If anyone decides to create a plug where Captn Hector returns, please do a bunch of missions where your objective is to destroy, disable or board that pest! It can be somewhat like this: A group of unregistred EVO users approachs you in the bar. "We've heard of you <PN>, and you're our last hope. We are to poor to afford registering EVO, and can't get enough money to do it as the Evil Parrot Captain Hector robs us all the time. We need you and your excellent ship to destroy the feathered fiend before he kills us!" the poor people looks at you with tears in their eyes. "We will make it worth your effort! We promise!" You consider your options a while. Will you offend the mighty Ambrosia Empire and help these unfortunate souls? YES. NO. And when you've destroyed Hector, the leader of the poor unregistred people gives you a powerful weapon that has been passed down by his family in many generations, or their last amounts of money as the parrot now is dead and they finally can begin earning some money. No, not dead Hector never dies. The sequel to this "Hector plug", can be "The Hector Plug II: Return Of The Parrot."

What I want to know is if it's possible to create a pers like Hector.... someone who can't be shot directly, with all weapons passing through him. The real fun in bringing Captain Hector wouldn't be just shooting him around like a normal helian. That's a one time, cheap thrill. He needs to be untouchable as he is now. The fun would be having to stalk him carefully so you can time that space mine to collide with the asteroid just as he passes. You hear that explosion and you know you've nailed the bastard. I've got no idea if this is possible. Can anyone think of a way?
Oh, Carno, you don't know the start of it! That jerk made off with my zip drive!!!
------------------ Hi! I'm Alien the Hinwar and I'm a stuiped jerk! I'm big, mad, strong, and Hinwar! I yell 'LONG LIVE THE UE!', but I smash vikimadegie lovers every chance I get! Cause I'm Alien the Hinwar and I'm a stuiped jerk! I'm always making the mods mad doing something or another, but I'll never learn! I'll never turn! Look at my karma!

LOL!!! Good one, Alien. And you think you've got it bad!? I never found out where my CD ROM drive went...I can only guess who's got it, though.

Why oh why can't he be content with some seed and a cuttlefish, like any normal Parrot?
A possible 'Hector mission string':
Admiral Tzutoo says 'Thank you for agreeing to help us out in this matter, <PN>. The renegade known as Captain Hector has gone too far this time! He's stolen the President's teeth! He was last seen as he left the Sol system, heading for Centauri. We've modified your weapons systems so that they should be able to target Captain Hector's Helian, despite its invulnerability field. The modifications won't allow your weapons to work at full effectiveness against him, though, but just keep shooting! Once you have disabled his ship, board it and retrieve the cargo. I'll be waiting for you on Luna.'
...Cue an epic battle with a souped-up Helian with heavy shielding (to represent that your weapons have limited effectiveness against him). Could be fun!

All this talk of the Monty Python maneuver has left me wondering... is Captain Hector a Norwegian Blue, by any chance?
No, he's an African Grey.
heh, I still have him flying around in EV. Despite the fact that he doesn't steal from you there, I still want to register. Just something about him meting up with me about 7 times in every battle telling me to register is starting to bug me.
Are you gonna tell him that's a boy cow? Naw, he'll figure it out.
