As some of you may know, I've been working on founding a building a website devoted to the new Corsair Development team. As of now, I just got the website on the web, and the there are only a few links currently working. (The "Escape Velocity" link is fully functional) I put about two to six hours into the website every day, so keep checking it out for updates. The Corsair Developers will be a group of graphics creators and developers who make plugins for all the Escape Velocity games, and currently our flagship product will be the upcoming total conversion: "The Dreden War." We are as of now looking for developers to join us, and in order to do so we request a plugin or graphic created by you along with a description of the attachment. (Carno, I heard you were interested...I won't need a graphic or plugin from you since I've seen your work. ) Diddlysquat is a member and current head of the plugin development department, while I head up the graphics department. Please visit our site, give us feedback: What does it need? What does it NOT need? And if you're interested in joining the team, please contact me as sirpatrick@tmgmedia.net. Thanks!

Just because i love exploring new websites, i have some feedback for you.
This is one of the most organized Escape Velocity sites I have ever seen. The buttons and links look cool. It is very simple and self explanatory. I think the only thing i think you could change is that you could get it ONLINE ;). Of course, i think it would be great if you could supply info about the alien ship and cruiser. I am sure that graphics are available and you can always hack yourself into the pilot seat for a good description. It may not be legal but it will be interesting reading. Oh and one other thing. Don't forget to give a GOOD write-up about my trusty gunship.
As for this new plug (is it a plug?) The Dreded War, i like the look of it and i would like you to keep me updated (Rebelcmg1@aol.com) if at all possible.

Niiiice... That is a very well made site (or will be one when it is finsihed). I love the layout and overall design of it. I hope it is fully up soon.

A few words: 1. Very nice
2. Is there an IFF decoder in the "EV outfits" section? I didn't find it, but
maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

As soon as the "Dreden War" plugin enters version 0.2, I'll put up a small news area on the website, explaining how the plug is coming along. As far as it is coming at the present, it has a long way to go, but we will finish it.

Just as a reminder, anyone who joins the "Corsair Developers" will get to participate in the production of the "Dreden War." (You could do anything from writting mission strings to making graphics...Whatever you're good at)

Thanks for the comments!

Gunboat? Oh! No no no, i mean my trusty gunship! You know, the Miranu Gunship? my ship of choice! :rolleyes: And as for that Dreden plug. I will consider it. I am fairly good at designing original weapons. Not graphics, but weapons. If you ever wish to explore any of them i would be happy to show you. My best was the Energy dispersal field generator for EV. I never perfected it so it involved purchasing about 32000 proton cannons but that could be edited. It would fire from every part of the ship and would swirl around the ship creating a spherical forcefield that would then begin to fire out of the front section and home in on a target. The only flaw was the the shield only protected the deployer from the targeted ship. Of course targets change. Anyway, if you ever need help with some crazy designs, i would always be willing to see what i can do.

Wow, sounds like you have some skills with "crazy ideas..." We could use someone who can do stuff like that!

Thanks Diddly. I was hoping you would like it. I'm thinking or removing the rollovers though, since I've already received complaints of java errors. As for Cap'n Hector, he flies a Rapier.

Ah, sorry, I haven't seen Cap'n Hector in a while, I've just been playing EVO (which I've registered so no Cap'n Hector!).

Hehe...That's alright. I don't know why, but there are many people who seem to think that Cap'n Hector is either flying a Lightning or a Clipper in Escape Velocity.

Eh, the Clipper is my favorite ship in EV (well, apart from the Kestrel). And if I was making EV I'd put Hector in a Clipper.

I like the Clipper too, but it is very poorly armed compaired to the Rapier. I would keep Hector in the Rapier or put him in a Lightning. Or if I were really mad at him, I would put him in a Bulk Freighter or Light Freighter.

Yeah, bulk freighter would be the best. But the Clipper does look really neat if nothing else.

Actually one thing that I wish was what happened once you registered is that you could shoot Hector out of the sky! I'd like it at least.

Bulk Freighter... Heh If the Clipper had around 35 to 45 shields, I would call it a formidable fighter. It does pack some pretty tough firepower, though. I love those protons and javelins...

Somewhere I heard that a member here was making a plugin where you could blow up Captain Hector. Many people were excited, since they were still extrememly angry with Hector (in Override) for taking all their hard-earned money.

I was just looking over the site and specifically the mambers page, and I noticed something. All the titles are, well, corporate. I mean there's nothing wrong with head of design, etc. it's just that it lacks zing. So if possible, could my title be "Plugin (or software) Wizard"? It certainly has more pizzaz. Just my 2˘
