strand is best, its why the cargo space is screwed up. Stop deviating dammit. Cargo is messed up due to your plug.

      Umm...NO

      It's NOT due to the plug. I took a look at the 1.0.1 Zidara and it had 40 tons of cargo space, while the 1.0.2 Zidara only had 15. Who knows...ask the pres...

      Check your facts, it's not a problem with my plug. However for people who are using EVO 1.0.1 it might change the cargo space from 40 to 15, if it does then just remove the Armor Display part of the plug. The EVO Fixer 1.4.1 is for EVO 1.0.2 but the main fixer plug should also work with EVO 1.0.1, if you have it then I suggest you upgrade.

      Is that an acute or obtuse angle? 😉
