    • Frozen heart


      Hey, whenever I accept the mission to explore the Alien wreck through hyper-mail, the game freezes my computer and forces me to restart. I have taken all the other plugs out, increased EVO's memory to 40 mb, and tried it on different planets with different ships. I have EVO 1.0.1 (from the CD), and that is the only thing that i can think of that would mess it up! but i had this plug-in on my computer a long time ago, and it worked then. I don;t have the tachyon ship yet, and i am thinking that it wants me to have the ship to do this mission. Am i on the right track to fixing this problem, and is there any way around it?

    • there is no way around it, what missions have you done?

    • Frozen Heart has that bug with me.

      I got around it, I think, by turning off sound/video and not rushing through text.

    • Oh, and if you're a Frozen Heart fan, I could tell you a little money making
      trick if you want.

      Tell me if you want to know.

      Incorrect. The instructions are in the Read Me file.

    • Well, I've heard of a few bugs in this plug-in. I've nenver played it, but I've heard that asteroids chase you, this bug, and other vairous complaints here and there. Martin Turner - You are the creator correct? Why don't you make an update to your plug-in?

    • Doesn't anyone want to know my trick?

      It isn't a cheat. It's the equivalent of a good trade route or a good ship
      equipping.

    • Esponer- off topic, but I'm a Ziddie too, they seem to be sparce.. I mod a Ziddie web board, not much activiy though...

      Stud Beefpile- don't say bad things about Martin Turner. Bad thinks will happen to you.. and if you have'nt played Frozen Heart, you have no right to complain! Play it, THEN complain (if you can! 🙂 )

      Paladin- is it the one about buying a G2 Prosector? and selling it, getting money?

      Because it doesn't have bugs! (QT is an EVO bug, and instructions are in the readme for dealing with it if your machine can't hack it)

      Stud, why don't you just play the plugin and then comment. It's true that there are a lot of questions on this board about Frozen Heart - it was designed to be, and is, more or less the most challenging EV or EVO plugin, and it has many missions that are almost impossible. But all of them are possible.

    • No, it's a very simple trick:

      Kill pirates around the Polaris (something like that) system.

      Get a high rating with the Rigellians.

      Go around to Rigel and find Trader Luxury Liners.

      Board and get 1 million credits easily!

      Yes, asteroids do chase you, but they're easy to destroy but a pain in the ass to be chased by especially since after you've destroyed most of them, most hyper in and this is a big pain in the ass when you're trying to board a diabled ship and you'r flying a shuttle (this is a reference to a mission in Femme Fatal, but I'm not complaining). Now this may seem to be an undesirable trait, but its not. Martin Turner has made the GREATEST two TC's ever for EVO, and these little things he's put in like asteroids that chase you, blackholes, and plagues are all part of the challenge. Yes, some of the missions are nere impossible, but if you are a highly skilled pilot who knows what to do, then they are possible, but with a lot of practice and planning. IMO theres nothing wrong with The Frozen Heart and Femme Fatal, except in TFH after I take the human rights violation report to Earth, and they say to wait several moths, I go around doing my business with the mission still intact, but nothing ever becomes of it. Now most likely I've just gotta find what I've gotta do, but maybe there's something wrong with the plug, I don't know, but like I said, the problem is left to be solved by me.

      Cheers,
