A call for suggestions (EV Survival Guide)

Heya everybody. Currently, I'm working (somewhat) on the (url="http://"http://www.evula.com/survival_guide/")EV Survival Guide,(/url) and I was wondering if there was specifically anything that you'd like to see. I just need suggestions for the EV section; the EVO and EVN sections aren't quite ready yet, so please don't suggest I finish them.

And, just to "justify" this, it does relate to EV, thank you very much. 😛

Here is what is on my list of things to do (for you to comment/criticize/whatever):

1. Change and beef-up the "How To Be a..." section
2. Add a section for system information
3. Actually get the Tips section up...
4. Add the Missions
5. Better navigation between pages (already added)

Any comments/suggestions will be very welcome.

Edit: added #5.

I'd be willing to contribute... it would give me an excuse to play EV. 🙂

EVula, you don't have to justify your posts; you're a mod, remember. 😉

Yes, a get-money-quick thing would be nice. If you want to the see a great EV Tips page, go to (url="http://"http://home.cfl.rr.com/aresev/")my website(/url). It has not been updated in a while, because I put work on my website on hiatus to work on my plugin, and I put work on my plugin on hiatus to play around in mechanisto and make the graphics for my plugin. 😛

Especially the Rebel tips page.. one of my favorite 😉

Here's a tip, if you need to run from something, like missles in EV, start heading in a diagonal direction, you get a minor boost, but it is just enough to outrun missles if your ship's speed is 425. 🙂 (It's a bug)

Really? I thought that was because the missiles were crisscrossing around a lot, and their speed and lack of mass made them fly a bit too far either side.

Ah, wait...you're talking about going diagonal across the screen, I'm thinking about slowly shifting left and right as you go.

I was wondering about that. Quite useful, though.

I've tried to do that somewhat with the "EVula's Notes:" section in each ship 'area', but I do need an all-out combat breakdown. I'm thinkin' about this one... thanks for the suggestion. 🙂

Yeah, contribute to the Survival Guide... and Rants, Reviews, and anything else you want to. 😉

#3. 😛 I can't do that before I do up the layout for it. That's one of those things I plan on doing very soon, but other aspects of the Guide (actually, one of the other ones) is higher on my list of things to do, even though it'll need a 'bar', too (hehe, I've dropped enough hints, I wonder if anyone knows what I'm talking about?).
