      I just rented the animated film Titan: AE... It was pretty cool. Very entertaining with some beautiful animation. But what struck me was that it could easily be adapted as a total coversion for EV or EVO... Has anybody else seen this film? Any thoughts?

      Ok movie. It was written by one of my favorite authors originally. But the soundtrack is great! Lit, Urge, Creed...
      About the plug, a good idea. I might do that after I finish The Dark Beyond, but that could be awhile.

      Cool film...though it has a pretty predictable plotline. How would you adapt it to a plugin, though? Films usually don't translate very well, except maybe in universe. Movie plots are pretty tough to make a game out of. So, how would you do it? If you can figure out a good way to pull it off, it sounds cool...

      About the soundtrack...yeah, it suited the feel of the movie well, I'll grant it that. However, the only piece of it I've found I like listening to is "Over my head"...I'm not a fan (boy, that's an understatement ;)) of today's music...(end spamful rant)

      I love todays music, except teeny-boppers. You could adapt it using the whole storyline, but you could be a diferent character, like the captain of the ship. You could join with the blue energy things(like in the movie) or the wolf-looking things.

      Well, I figured that since there are so many civilizations presented in the film, and each civilization has a different relationship with every other civilization, that would lend itself to the EV format.

      You have the blue-energy things, which are very powerful and stand-offish.... just plain mean. Kind of a Voinian thing, only more insideous. Very tough ships.

      The humans in their drifter colonies... space stations built out of lots of old ships cobbled together... All of the human space-craft would be old and junky... held together by spit and and a prayer. They really don't have any "territory" seeing as how their home planet was destroyed and they were scattered across the universe... Every so often, you find a colony circling around some second-rate planet, scrambling to survive. What I think would make this incredibly interesting is that you don't start off on Earth like in EV and EVO... There is no Earth!

      You start off as a lowly human leaving the drifter colony for the first time. As you start to move up in the universe, you become aware of the search for the Titan (I don't know how a search would be presented in a plug... as I've said before, I don't have any technical experience)... and you can decide whether to help with the search, ignore it and make fun of your naive fellow humans, or even help the blue energy guys destroy it.

      Is it possible to create a system or planet once something has been accomplished in a mission? At the end, if the Titan is found and protected, there is a New Earth...

      Any thoughts?

      First, in EV, you start at Levo, not Earth. Yes you could make New Earth by using visbits. The system would only appear after a certain mission bit is set or cleared. The search for the Titan could be a huge series of missions, the last one using the Titan as a ship and you could battle a blue-thing fleet for it. Then you could replace that system with one with New Earth using visbits. It's possible.
