Ā a Wormhole that would take to one of 6 random locations
good idea, but a wormhole won't do that.
Ā a Hyperlink that could transport a ship from one end of the Galaxy to the other for example - available after completing certain exploration missions
good idea, like in BTC but more across the universe?
Ā many more progressive changes in the Goverments - for example changes whereby a pilot could help overthrow a despot, change a Pirate base to an Ally, discover and help to settle new Planets or Regions - one of the things I really like about New Horizons is that there are progressive changes in the Universe
possable, but this is mainly an engine update
Ā the ability to discover and then help to settle a planet ( or system ) whereby the graphics gradually change upon landing as the society progresses - a variety of different results could be incorporated according to the pilots actions - a) peaceful settlement , civil war, c) failure due to the actions of the player/pilot ( not supplying resources or failing missions etc )
again, possable, but yet agian mainly an engine update
Ā a wider variety of ships, weapons and effects
i always though EVO had to many ships/weapons, i just think it's anoying to have to re-outfit your ship every time you go to a diffrent place in the gallaxy
Ā many more hidden systems that can only be reached after completing specific missions
like the nebulea missions? cool, but yet again mainly an engine update, look for plugins that do that
Ā Time Travel - forward and backward in the same universe and into alternative Universes
time travel is only theoraticly possable, EV/O is supposed to be somewhat realistic, not tacky
Ā the ability to change the status of a planet after it is Dominated - to turn a Pirate Base/Planet into an ally of your group/race for example
no comment
Ā more of the effects that Martin Turner included in Frozen Heart and Femme Fatale
you mean the ships!??!?! that idea was "OK" but he did it WRONG when your facing down you should see the BOTTUM of the ship, besides EV/O is a space shooter, it's not supposed to be like that, IMO, it should only be from the TOP (maybe a little from behind)
Ā more effects/ships/changes and weapons like those used in New Horizons - ( one of my favourite Plug Ins ! )
you already said most of that!
Ā an even larger Universe as one of the things that everyone likes is discovering new planets and systems
i think EVO needs a smaller universe, unless there is Hyperlink between north and south, or east and west, or both.
Ā the ability to have more than 6 escorts and the ability to 'park' them and pick them up later
you can have up to 32 escourts, but i know what you mean, and how about more than 32 ships in a system at once, why not 64, or 128?
Ā more random linked missions that the player could access after communicating with another ship - rescuing a tribe/group etc and then helping to resettle them ; supporting a faction ; working for an infant company which is on the cusp of a major breakthrough etc,etc,etc,
no comment
Ā more races in a much larger Galaxy / Universe,
you already said most of that
Ā more 'Special' Missions where significant changes occur,
no comment
most of what you said is already somewhat possable, but look to plugin makers for that, not MB/Ambrosia
