Just checking...
The first time I got the "strange asteroid" mission, I was playing a plug, so I thought the shuttlecraft graphic was a bug, but then I played it without plugs, and it was the same. That is a UE ship, isn't it?

It sure seems to be a UE Shuttle. I guess the Strange Asteroid mission is just one of the unresolved mysteries of the Escape Velocity Galaxy.

Yeah, maybe that's something for plug-in developers
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hmm, wouldn't it be kind of hard to have a follow-up on, given that it is not in a string that is to do with the Igadzra otherwise? I mean unless one could set it to make sure you had done the 'strange asteroid' mission, and then add it on as an extra mission string for the Igadzra.. maybe ending with some worthwhile technology for them :)!

This is a quote from Peter Cartwright:
"Chris, my graphics designer, had a design for a coke machine he wanted me to use somewhere in my scenario; I explained that there wasn't really any obvious (or useful) place for it to be used - but then had this random idea for a mission involving a mysterious coke machine drifting through space which the player would have to investigate for some bemused aliens. This became the Strange Asteroid mission which you may be aware of. Unfortunately, I got the model for the coke machine, but not the image with 'Coca-Cola' on which was rather vital for the graphic to be useful. So I put in a temporary place-holder graphic, left the mission in, and waited for the image to turn up... I'm still waiting. I think he's lost it himself actually. Anyway, if anyone can put their own coca-cola graphic on the design, and put the whole thing into a plug, I'd be thrilled to see that mission make sense at last (or at least, for it to make as little sense as it was meant to make)."

Really? That's neat. How come the plug isn't included with EVO?
Well, the plug-in was just released less than a week ago. Maybe in a future version...
