    • 2 new plugs.


      I my am making 2 new plugs Tell me if this is has been done already.

      1. The leathe/Cydonian war has rage on for years now. Leathe has side with the cofeds and the rebellion with cydonian. Leathe and cydonain have new cruisers that are just as powerful as any other. Sence the confeds came out with new lasers the ships are more powerful thatn ever. Now who will win...

      2. The Confed and Rebellion conflict was going on for 20 years...But in the shadows the pirates were biulding up a huge force of new ships With the aliens on there side and the Rebs And cofed weak the struck a blow so hard that the universe is in a state of choas...Now who will win.

      Btw how do you draw new ships( I know that that was a supid question just tell me)

    • Well, the Lethe/Cydonian war has been covered countless times - most notably in Pale.

      Your second idea sounds somewhat more promising, but it needs polish.

      However, you have greater issues to deal with.
      First off, have you ever made a plugin? It ain't easy. These projects sound rather grand and a bit formidable for the first-timer. Tackle something simple first, like a plugin that adds only a few missions, ships, and weapons.
      Furthermore, making graphics for EV is a complex project at best; one doesn't simple 'draw' them. If this is your first time, I'd reccomend you go with freely available graphics. Good sources are (url="http://"http://www.meowx.com")Meowx Design(/url) and (url="http://"http://www.grand-novice.com")Grand Novice Software(/url). If you feel up to actually creating your own graphics, good, cheap programs are the free version of Strata3D and the shareware Mechanisto. Commercial ones include programs like Bryce, Infini-D (used for EV's and EVO's graphics), Carrara, and Lightwave (which was used for EV3's graphics).

      The developer's board is probably a good place for advice. I reccomend you ask around there and read the plugin FAQs.

    • Number 2 sounds almost exactly like Cobalt Project, a EV plug by me that became vaporware because I could't get any graphics for it. Good luck.
