Well that was an odd way for a plugin to die...

Unusual, certainly. But death by internet is not unprecedented.

I'm liking what I'm seeing. Keep up the good work guys- all three of you are involved now, right?

I e-mailed him a noose.

We're making good progress - and MadFax is indeed in with us on the project now. He's been a great help so far.

7... oh.

It's a big file. You have no idea how long it takes Stuffit to compress a noose.

Well make sure the compressed file is smaller than 5MB... Or else I won't get it...

Holy Flurking Shmit! That's awesome! Don't go saying "multiplayer EV" too loudly, you'll have a swarm of noobs who have no idea what Ares is demanding features that the Ares engine can't handle. Very cool, I look forward to when it's finished.

Heh, the project will continue to go by "Ares: Override" until released. Then once it's a finished product, I'll start saying "multiplayer Override" a little more loudly.

Hmmmm. This is just my personal opinion, but I think that either the Zidara's too big, or the Azdgari Warship's too small. The Zidara looks "bigger", and it is meant to be a "pocket warship".

Not that that makes the pictures any less über, of course.

Read the Override specs - the Zidara is only 10 meters shorter than the Azdgari Warship. The sprite size for the Azdgari Warship is bigger than the Zidara, so we're right on the money. I personally think the Zidara would look better in smaller form, but if you go by the numbers it's perfect.

A hint, then. Don't go by the numbers.

I've really been doing a good mix of both, actually...

Go with a mix. Increased scale is good, but the overriding aim is for it to look good. And play good, obviously.

Sounds good to me and the majority of onlookers (I'm sure). Override - in my opinion - tended to be the weakest of all the EV games, so touching up appearance and performance couldn't harm anything.

Well, Personally, I think that it would be a little cooler if you used the UE ships you made, and work on some 'better' ships. Sure, the EVO graphics are original, but they're outdated... Perhaps once you finish this, you could do a mod of it, with the quality of the re-makes of the ones you did for those who want higher graphic quality.

I think magma ships in a similar plug like this would also work, but not as well.

I'll eagerly await the release, nevertheless
