      Here's my problem, there aren't enough strand ships to fill the various class types for Ares. Not much way to explain like this, so here's a better way:

      Name - class

      Crescent Fighter (fighter)
      Arada (cruiser)
      Renegade Arada (gunship)
      <--Empty Spot--> (heavy destroyer)
      Crescent Warship (carrier)
      <--Empty Spot--> (transport)
      <--Empty Spot--> (engineer pod)
      <--Empty Spot--> (assault transport)

      Azdara (fighter)
      Azdgari Arada (cruiser)
      <--Empty Spot--> (gunship)
      <--Empty Spot--> (heavy destroyer)
      Azdgari Warship (carrier)
      <--Empty Spot--> (transport)
      <--Empty Spot--> (engineer pod)
      <--Empty Spot--> (assault transport)

      Zidagar Fighter (fighter)
      <--Empty Spot--> (cruiser)
      <--Empty Spot--> (gunship)
      <--Empty Spot--> (heavy destroyer)
      Zidara (carrier)
      <--Empty Spot--> (transport)
      <--Empty Spot--> (engineer pod)
      <--Empty Spot--> (assault transport)

      <--Empty Spot--> (fighter)
      Igadzra Arada (cruiser)
      <--Empty Spot--> (gunship)
      <--Empty Spot--> (heavy destroyer)
      Iadzra (carrier)
      <--Empty Spot--> (transport)
      <--Empty Spot--> (engineer pod)
      <--Empty Spot--> (assault transport)

      So how should I solve this? well... There are a bunch of different ways to do it;
      I could use Miranu ships to fill some spots (transport, engineer pod, assault transport, mb gunship) that would solve my problem partially, and I could use ships that only appear in mission strings (or as a përs) to fill the other ones. (like, say, enhanced Azdaras)
      Or I could make "new" ships by changing the surfaces on existing ones (e.g. Igadzra Lazara, Zidagar Arada, etc.)
      Oooorrrr... I could make completely new ships, might be interesting, but its alot more work for me...

      So what should I do? Try and expand Miranu ships and mission/përs ships to fit my needs? Change surfaces on existing ones? Make completely new ones? a combination of the above? Or perhaps something totally different?

      thoughts? ideas? suggestions? plans for taking over the wor-errr... I mean...

      These are my suggestions. Unfortunately, I can only think of some things you might do with the Miranu. Get rid of the Renegade Arada, and put Miranu Gunship in it's place. Put the Lazira in the Heavy Destroyer slot. Have the Miranu Courier be the engineer pod. Upgrade the Miranu Heavy Transport and make it be the transport. Finally, make the Miranu Transport a bit better, then put that in the assault transport slot.

      As for the Strands, I would suggest looking through some plugins that make new strand ships and using some of the better graphics from them (if the plugin creators don't mind).

      I have Infini-D 4.0 so I can re-surface (or texture, if you prefer) whatever ships I want, and make new ones that look strikingly similar to the ones in EVO.

      Oh, and aparently I forgot to post a link to the (url="http://"http://evo.iwarp.com/AO/shots.html")screen shots(/url). oops.

      Oh, and: change the Igazra (the ship is spelled I G A Z R A) from Carrier to Heavy Destroyer (as it does not carry any ships).

      Actually, I would suggest making new ships that have the same style, but don't look very strikingly similar as the old ones.

      doops, typo. happens alot. Oh, and keep in mind carrier is just the class, the ship can be anything you want. (you start out in Heavy Destroyers, so thats why I didn't make them carriers) anywho I can change the classes whenever I want, so no biggie.

      F-25 and Beyond the Crescent are a couple of the most popular plug-ins made from the existing EVO universe, some ships from there would be cool.

      Beyond the Crescent didn't add any ships did it? (aside from the mission related ones)

      and personally I didn't like F-25s graphics (well, not so much that, as it was the combination of top down and angeld views. I actually liked most of the graphics) plus its weapons are a bit to funky for my taste, and I'd have to get permission.
