      I think I'll give them up. Even if I solve the problems they will never react like missiles, and, consequently, aren't very useful.
      However, I made the fuel bomb, and it's great! I send it to you via e-mail (with my given up kamikaze drone) as soon as you will give it to me.
      I have also an idea I will make : a "decay missile" (still a codename, say what name it should have). Explanations : "one day, the renegades invented an explosive that could be used as a propeller. they made a missile with it, using its own explosive to propel itself, allowing it to be used as a short-range heavy rocket as well as a long-range missile."

      Email away, Zacha Pedro! My email address is slangendorf@earthlink.net. Do you have the PICTs for the fuel bomb? If you do, send them as well.

      These ideas are great!!!! I think that a good weapon would be a plasma gun. The plasma gun launches plasma balls at the enemy. These plasma balls fire very accurately at high speeds with about 10 shots per second. plasma balls don't have a very high damage rating. Of course, the plasma turret is also nesacary.

      These ideas are great!!!!

      PS look for a plug-in named "plasma stuff" sometime soon!!!

      PPS If you max out the inacuracy on a fixed gun it will fire in all directions. Maybe you could use this for those weapons that fire all around the ship.

      Well, I am working on two plugs already... but if you need any help, Samauri, you can e-mail me. I would be interested in making this compatable with EVO Enhancer.

      Here's how I thought a gunpod would look. Samurai: Is it acceptable in this shape? Can I get on and draw a launcher for it?

      Hmmm... Pretty good Voinian Ambassador. You could those as something like a defense pod for systems or for defense fleets. How about this; a heavily armored thing packed with weapons but slower than a Voinian cruiser used for system and planetary defense?

      Uh, yeah, it looks cool VA. I'm concerned about how it would look scaled down to sprite size, though. A launcher graphic would be... good. I have a gunpod PICT and a Launcher PICT, but methinks they don't look (up close) as good as that. Go for it. If you get the set done, I'd love to include it as the graphic for the pod.

      The Decay missile is done, as well as the flare launcher. However, for the flares, we need to know what guided missiles will be decoyed by it. I think this place is the best place to talk of this. Propose your ideas, then Samurai and me will decide.
      All will be send to you in 10 minutes, Samurai

      I'm thinking Hunter, Pursuit, Needle, Sideswiper, and SAD.

      No no! Not Hunter missles!! Their only good aspect is that they can't be jammed! They're slow speed, slow turning, and have average payload.. They're also heavy!!

      So I think the Hunter Missle should remian un-jammable...

      What about a shield regeneration device that uses fuel to regenerate shields. It could be selected like a secondary weapon. Then when you use it, it would drain lare amounts of fuel but shields would come back exceptionally fast. Say 100 units of fuel could bring back 25 in shield shipyard units back. This way it would make it easier to get back into the battle but if you took too much fuel it could get you in a pickle.

EVO doesn't allow rear-firing beams, but you can make a turret beam with blind spots to the front and sides. give it a smallish impact too. and second trigger, of course.

      **

      Another idea from niven's man-kzin wars could be a ramfield. It would provide excellent shielding and gather a small amount of fuel, I'm not sure how it would work, but it sounds good. Also, for a defence fleet, have small station picts and have them be solar power stations that can fire a really powerful beam across the system, but have a turn of 1 or 2 at the most.

      Maybe I need to make the solar panels brighter (and the detail on them is wasted, so I'll delete that and reduce the render times). Anyway, do we use this gunpod?

      This raises a key point, Alien. If Samurai isn't very diligent, he'll create a plug which allows players access to a whole mess of new equipment, which doesn't ever get used against him. I think a good way to ensure game balance is to make the equipment available to some AI ships as well.

      Samurai, would you consider:
      (list=a)
      () adding a few pers resources that use the new renagade equipment?
      (      ) equipping traffic in the region of the new station with new ships which use these weapons?
      (*) equipping the station's defense fleet with these new ships?
      (/list=a)
      See you around the galaxy, Captain...
