I've had a look in the varios EVO files, and came accross a pic that i have no idea what it does, it's named the 'Back Room' it looks like a standard buttom like the Space port bar for example. Anyone who knows what this is please fill me in.

Hmmmmmmm, I saw this once. I don't know what it is though....

I'm all but positive this has been mentioned here at least a few times.

No, Weepul, I don't remember this ever being mentioned... perhaps we should look into this...

I heard once in the early production of the original EV that Ambrosia planned to expand much more on the planetary interface and have much more of the gameplay happen there. I believe the back room button and other unused buttons are from tests of this interface. (purely second-hand info, not guaranteed true)

It is not fear that will
destroy you, but the
absence of it.

The back room was originally going to be a place in the bar where you got more dodgy missions, IIRC.

Ah, Washer!

Finally someone who overcomes my intellect of impressive and useless facts! I salute you! Query: How did you come across such info...play a beta?

The reason the back room was never implemented was time and effort constraints I believe, but the pict recourse has been in since Escape Velocity (Not Override) was first released. Maybe this should be put into some FAQ.

The other, more likely explanation of 'Back Room' and other unseen buttons is this: Matt Burch put them in to torment amateur hackers like you folks.

I always thought that was an idea that never got done. It would probably be a place to get "non-legal" missions or stuff like that.

mcb didn't put them there to irritate people, he LEFT them there to irritate people. It was going to be a place for dodgy missions.
