Some other (cool new) type. Sorta a hybrid.

Just as soon as we have some screenshots ready to go, and feel the game is far enough long, yes, Captain Hector will be swooping in with some screenshots.
Wait a minute, mburch has already started codeing the program? FÃœCK YEAH!!!!!!!
Oh, um, sorry about that. Just a little excited.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did that break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue. I believe you were saying something about "best intentions."

I love EV! Although I do like playing EVO, I prefer EV over it. It just takes to long to do all the missions and explore. And besides, bigger is not always better. EV has a perfectly sized universe.
------------------
I prefer EVO a bit more due to the fact that it doesn't get boring so fast and there is a decent selection of ships and tech. In EV it was just play for hours until you had enough to buy a better ship and so on until you had a kestrel. Actually I've never gotten a kestrel.
I realize how much the graphics and sounds in EVO stink so I reccomend using the Magma plug-in, it makes verything better than EV.

EVO is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better for traders. Escorts work, thanks to 1.0.2. MAGMA blows a$$! (um, that is a good thing). EVO story line is better, EV story is boring, when you can get the best ship...you can´t get missions. It takes years between each mission in EV. Somebody said that he killed a Voinian frigate(sp) with a shuttle, you can take the alien battle c. with a shuttle. You can kill any big ship with a shuttle if you use Monty Python. Try killing a Igazra, it is big, but those SAEs will blow your ass away. EV has better planet...um, texts. Oh, you might wanna try to kill an Azadara Warship aswell...hehehe. I like EV, very much...but EVO has so many alternatives. EV get´s boring faster. Being a trader in EV sucks. The EV board is better though, why you ask, becouse it has blue text! The bottom line, EVO is great, but so is EV too. Cya all.

No more 8 bit graphics with dithering. There will be cool translucent graphic effects (the explosions look particularly cool as 16 bit translucent graphics).
All of the rendered planet scenes will be 32 bit JPEGs, as will the ship and outfit pictures. There will be movies for the ships and outfits, too. Lots of great eye and ear candy in it.
The main focus, though, is on the game -- it will be an immense universe, with a several huge sprawling plotlines to envelop you with their web. Literally hundreds of pages of background storyline and text have been written as research for EV3's universe and plotlines.
No, it will not be 3D. No, it will not be networkable.
That's all I can say about it at the moment.
Is there any chance it will work on Windows or Linux??? I saw Maelstrom had been ported to Linux and I have it. Would you consider doing the same for EV (1) (2) (3)???

I doubt that. Thier entire following (including those of us on these boards) would probably hunt them down and kill them.
Dear EVO followers, I have a simple and strong message for you. If you do happen to like EVO more than EV then you can do the following: 1. Get your butt outta EV Webboard. 2. Get your butt outta this topic. 3. Leave me alone. 4. Leave andrew alone. 5. Post all the crap that you want to in EVO Webboards because most of us here don't care about you, your topics, and your face. 6. And most of all never ever reply to a topic that says "EV vs. EVO" or something like that because that would probably make you look like a fool because you are on EV Players turf! Kryptauros
------------------ Your standing in line, a very big line, And you have a gun, a Big Freaking Gun, Gee now what do you do?
Wow, Kryptarious (or whatever). You sound so mature and knowledgeable. Now, you don't like EVO. That is OK. But to say people who play EVO should never enter the EV board is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. I bet that everyone who has played EVO has also played EV and vice versa. And, the vast majority of them porbably like both games. In fact, many probably like EVO more. EVO had more ships, outfits, systems, planets, weapons, missions, governments, and nebulae. Granted, EVO's graphics and sounds weren't as good, but those things have never been the EV series strong point anyway. But, as I was saying before, there are poeple who visit (horror of horrors) BOTH the EV and the EVO website. It is okay to like both games. EVO is not evil.
This is a small reply I sent to another fellow person who did another ship poll.
I like EV better because, when EVO came out it was cool, but all of a sudden it got really boring. I also hate games where you have to go all the way around the galaxy to start a string of missions with a race. It takes to long and it wastes your money if you don't have a lot of it. EVO is just kinda dumb because of UE I think. Has crappy rockets, blaze turrets suck, hunter missles are heavy and expensive, their turning sucks. Then the purple guns (I forgot what they are called) they reach a far distance but they are kinda cheap and heavy. It takes forever to get the stupid UE Cruiser. Igadzra is just a joke to get on their side, same with Zidegar. Azdgari Ships suck really bad, The Igazra is the cheapest ship made. SAE modules are cheap. The zidagar beam sucks. Display rockets are dumb, Cresent Warship is to easy to get. Cresent Fighters are cheap if your a little person. The Voinian Dreadnought is a cheap heap, it's hard to kill, the stupid F-25 mission is a joke because you have to jump everywhere. If you go on the Voinians team then they still hate you if you abort their missions and the Voinian Cruiser sucks. Turreted rockets suck. The Elmagian people are dumb because their "warships" suck, those stupid armor thing turrets they aren't turrets they suck, "UE" Renegades (near UE space) are stupid because the Turncoats get so many feakin missles that they kill you. The Pariah mission is friken hard because you die before you can get a shot off. The "missle jammer" kinda works but most of the time it doesn't. Those idiot people (above UE space) are dumb because the "gunship" that they make is dumb. Zachit is a joke. There are almost zero missions for the renegades. The galaxy is humongous. Too many uninhabited systems. And in EV it's easier to kill pirates and they accually have money in them, it's also easier to kill Matt Burch and Andrew Welch (no offence Andrew but his Burchness is kinda just a little bit harder to take his Burchness's 20 million on the ship) I'll probably have more to say but if you have a problem with this reply you asked for it and you should go to the EVO webboard!!!!!!!!! That's enough punishment, Kryptauros
It's Kryptauros and wipe off tht stupid unregistered crap under your name.

Onion man? But seriously, a good pilot can use about any ship and win, even without the monty python manuever. It's no use comparing EV ships to EV:O ships as what matters is how they compare to others within the game..
I like EV better because, quite frankly, I know it better. EVO is too big and monstrous, and the plot is too complicated, and there are too many races. EV is a smaller world after all.
