And FYI, you'll be able to fight the existing Ares races online.

Sounds fine. And the fighting the existing Ares races sounds nice.

I see. When I first heard about this, I thought it was going to be strictly exactly EVO. I see, now. The disabled thing is: for a ship's destroy sequence, it creates another version of itself with max speed of 0 and a low accel, so it slowly drifts to a halt. Friendly ships could then be set up so they could "board" disabled ships, and capture them.

Sounds fine to me, too, I was just under the impression that this was going to be exactly like EVO in all ways except the interface.

I see. I guess I've just been making plugs too long to consider patience or wills. And I can see how not having the models would be difficult (although you could copy the pict resources from EV Graphics into a Photoshop document, then change the background color, and then pop them right back into Ares...) And what do you mean by enough space for races? You can have as many races as you want in a plug...

It was posted by somebody talking about your plug. It's in the comments for Slug's most recent picture.

The person that posted in the image gallery said that UE Cruisers and Voinian Dreadnaughts were replacements for Heavy Destroyers. Although I can see how having the origional Ares races in net play would be bad for making your own ship classes.

Sounds good, although the Emalgha would be nice. Although you have pretty much everybody, so it'd be fine.

ASI is Axis Softwar Integrated, a small group of people working on plugs for Ares and EVO. Their two main projects that everybody's been hearing about are an Ares plug for EVO (exact opposite of your project) and Starlance, a very large TC that's not going to come out for a very, very, very, long time, by the sounds of it. They were going to release a plug called "Before They Sailed" on new years, but Hera corrupted it, and it sounds like they didn't have any recent backups, and the project's been put on hold, although it's close to being scrapped.
