And do be sure to include the U.E.S. Valkerye and the 12th Destroyer Brigade!

It would mean its more realistic, but without UE Carriers, and probably (even worse) Hunter Missiles UE doesnt stand a chance. Destroyers can win Frigates just because of the Hunters, and are far inferior to Cruisers. I have seen Cruiser vs. Destroyer battles, and the Destroyer dies fast. It needs 2 Destroyers to win. So what Im supposed to use, my speed to do tactics? Rockets are powerful but come with horrible accuracy. Also include the U.E.S. Inconvertible. It comes in the end of the Battle of Sol story. In the story its called U.E.S Ariane and the story says it was loaded with max Rockets and Hunters. In EVO, you can see what this max was. 100 Rockets from 3 launchers and 4 Hunters. It has 5 UE fighters, and a insane 5000% shield mod.

Actually, I believe Hunters were available, but for some reason they weren't used in the WTVC story. But if you really need proof of the power of Destroyers armed only with Rockets and Blaze turrets, see (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum8/HTML/003854-4.html")here(/url) for a demonstration of said power and my tactical genius.

Ah, good ol' When the Voinians came... Along with Reality, I rank it to be the best story ever made. I didnt read it because I thought it was so long at 6 pages. Which is ironic, since I ploughed through 15 pages of Chapter 1, then 14 pages of Chapter 2. I really should reserve a day (or afteroon) to read it.

Ok, so I heard that this will be a multiplayer game only. But if the races have been switched then wouldn't I be able to play through the single player campaign with the EVO species?

No, at least no really. I'm sure you could play through the single player levels and most of the ships would be EVO but the levels would be entirely different just because the vast differences between the Ares races and EVO races.

What are the differences between Ares races and EVO races?

Well theres the humans, then the crazy bastards who conquer everyone, then the guys who love peace and trade, so its obviously nothing like EV:O.

Cade. Download Ares and play it. It will save many questions, many answers, and much time needed to be doing other things, like playing Ares.

Why? Its not that interesting that I want to play it, just asking of curiousity. That I am interested of this projcect at all is because it finally makes EVO multiplayer. Much time needed to do other things like playing Ares? Hey, thats a oxymoron! It doenst save time to play it, if I play already!

It will save the time of the developers, some of the questions you have asked would be answered by yourself if you just played through Ares. Besides if you ever plan to play Ares: Override yoiu'll have to know how to play Ares first.

Just for the record, I've been very short on time lately (as stated in the progress log). Ares: Override is still an on-going project however, and will be completed sooner or later. I'm going to finish up my Override-version of this plug first (basically the same type of plug as MAGMA - graphics enhancer) and then dig into finishing AO.

A couple of days ago me and Captain Skyblade played the first finished net mission which is titled "Test Of Skills: Fighter Duals" and it was the most fun I've had an Ares net game in a long time.

It lets you select from all fighters? Mmm Azdara or Zidagar Fighter drool It could be fun strafing and so having a lenghty shootfest, but Ive never flown fighters myself. The only one was Azdara, because I heard on the boards how awesome its regeneration was and how fast it was. Even so, I added Dospect and resulted to standoff tactics, wherether it was Turncoats or Frigates.

Lol. Some movies showing your fights. Thanks for showing for the first time how it looks not only in pictures, but in action! Voinian Heavy Fighter and Krait brawl. But it doesnt make sense they appear in movie later. Did you start a new game to record Kraits?

------------------

Yes, each movie was from a different game. This first was from the level "Fighter Duels" and the others were from a testing level that is just around for the fun of the developers and balancing the races to each other.

Cool movies. Keep up the good work, guys.. It looks like you've got an awesome thing going here.

I think that you don't see many love stories in EV simply because the engine isn't quite geared towards that. What are you going to do, keep meeting your significant other in a bar (or, with Nova, the Outfitter, Shipyard, or Trade Center) and have questions like "Will you go out on a date with me?" | Yes/No | "Great, pick me up on <DST> in a month and we'll have dinner."?

The Voinian Heavy Fighters toasting each other and the endless strafing by Kraits were majorly cool.
