**It probably never will be, realistically. Battle For Sol was originally a webstory on this board, you should be able to find it a few pages back if you look. I can't remember how far back it is. At one point, David Arthur and I were collaborating on a plugin to add all the ships invented for the webstory to the game, and possibly a storyline to match as well. But the webstory suddenly came to a premature end, and got very difficult to track at the end, with a lot of new technology added, and work on the plug mostly got abandoned. It's possible that I'll go back and finish it someday, I still have all the old stuff...

Someday, if I get the time, I'll consider designing my own plug version of the Battle for Sol, and release it to the EV community. Demand seems rather high at the moment.

Well, actually, I'm working on three separate fairly major projects mysel, so my free time is a little limited right now.
Luckily for BFS III players, one of those projects involves them. ------------------

Correct! Just remember that all those "minor little projects" are for the EV and EVO community's own good.

As silly as it may seem, ares' Legion graphic is just as important as any other graphic. You've got to do things one by one, and that's the way I do it...

You've got the "sometimes" part right... Besides, who says ares' website is "a few?"

Well, you're probably now aware that I'm working on a Confederation set.
Just remember that I devote much of my time to making graphics for the EV and EVO communities. It can be tough and frustrating sometimes, but the results are that you guys use and enjoy them. My parents have even asked me to start charging money because of how much time and effort I spend daily with EV / EVO related graphics, but I don't for the sake of you guys.

So I guess your point is: Saber Studios isn't important whatsoever just because there are so many free graphic sites out there?

Wow, I ignored this topic for a while and it turns out I'm in the center of a major debate.
Okay, maybe I'm not in the center, and there's no major debate...
Captain Skyblade, I greatly appreciate the work you have done for my website, but like he said, you can make a lot more people happy if you do the graphics for Rak than the graphics for my site. According to my hit tracker account, I have approximatly (sp?) 5 regular viewers of my site. Work on what will help out a lot of people, not five.
Saying that Saber Studios is not important is... well, not true. In a community this small (and it is small in comparison to a lot of online communities) every contributer is an important as the next. My site would suck without skyblade, and so would your webstory. Granted, there are quite a few free graphic sites on the net, but how many do customized orders for you, and talk to you every day? And take as much static and criticism as you are giving Skyblade right now?

Heh, that's one of the more irritating things about making free graphics and being a regular poster...
Rak wishes (along with other members) for me to design graphics for the Dreden Rebellion. Normally, I'd have no problem with this, but there are many more advantages to doing general graphics and sets. With the Dreden Rebellion vessels, they will only be used in BFS III, then all my work goes down the drain. With general graphics for websites such as yours, they are used constantly. The same goes for EV and EVO graphic sets... They aren't a one time deal.
Thanks for pointing a few things out, I appreciate it.
Remember, five regular visitors is much better than four.
