So, I just thought of a great idea that would have been great to suggest WAY back when Ambrosia actually wanted us to suggest new ideas for EVN... but now (at v1.6) it's far too late. Maybe I can hope for it in the next EV game (Yeah, yeah. I know, they said they aren't making any more EV games. But they said that after EVO also, and they also said a million times that they'd never make a PC port. (rolls eyes)) Anyway, how great would it be to have a personal shipyard? You'd have one planet (say, Sol) where you'd be able to store multiple ships. You'd have to buy the storage space, and you could purchase more space, etc. You could use this for those times when you're tired of flying around in your big bulky cruisers and you want to have a little fun with a tiny fighter harassing shuttle's in an unpoliced system. Noone wants to go scrap their mammoth for a side tracked bit of fun; and it's no fun to go starting a new pilot just to do something different for a little while. So Ambrosia, next time you make an EV (which you will, you've now addicted the PC market, you'll HAVE to), make sure you ask for feature requests again. This one's in my cannon.
(edit: note - technically this is a feature request, so it wouldn't make sense to me to put it anywhere aside from the forum dedicated to improving the game, as opposed to discussing game play, so none of this telling me to go stick this in the banter section crap. Yes I'm cranky, it's late, lemme 'lone...)

Kind of like GTA? It will never happen, but it would be fun.

Don't feel too bad. The "garage" idea actually was suggested during development, so it's not as though nobody ever considered the idea.

For an idea to have been included, it had to have a reason behind it... like selling ships it's obvious that if you own escorts you should be able to sell them. But a garage has little potential, or reason for existing.
What would have been cool would be to be able to keep your old ship as an escort when you bought a new one... If you wanted to of course. Oh well, I'm happy with nova the way it is. And I really don't think they'll do a fourth EV game. Matt must be bored with the whole EV thing by now, he wants to work on something fresh.

I honestly think they don't plan on doing a 4th; and I don't think they want to. But I just have the feeling that they will. Suckers. (grins merrily at prospects of what the future might bring)
Matt has a job which require him too much for working on a EV4. There'll never be any sequel to Nova. "Only" Total Conversions

Whether Matt makes it or not...it'll come. At least it had better... though I can scarcely imagine what horrors would be brought upon the series if it were not programmed by Matt...

My guess is that it would be in 3D, have multiplayer, and a complete lack of in-jokes.
