      Nothing happened to it. It's still in development.

    • Aye. We had a vaporware scare a week ago, but its alive and well.

      I just started work on my first missions in it like 5 minutes ago, coincidently. Right now most people are working on missions and spobs, ships and outfits are all done, as is the map.

      You can see the map (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/octoberfost/map.gif")here(/url)

      Ah, the wonders of EVO Developer's Map...

      Idiot_Box: It requiers a ****load of RAM. My own comp won't run it without VM set to a high ammount.

      I'd post screenshots, but the key combination just won't work in EVO. Even with Snapz Pro. And the rest of the team might get mad, I gotta talk to them first.

    • Oh my... thats a lot of planets. Hmm... I wonder how long it would take to dominate them all. hehe. That sure would be a lot of pay checks! hehe... and a lot of bounty hunters. Is there a website on the plug-in where I can see development updates etc.? I've never heard of this plug-in before.

      Ironically enough, Bubaganoosh has brought up a good point through the proccess of asking for the website. Will the comp. freeze if enough bounty hunters jump into-system from having too many planets dominated?

      Just a question/thought/whatever....

    • Thats what I was wondering... What happens when you try to force more than 37 ships into a system? Will it just auto-correct itself to a lower number or would it freeze?

    • I'm guessing it'll auto-correct. But I'm not sure...

    • That was a problem in Satori Station, one of my earlier plug-ins.

      There is a mission were you have to destroy a HUGE fleet of Confed Warships. The enemies and escrots add up to 30, plus your ship is 31.

      If there are more then 1 ship in the system, none of the escorts or enemies appear. I had to fix that becaue I kepy getting complaints. I think it auto-scales for systems but ignores the ships and auxships for missions.

      and there's only one Bounty Hunter përs, so I would imagine only one Bounty Hunter at a time.

      The Flash plug-in is a small download, and free.

      Even works with iCab.

      Yes. But our original goal - to make a huge galaxy by using all of EVO's Syst resources - has evolved by necessity into a project that will be maxing out just about every aspect of the game engine.

      Originally, there were seven, but as I said above: virtually all of EVO's resources are on their way to being maxed.

      7 big ones. To get the total, just get the limit of gövts. We max out ALL the resources 😉

      1000 systems, 1000 spöbs. Again, the max EVO supports.
