It would be pretty cool if you could make all the ships in evn 3d and have it that you are in the cockpit instead of a top down view like in x-wing

That would require modification of the game engine, and is hence not possible in a plugin. It has been discussed very frequently that there will not be a 3D Escape Velocity game. I would not recommend asking again for risk of being karmaslapped. Plugins can NOT alter the way the game plays, in any way or how the game works. The only thing a plugin can do is to modify the scenario (ships, systems, missions, etc.).

I am not trying to be mean; I am merely trying to inform you so you aren't flamed by others. If you have any other questions about what a plugin can and can't do, why don't you just ask here in this topic? Okay?

Personally, I think having EV/EVO/EVN sprite-based is much cooler than having a cockpit view. I think it would be boring to just fly around in a cockpit and shoot stuff. The EV series is different and refreshing partly because of the sprite-based graphics.

Here's something else to think of. Those people who make the TCs would be severely restricted in what they could do. I think I saw that someone was making a Drastic use of the 'Nova engine. I did not see the entire picture, but it seemed to imply a Sea based game instead of space (replace space with water and planets with mainland and islands.
If the game was a shooter, I don't think you would get that kind of complete change. Now that I think of it, does anyone know if anyone has tried a WWII TC? Instead of flying starships, you would fly Fighter planes or Bombers.

It would be difficult to make the ground based effects. Far more difficult than water. Water is just blue, whereas ground is many different textures and colors.
There is a world war II tc listed in the upcoming plugs at ev-nova.net.

There is a TC for EVO that takes place during WWII. It's decent, I think it's called Overboard or something.

I said it would be difficult, not impossible.
I think the plug I mentioned is close to being finished. Maybe we will be able to use some of the data/resources when the plug is released
