I have played EV for a long time, what is the best Add-on if you have a Corvette with missiles, turrets and a hawk bay (with hawks of coarse?)
------------------ Sacrafice escorts for the better good!
What is the forklift?

The forklift is a VERY VERY VERY VERY powerful CHEAT weapon that you can get by using some easter egg.

Add-on as in plug-in or add-on as in outfit?

As in plug-in. Which cheat has the forklift and do I need to download something? How can I find it?
No, the forklift is in the game.
To get it, first option-click on the "Escape Velocity" when you start up.
You'll get a story about how Matt Burch made the game.
As the story scrolls, hold down SHIFT, OPTION, CONTROL, COMMAND, and "F"
When it ends, you'll get a guy singing "They'll try to kill him with a forklift!", and you'll have it.

Hey, I resent that. The Forklift is not a CHEAT weapon. I consider it to be a normal weapon that must be obtained by going through the painful process of waiting for the story, just like the Sattilite of Love. That is all.

Is it first or secondary? What do you mean option-click? Where can I find cheats like this?
Hmmm, when I last had a Corvette I think I basically got all the shield capacitors, the shield enhancer, lots of extra armor (need a mass expansion or two to fit it all on), and four neutron cannons.
I'm not too fond of missiles and escorts. Torpedoes are cool, but I don't like using them at the expense of guns.
Oh, and in response to the question about where to find cheats and such: You used to be able to find all the cheats and a lot of other info about EV on (url="http://"http://www.escape-velocity.com")www.escape-velocity.com(/url) Note that I said "used to".

Umm,
It's not working? Mabee because it isn't registered do you think?
What's not working? Please specify.
Well,
I go into the game. I click about EV. While it is scrolling I hold down shift, option, control, command and F. Then I let them all go and leave because credits go for hours. Then I come back and enter my ship and...........nothing? I flick through the secondary weapons and it's not there then I fire my turrets and take out a few gunboats before being anihalated by a confederate cruiser? How do you use it? Oh, and it didn't sing either because I came back about a minute before the scrolling ended and the last thing was stop reading credits and play.
That's because you didn't do the necessary things to activate the forklift.
You wait for the EV main screen to load, then you opt-click on the big thing where it say Escape Velocity. If the timing is off it may take a few opt-clicks before you get the scrolling story.
Once you have the story, wait for it to get down to the part where it says something like Matt Burch, something something xx:xx AM (some time) and then MST3K. At that point his ctrl-opt-shift-apple-f and you should here "They'll try to kill them with a forklift."
This is about as clear as I can make it at this time.
Damn, It still doesn't work, does it matter which order you press the buttons? Should I press them one at a time or all together like I have been?
