At the moment, yes, but I'm working on changing that for some fields like the mission bit values where that would be a problem.

A quick update on development progress for anyone who's interested: I've sent the first beta out to the testers, so it shouldn't be too long before MissionComputer for EV Override is released.

I've packaged MissionComputer 1.0.0b2 and sent it out to the testers.

Hey DA:
-Will there be a mission linking ability?
-And will it be capatible for the original EV as well? Or will you release a different one? Same question for EVN.

I will only be making plugs for EV and EVN, so which will it be available for?

What do you mean by mission linking?

Here's what I said in the first post of this thread:

It includes full EV Override 1.0.2 support, and, while the initial relase supports EV Override only, I plan to write a version that supports the original Escape Velocity as well. It is unlikely that I will write an EV Nova version, however, given the work R &R Software have already put into their NovaTools.

I think he means making strings of missions.

you know, like rebel persuit I leads to rebel persuit II, which leads to rebel persuit III so on.

the official term would be "Comp/FailBitSet

Well, it certainly has full mission bit suppot, but there's no special automatic mission linking features, and I don't see why they would be needed anyway.
