    • I've got this great idea....


      ... for an EVO mission plug based on the anime series Outlaw Star. You could play it from either the Gene Starwind side, the MacDougall brothers side, the Space Forces side, or the Pirates side. Only problem is, this would be rather complicated and I've only made simple ship and outfit plugins before. Also, it would require new ship graphics and I have no clue how to go about working in grappler combat (some combination of tractor beam and forklift with grappler arm graphics?). If anyone is interested in doing this from either the developer or graphics side, let me know. This would be an incredible EVO challenge and I'm looking for people who are up to this sort of thing. Post or email any questions/interest. No need to be versed on Outlaw Star. I can supply any info needed on that and write the actual storyline.

    • I know absolutely nothing about the series in question, so I'm afraid I can't help. Best of luck to you if you decide to do anything with your idea.

    • I've got some scratch files started on the EVO Outlaw Star plug-in. If Platypus is willing to handle the missions, then the other needs at present are someone with proficiency at weapons to handle the concept of adding Grappler Arm combat to the EVO system and a graphics person to handle the Grappler Arm sprites. If nobody offers on the ship graphics, I can go to Meowx Shipyard to handle that (currently using some of their public ship graphics to just hold in place on the plug anyway). The weapon Grappler Arms will be the toughest challenge. That will have to be done so only ramming damage can be accomplished unless they use the projectile weapon Grappler Gun. I've never done (or even seen anyone else having done) a ram-damage weapon on an EVO ship, but I'm sure it's possible. The scratch plug with at least the basic resources inserted if not completed for ID reference along with a file showing the basic mission path at present for the Gene Starwind track of the storyline is available at (url="http://"http://24.41.35.150/outlawstar1.1a.sit")http://24.41.35.150/outlawstar1.1a.sit(/url).

      By the way, for those who think they can't help because they don't know the series, that's not really so much of a problem. I can get DVD grabs showing the graphics as well as detailed episode guides for anyone who has never seen the series.
