Plugin Idea

woooooow multiple universe...
imagine: a lone station at the edge of the universe.
if you enter the spacebar, you get a simple question: are you ready to jump again?
you say yes. the mission toggles all visibility bits but the one of the station you are in. you leave again... wham the entire map has changed. no gov is the same, all ships and weapons are different... you have to do some cross-dimension missions... drool

The multiple universes idea sounds really cool. I have been tossing the ability of VisBits around a while, and I know that if you just threw in stuff from other plugs it would take a lot of work on compatibility and not get much response. Originality is the key or you are just making plug-ins compatible and putting them in one file. For your first plug-in, unless you have some gurus helping you, then staying away from these edge-of-EV-capability and just expanding a mission line, improving the graphics, or making a system. Whatever you are good at.

It would be awesome, but I don't think there are enough resources in EVO to do it. Perhaps in EVN...

You could do four universes of twohundred systems each easily i think...
if you have the time that is 🙂

In The alternate universes, we could have simple changes like the Cresant is not at war, or The Miranu are a large group or renegades, or there is a nebula around Earth and it's systems, simple changes. Also, the laws of physics could be different in the alternate universes. That would be awsome! 😄 Also, the Miranu could have special ship that could morph in shape and could split in half as they turn to avoid missles and SAD modules and stuff like that.

The people would be a small trade group that wouldent make the weapons, they would buy them from the different races. It would be more of a black market than a trade group.
