I'm sorry to say this but the multiplayer idea isn't original. I have seen this topic come up SO MANY TIMES. If anyone really wants to do a multiplayer then DO IT! DONT HAVE ANOTHER ARGUMENT ABOUT IT ON THIS FORUM IT HAS GOT BORING AGES AGO. My advice is if you do manage it somehow, then:
1)Base it in only one system but just limit more than a certain amount of people in it at once.
2)disallow upgrades which make invincibility possible.
3)Put it up on the net so we can all have fun.

Okay, so what you just did there was open up another multiplayer topic.
Great.
However, let's turn this into something actually useful. How about, list EVERY thing wrong with just making EVO multiplayer, and what would need to be done.
Just to make sure all those wannabe-EVO/MP-makers have a clue what they're doing.

When I opened this topic, I expected to find some silly person asking some silly question about the possibiliy of a networkable EV, and as such, I prepared a scathing reply. Nuts.

Of course it's not original. EVMP has been talked about pretty much since EV came out. As for doing it, several dozen poeple have tried making EVMP with a new engine, most have given up, all have failed so far for one reason or another. My conclusion over the years is that you're never going to get EVMP unless you use an existing games engine. Ambrosia provided us with the solution in the form of Ares and Hera. An attempt at EVMP was made with EVNet, (Ares plug) but it was (and is) a quite sad representation of EV. The only project that I'm going to believe well ever suceed, even remotely, is Ares: Override, but that's because I'm making, and I know I'm going to finish it eventually.
Hmmm, actually, I take that back, not all EVMPs with new engines. Helian Wars looks promissing. Who knows, it may end up being EVNMP in the distant future.

Ares is based in a single system, so this will be the case in AO. Ares has no upgrades, and anyway all ships in Ares have the same shield regen, So this well be the case in AO. What would you have me do otherwise, mail CDs to everyone that owns Ares?

Didn't read you're post before, anyways... I'd love to hear what you'd like to see in AO, fore I haven't heard DIDLY SQUAT FROM ANYONE. No baggering, no suggestions, no complaints about how long it's taking, not even a stinking lousy e-mail. The only modivation and ideas for AO come from me, and I'm sickly lacking in the former. I'd love to get IMs from anyone who wants to see AO come out in the near future. Frankly, I'm begining to think my original estimate of 50 or so poeple who might like to see AO come out in the not to distant future is more like 5.
Alright, I have heard from some poeple, (two to be exact) but not many.
So what would you guys like to see in (url="http://"http://www.evo.iwarp.com/AO/Shots.html")AO(/url)?
1. Azdgari Exp. Shield Generators disallowed.
2. a) forums with limits on ship types, such as "newbies only, no warships" forums, players can only be attacked after so much play or when their ship is worth so much, c) players can only fight if they both check some sort of box to show they want to take part in duels.
3. a) Missions are possible, and each player can partake in any mission once (if it's a mission that only happens once), mission bits are reset in multiplayer game, and when one player completes a mission in any forum, that mission is closed, c) only a few system exist, and there are no missions.
4 to x will come later.
