    • Stuck in a system that has no ships and without fuel


      If anyone:

      1. can alter a pilots current situation
      2. knows how to get out of a system with no ships or fuel
      3. knows how to get rid of a plugin when your pilot is in one of the plugin's systems without deleting the pilot.

      Then please tell me. I think I screwed up my pilot and it would be near impossible to accomplish again what I have accomplished. I conquered the entire galaxy (including all the extra systems from plugins) and I don't want to have to go through that again.
      Thank You

      All you have to do is make a plug that either puts some friendly ships into that system, or puts an inhabited stellar into that system.

      $ take -over=world
      bash: take: command not found

    • Surely you can just press esc and open up "last pilot". This should put you back on to the last planet you landed on. When you do this, buy yourself some fuel scoops!

      I can see the headlines now: "SUPREME RULER RUNS OUT OF GAS! D'OH!"

    • I know that for the origional EV, there was a program that could be used to change the location of a pilot to anywhere in the universe you like. I'm pretty sure it just altered the resource for location for the pilot file, and you could probably do that manually using ResEdit.

    • Let me clear this up.

      1. This is in EVO
      2. In an isolated system.
      3. No fuel scoops (no room for them)
      4. The system I am in is part of a plugin (I already tried to just get rid of it but that completely screwed the game up).
      5. No ships come by because there is only one path to take while flying away from civilization and there are no inhabited systems on the way.
      6. I have no escorts to release from servitude and then just plunder them.

      Any other specifications needed? email me at insanityco@aol.com

    • For the love of KONG! :eek: Don't you know that a Fuel Scoop is a NECESSITY for any ship, even a miranu courer. Also, if you have any escorts, release then from servitude and then disable them and take their fuel. 🆒

      (If you want to know who KONG is...dont ask...you had to have been there)

      Did you read what I said? Make a plug that adds an inhabited planet in that system. Or if you're already using a plug, modify it to give you an inhabited planet.

      Email me:
      1. What system you are in and what planets you can land on, including uninhabited.
      2. What plug you are using and where to get it, if its not in the addons section.

      I'll make a plug that lets you out of your jam.

      Use a program called ACE which will solve your problem.
      You'll find it at (url="http://"http://www.crosswinds.net/~drysdall/ace.html")www.crosswinds.net/~drysdall/ace.html(/url)
      Make sure that you quit EVO first before you try to alter your Pilot File or you'll freeze your computer - you'll cause a conflict and end up with an ERROR -10 message.
      ACE will allow you to alter the following :-
      • Fuel
      • Missiles
      • Credits

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

    • Seconded. ACE will solve your worries, and you won't have to make or alter a plug-in. I never ran out of fuel, but I used to rely on ACE a lot, back when Cap'n Hector was (quite rightly) stealing all my credits. ACE can be found in the Shareware Plus directory on many of the CDs that come with MacFormat magazine.
