    • Differences in the way we play...


      What were the main changes in EV evolution? I get the feeling that not all of us are playing the latest version. Also, I've never seen EV 1.0.1, 1.0.3, or 1.0.4. What were they like?

      Expert advice preferred. Have a nice day! 🙂 🙂

      The biggest change was the addition of plugins in version 1.0.1. The only way to edit 1.0 was by altering the data files.

    • If you check the doc on your folder of ev, it will list all the changes from the last version.

    • Hey, what do ya know! I found it! But, I'm still curious as to what version we're all playing. I had 1.0.2, but now I have 1.0.5.

      I've always had 1.0.5. I've been playing for about 3 1/2 years.

    • I think everyone on here probably has 1.0.5 by now, though like I said, I've only had it for about a month. I spent a long time on 1.0.4.

    • The main thing that I can remember is that in some earlier version, you could destroy asteroids. Man, I remember how i used to use them as target practice when I first got gasp a PROTON CANNON. 😛

      I've been using 1.0.5 for years, except that I use the EV graphics file from 1.0.5b1 because for some reason, the final version of 1.0.5 ~deleted~ some of the new graphics and replaced them with the old 1.0.4 versions, and I like the new graphics.

    • You should upgrade. A question. Do you have macaddict?

    • I played version 1.0 for around two years, and like David Arthur already said, version 1.1 contained the largest new features. I've used all the versions of Escape Velocity, and as logic would say, the latest version is the best...

      As you probably know, version 1.0.5 introduced re-textured graphics for all of the ships except the aliens, but some of the ships (notably the Confederate cruiser and frigate) still use the 1.0.4 graphics for their ingame sprites. This is annoying, since 1.0.5 replaced the rather unattractive blue dots on the wings with nice blue star insignia. However, beta 1 of 1.0.5 has the retextured graphics for all of the sprites, so I use the 1.0.5b1 graphics file with the 1.0.5 engine.

      I'm afraid that (as far as I know) you don't, unless you beta tested 1.0.5. Sorry!

      If you have the demo cd that has total conversions, it has 1.0.5 on it. The cd is a pink color with a penguin on it. It also has a plug-in on it.

    • Would it be possible for me to download the old versions? Just to see what they were like?
