Recently I was just surfing the web, looking at EV pages, and came upon (url="http://"http://www.rit.edu/~mjr8305/Escape-Velocity.html")this(/url) page.

I was amazed to see THIS:

Is this a splash screen from v 1.0.0 or something? Did this guy make it himself? More importantly, where can I get a full-sized one?

(edit) If you look closely, you can see Kestrels, Executive Transports, Bulk Freighters, what appears to be a Corvette, and some sort of blue fighter that doesn't appear in the game... alright, time to calm down. (/edit)

EVula's Edit: I fixed the UBB code for the link, as it was rather botched.

Dang Feds...

------------------

I remember that guy, and that plugin. That's from a LONG time ago...

Anyway, yeah, that was the splash screen for the early days of EV (before it was released, I believe). And those blue fighters are Patrol Ships.

I first saw that image in an Ambrosia Times preview of Escape Velocity, from back when it was an upcoming game. I think it was from a pre-release version, and I'd have liked it if they'd kept it.

Why? It doesn't make any sense. Bulk freighters and Executive transports alongside civilian and Confederate warships in what appears to be an attack fleet?

It only looks like an attack fleet. My guess is that it's a convoy. And, um, Zax, is there a higher-resolution blowup available, or was it never released?

I just downloaded the existing pic and blew it up by 300%. Given a lot of time and patience I could probably have made it look better, but I don't have any patience

Hmm.. those were the days. How many remember the first layout? It didn't even have a webboard And then that lovely yellow thing came with the spider on top (I've saved the spider btw.) But was that splash really from a preview? I seem to remember it from the earlier versions (and I didn't hook up until 1.0.2)..

Ps. EVula. You must be the most patient human being in the world sticking with this board after so long

I can't quite remember the very first layout before there was a web board but I do remember the old spider. In fact, I've been looking for that for a long time. (hint hint) As for EVula... I don't think it's so much a matter of patience as it is pride. His ego must be fed and he's got the EV community in his jaws =P. evula.com!

More along the lines of what AJ said, but I've stuck around mainly because I don't have anything better to do.

Nope, it's had the same splash screen through all it's versions. I can testify, as I just installed he original version to see.
