Word, kiddies. It's been a while. Anyway, Ford needs something to do over the Thanksgiving break, since he's sick, the library's closed, and he's already won a national title as the University of Louisiana-Lafayette in NCAA 2003 In other words, time to re-download EVO. You folks have any recommendations for good, relatively (last...oh...year and a half / two years :p) new plug-ins to keep The Ford entertained?

Werd.
Have you tried Nova? It's certainly worth the download if you haven't. Few people develop for EVO anymore, so Nova may be best if you are looking for something new and exciting.

Yeah, bought Nova. Played out the Polaris mission string, and got bored with it. Personally, Ford found Nova too limited, probably because instead of just creating a more generic universe that you could play in and expand on, the main thrust of Nova were its mission strings, which Ford found lacking, to be frank.

Try some of the other strings before you give up on the game. Go for the Auroran one, you might find it more entertaining.

...but...Ford lost Nova in a hard-drive crash, and his registration password as well, so getting all that back is entirely too much effort. So, in other words, are you people saying that EVO development has just sucked for the past two years?
:chuckles. To be honest, there is a thread about people not updating their plugs like Reign of the UE and New Horizons. So, people are complaining about the plugs and finding out why the plugs aren't c ompleted.

Try version 2.0 of F-25; a LOT has changed from 1.4. Better graphics, more/better missions, everything.
Dude...seeing you post brings back memories....

But in the ancient thread F-25 2.0 Released (24 June 2001), UE Patriot says that "Every time I try it those DARN Crescent Fighters get on my and all the Crescent Warships launch their SAD moudles at me and I'm dead before long. I fly a Crescent Warship. Can anybody help me?" Also, there is many complaints about Zidagar ships attacking and Zachit ships not protecting you.
Edit- Im pleased that it brings memories. But it thought to include plugs, no matter how old they are.

Frankly, I find most of the Override plugs to be lacking. I would suggest Tim Isles' (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/empire_trilogy")Empire Plugins(/url) for the original Escape Velocity. Be sure also to check out his latest plugin, Realm of Prey. Click (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl/RealmOfPrey.sit?path=ev/plugins&file;=RealmOfPrey.sit")here(/url) to download it. If you want more after that, look for BROTHERHOOD OF THE KESTREL, which Tim just started work on. It should be done by Summer 2003.

Meh. Can't be better than Reign of the Voinians II.
Either my mind is completely out of whack, or my memory is jacked, (trippy! that rhymed!!!) but here goes.
I think I remember a Ford Prefect online a while back when Myth 2 was still alive and kicking. Was that you?
------------------ Cogito Ergo Cogito United we stand, so I wandered off and got me a chair.
Ford was around when the original Myth was still alive and kicking, so...probably.
