F-25 v.2.0

I'm at a loss as to whether to buy and F25 ship or keep my Crescent Warship. They look very cool.

I'd go with an F-25 sgip, they're so much better suited for the terrain...

Bomb......Do you remember me? I was beta testing for you...had a page of notes about problems...got a long way in the plug...had a major powersurge and completly fried my hard drive...gave up because finals were coming and i didn't have time to redo or remember all of it...please forgive me for deserting you! whew! Boy, am I glad to have that off my chest! The plug sounds great!

I am interested in playing F-25, but I am having trouble downloading it. I downloaded as a .sit file, and Stuffit turns it into something else, and the new file won't do anything. I can't find any program to expand it. Is there anything I ought to do or try? Thanks

There is a program called ZipIt, but I'm not sure where to find it or who makes it, since I use Stuffit as well.. maybe someone else can show you the way or you could ask about it on one of the other boards...

  • Better English in the text strings. (I offered to help with this, but heard nothing.)

  • Less missions where you just hold down the hyperspace key for twelve or fifteen jumps, and then get sent right back to where you came from.

  • Less powerful ships and weapons in the new galaxy (especially those available to the player) - they spoilt game balance.

  • A top-down graphics version of the plug for the folks who don't like oblique-view graphics.

Good luck with it!

I've worked very hard on both testing the missions and proof-reading the text -- all of it. Although I haven't completed all of the testing I'd like to have, I can honestly say that this version of F-25 is much more polished and more compelling to play. I think you'd have a hard time finishing any of the major strings in this plug without more powerful ships. It is not intended that you finish F-25 and then go back to regular EVO space and kick buuuutox. It is intended that you accept that EVO's stories are in the past and that now you are playing bomb's stories -- which just happen to take place in an area north of the regular evo galaxy.

Try just to play the plug and relax. It's a game after all. This one will challenge you and has a story to tell. Give it a shot. What do you really have to looooose since there aren't many really large plugs coming out for EVO 1.0.2 right now anyway.

Just my 2˘ (which is not even worth that around here -- wink to those who know me 😉

Who would want to go back to EVO with F-25?? I never did...

Anyway, if F-25 2.0 is up any later than one week from now, I will formally hand over my spot on the EVN beta list to Alien. 😉

Good news, or bad, depending on your point of view. Fetch is finally working, so I may have the files up as soon as tonight. I would do it this afternoon, but I'm going to work in a few minutes.. So probably from 9 PM EST on would be a good bet.

2nd day. 🙂

What's going on bomb? it's still not there!

Does kytarri mean bat or something cuz that's what their ships remind me of

My very first EVO Chronichle called "The UE's Dread" Followed by the "U.E.S. Inconvertrable" Then "What Happened to Huron" finally "Ontario the Azdara"
What do you think?

You guys need to tell people when there is a time limit to a mission. I can't tell you how many missions I have failed because i diddn't know I was supposed to get somewhere by some time. This is so bad I have stopped playing it.

Just my 2 cents.

No, it doesn't. But you are partially right- they are predatory-looking vessels.

Oh, bugger off. Just because you're too dumb to read the mission texts which usually tell you if there is some kind of timelimit, doesn't mean it's a bug. Either that, or you're not supposed to know there is a timelimit, and it just went clear over your head.
