EV. The original, still the best.

I would have to say EVO, if only because of the improved (much-improved w/1.0.2) engine.

EV definately. I think EVO requires time and patience I do not have.

EVO have the best plot, twice as big universe as EV and they have the best plugs except EVGE...EVGE for EVO, that would have been great...

EV by a long way, its the best game I own and im prowd to own it, better than a PC game any day.

i'd say both, they are essentially equally balanced in competition...
why do people always start up stupid discussions like this? and why does the EVO board have less newbie questions?
EVO is better, though it lacks some of the elements that EV had.

EVO. Better engine. Period. (destroys a few more crescent fighter squads in a massively un upgraded Miranu Courier)

EV far surpasses EV/O in my opinion. EV/O was too removed. The size was much larger but it lost the perspective that made EV a great game. Every place in the EV universe was familiar, most systems had recognizable names, and the civil war setting makes the story compelling. When I played EV/O I felt like my actions were lost in the grand scheme of things. As testament to this, I registered EV, I tried EV/O for thirty days and chucked it in the trash heap.

Waiting for the proof, Andrew...
In the meantime, make it EV for me.

Sorry, but EV rules king. I kind of decided EVO sucked when I took out an Voinian frigate with a SHUTTLECRAFT.

EV 3. I feel it in my bones........ Hey Andrew, can I pre-order?
Otherwise, EV. It has a more finished, complete feel to it. Everything is though out, and there are more storylines. It is nice that EVO has a storyline that actually affects the game, but it ends too quickly.
Another thing is, EVO has a monstrous universe that is very difficult to deal with - a simple cargo mission can take a half an hour! What's more, the huge differences in technologies forces you to pretty much overhaul your ship every time you enter a different area. In theory this actually sounds cool, but in reality I found it a pain in the neck. Another thing, this huge universe has what can only be described as 'useless' planets - multiple planets with basically no description or features to distinguish them. On the other hand EV has a large enough galaxy for plenty of variety, but not so large as to where you can't become familiar with it, or feel at home in. In a way that, and the whole Rebels/Confeds thing, makes it more compelling. Witness the amount of plug-ins for EV that are based in the same universe (most of them) whereas the majority of plugs for EVO simply go and create a whole new world......
A few short things: The ships in EV are crisper, making them look better. The Rebels Cruiser is the best ship of all time (with apologies to htjyang,not the impostor). Eye of Orion!
Really though, it boils down to basic preferences and likes concerning a game. I, personally, enjoyed EVO, but it ended feeling more like plug-in than a whole new EV universe.
Incedentally, this was all covered in a post last year that went on for quite some time.....

LOL, you had to be really bored. I do that with a shuttlecraft and see how long I can last against a Confed cruiser :). All I have are 3 lasercannons, and a missile jammer.
EV by far, EVO is WAY to big, to hard to memorize planets, storylines are boring, and it requires patience to deliver one stupid cargo mission

EV/O for it's new ships and enhanced weapons. A UE Fighter could probably destroy the smaller EV warships.

The 2 are equal. EVO is better for its engine, EV is better for the vast number of quality plugs it has (EVGE!)
Both are fun to play, and both will get blown away by EV3.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

A UE fighter would DIE to a Confed patrol ship. Those things pack missiles, which in EV, actually take some WORK to avoid...as opposed to EVO's missiles, which any moron can avoid...that's my experience, at least.
