T = Ethernet connection
ATMOS is a "future" software company who is currently working on their flagship project 'NOVA'. NOVA is a new EV universe with over 500 systems... as opposed to 350-400 default systems of EVO.
It also adds much more resources than EVO did.
EV < EVO < NOVA
Got it?

RIP THE SYSTEM!
Look the only reason I said my connection was as fast as a T1 line is because I had something to back it up with. Want to test your true connection go to (url="http://"http://www.computingcentral.com/topics/bandwitdh/speedtest.asp")www.computingcentral.com/topics/bandwitdh/speedtest.asp(/url)

Bigger is not always better, New Horizons was huge, but wasn't all that good. Several have attempted to make monstrous plugs/replacement scenarios, and ended up churning out things that weren't all that good. Personally, I've found that very few large plugs/scenarios to be all that great, the only ones that come to mind at all are EVGE and Pale, simply because what was in it had a purpose, and didn't try to see just how huge they could make it. Just because you can put a certain number of recourses into it doesn't mean you should.
As far as EVMP, I highly doubt that they'd tell one person about it before telling the public, since you're not that special. And if they wanted it leaked, they could've left that to a beta tester or two. Really stupid april fool's joke if you ask me.

empire, empire2 galactic scourge...they are also some other good ones for EV.
Actually, Galactic Scourge kinda sucked, at least it had SOME plot, don't know anything about Empire/2, and I agree with Loki that New Horizons sucked.
My ratings:
EV:
New Horizons; Graphics; terrible. Sounds; terrible. Plot; what plot?
Galactic Scourge; Graphics; very good. Sounds; average. Plot; bad.
Empire/2; I know nothing of the sort.
Quantumire; Graphics; sorta funky, in a bad way. Sounds; very good. Plot; poor.
Star Wars Special Edition; Graphics; excellent. Sounds; poor quality. Plot; almost none.
SW2 1.0.3; Graphics; excellent. Sounds; poor quality. Plot; horrible.
SW3; Graphics; OK. Sounds; poor quality. Plot; none.
EVO:
Frozen Heart; Graphics; excellent. Sounds; excellent. Plot; excellent.
Femme Fatale; Graphics; excellent. Sounds; excellent. Plot; excellent.
SW2 1.0.3 for Override; see EV version, except full of bugs.
Star Trek Plug (hey, I have to say something about the plug I'm working on. :)); Graphics; Kwanza is the god of Mechanisto. Sounds; good. Plot; none as of yet.
Nova; looks good from screenshots, but I've yet to see it. 
Now, rate plugs for yourself for a change.

grins My entire problem is that I'm caught in the chaos of being in between having a life and not having a life. It feels like a black hole is ripping me apart at the seams.

big difference here: 150K = 1500k... big K = kilo bytes , little = kili bits. so my connection is still 10x better!!
this whole evmp thing was an april fools day prank... well, some people bought it!! ha ha ha!!!

oh, and your little bandwidth test - i came up with 1600kbps which = 196.2Kbytes /sec which falls in the T1 category, fyi.

Here's the whole story. Cable is capable of 500kbps to 2.5mbps. The only problem is that bandwidth is shared with neighbors so it's not always as fast as a T1. You should've seen me playing Quake at 3:00 yesterday, pretty laggy. A T1 can usually stay at 1.5mbps, so it's a little slower than cable's max, but more safe and reliable. DSL stays between 600kbps and 1mbps. The main problem with cable is security issues with nosy neighbors and reliability from your provider. D*mn, I wish we didn't need to get our's from Bresnan Communications (very unreliable) and could've gotten service from AT&T; instead. Anyways, all of this stuff comes from MacAddicts 43 and 45.
