It found one like this at the Escape Velocity webboard, and to my surprise everyone votes for Escape Velocity, even when EVO is larger and better and just...better. But, that is propably because it is placed where it is, so I place one here too, in all fairness, to see if the location of the poll makes any difference, as I'm sure it does.
------------------ All E.T:s aren't nice. (Most of them are evil green blobs)
Escape Velocity. Much more EVish. Though EVO is no way bad (and I also do play it alot and like it very much), EV is just better and I like it more.
------------------ If at first you don't succeed...Hit it harder! - Me -------------- Millennium. Its coming, prepare for it. Coming to the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/ev/chronicles.html")EV Chronicles(/url).
graphics - EV gameplay - EVO plotlines - EVO variability - EVO
guess its EVO.
don't forget the plug-ins aswell making EVO an absolute EV killer!
------------------ Evility is Reality.
graphics - EV governments - EV ships - EV weapons - EV plotlines - EVO variability - EVO engine - EVO
All in all, I prefer EV to Override. Of course, there's still Nova coming up.

What are you talking about!?
EVO rocks!!!!

Escape Velocity.
We don't want a load of stupid, senseless governments! We want D E T A I L!

EV feels more EVish than EVO. EV just seems more original and cool than EVO and is easier to explore and play. Of course, EVO has a massive galaxy and has a lot of good plotlines as well.
I love EV, but EVO is much more exciting, it has a plot, ect. EV gets boring after a while, but there's tons to do in EVO.

OK, since it makes more since to have this all in one place, and this came to the EV board first, a link to that one is (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001538.html")here(/url).
Perhaps we could lock it on this side, then do all the arguing in one place.
------------------ So go on the internet game sites and bash all the PC users!
If you ask me, I'd say this goes on the B&B; boards, but we might as well keep it where it is.

I prefer EV. As I said on the EV board.
------------------ War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Big Brother is watching you.
Since we seem determined to hold this in two places, I'll put my official vote in for EV, so, if i counted right, we're at 5 for EV and 4 for EVO.
Odd that EVO is losing on it's own board... it didn't surprise me on the EV board, but here it does.
Heh, well seeing how this topic IS EVO related and I told someone it was ok to start it after they ask me, it'll stay

EVO is losing on its own board... I don't believe this! What's better with EV anyway? The governaments are more boring then in EVO, graphics duller than in EVO, universe smaller then in EVO, story shorter then in EVO. Please don't misunderstand me, I love EV, it's the best game ever. But EVO is better and then you understand how good EVN is going to be!!

Actually, the graphics in EV are just nicer looking, the outfits ,make more sense, the ships are better and cooler looking, it makes more sense to have an evil alien race than a bunch of alien races that most of them doesn't know the other exists, the missions are a little more fun (EVO also has fun missions), and you can have the max guns and the max turrets as said in the shipyard. (as you can tell, my vote goes for EV). I agree, it is pathetic that EVO is losing on its own board. In total EV has over 20 votes and EVO has almost 10 votes.

If you use the EV graphics plug for EVO then EVO is best. I hate games with graphics who looks like its animated on a Nintendo console. Take a look at the Voinian ships.. Are they much more than grey triangles?

Actually, I find that EVO's governments are duller, since there are more of them, none of them get nearly as well developed. Most of us here agree that EV has better graphics, not worse ones. Also, I like the smaller universe, its still rather large and I have memorized the approximate location of every system, except a few of the uninhabited ones that are way out there, and never really get used much.

Lol, that's quite a contradiction you have there.

Hey, I was only suggesting we post a link to the old one, not start all the voting over again on another board. But I guess it's pretty well entrenched here now.

I find the governments of EV far more interesting. Override has a main Good vs. Evil conflict (UE/Emalgha vs. Voinians), a few Good vs. Bad conflicts (UE & Miranu/Zachit/Militia vs. Renegades), and a conflict in which none of the sides are particularly good or evil (the Crescent War). EV has a central Good vs. Good conflict (the Civil War), which I find the most interesting kind, a Good vs. Bad conflict (the pirates), and a climactic but short Good vs. Evil conflict (the aliens).
As for graphics, while Override has more technically complex graphics, Escape Velocity has better artistic design, and technology is only as good as the person using it.
The universe size and storyline length are the Override scenario's best strengths, but I don't think they're good enough to counterbalance the lack of depth and thought that have gone into the initial scenario.
Although Wratho didn't mention it, another point that is often raised in favour of Override is the engine. While the engine is superior, the stock scenario makes little interesting use of the new features, so this is not an argument in favour of the game as a whole, and we seem to be comparing only the stock scenarios, not plugins.
