As some of you may know, I have been in the process of making a new plug for Escape Velocity called the Cygnus Alliance. I am finishing up the plug this week and will be distributing to beta testers when I feel there are enough to test it.
Unfortunetly, that is a minor problem for me right now. There currently are no testers signed on, which is why I am here.
I am looking for 15-18 people willing to beta test my new plug. The only requirement to this is that you know your way around the classic EV universe. (IE, this plug isn't designed for newbies)
Post inside this thread if you wish to be part of the beta test. To enter, just post: - ASW User Name, (Real Name is you prefer) - a working e-mail address - any other service you prefer to use for communication (AIM screenname, ICQ)
If you are unable to post (no valid e-mail account for registration, etc.), then you can send an application via e-mail to (url="http://"mailto:captainz@mac.com")mailto:captainz@mac.com(/url)captainz@mac.com

Thanks to all that currently have applied. At this time, all of you will be included in the beta test, and as an added bonus, a personality in the game will be created for each of you. (I forgot to mention that.)
I am just putting the final touches on, fixing a bulk of errors that have accumulated (90 major, 230 minor, at last count, maybe a third of them aren't really errors.)
Hopefully, I will have the beta distributed this weekend just in time for President's Day (First time I get off for this holiday in over a decade).

The ship is on my HD right now, but I haven't had a chance to play with it with the schoolwork and the Cygnus Alliance going on. Don't worry, it will come soon (this weekend?).
Cool. Ooh, pick mee!

You want specifics? Here you go.

What it comes down to is that over 80% of the game is modified in some way. I guess this would be considered a TC (I've been considering it an Expansion Conversion because most of the original storyline is intact.) The reason there are a few increases left are because I have added a new ship today, and I need to at përs resources for each of the newly signed on beta testers.
There are three primary groups battling in here. - Confederation: After the fall of the Rebellion, the Confederation owned all human space. Once the Alliance came into power, it lost roughly half of it's control. The old Rebel ships and technology have either been integrated into Confed design or made obsolete (made public, or not sold any more)
- Cygnus Alliance: Started in the galactic east, in the Cygnus system, the Alliance now controls roughly half of human space. Founded on the US Constitution, which had been kept secret in the Confed databases, it is a much more "for the people" type of government. Mostly new tehnology, and the outside companys that flocked to the region brough new ships as well (Atinoda, Krydanti Systems primarly)
- Vortee: The alien race from the original game is back for more, and is growing... (Yes, I know the name created by Matt Dailey "Voratee". I don't tak credit for originality on this. When I first saw the name, I didn't see an "a" in the name, and Vortee kinda stuck...oh well)
For now, I give you that to chew on...

I probably will put it up on one of my iTools accounts (won't tell you until I am ready ), and then send the link via e-mail.
If not, I may just send it via AIM and e-mail.
