First; I will refer you to the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=9&SUBMIT;=Go")EV developers baord(/url), where you can endulge in thier plug making knowledge. Second; here is (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl?path=evo/utilities&file;=EVEdit321.sit.hqx")EVedit(/url). This is one of the easyest EV editors avalible.(the second one is (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl?path=evo/utilities&file;=ResEdit213.sit.hqx")ResEdit(/url))

Welcome to the boards! 🙂

There are two main ones(Some people are making new/better ones ) ResEdit and EVedit. Evedit is bugier than ResEdit but is easyer to use,since it was made specifically for EV/O. ResEdit is more stable (crashing wise) but wasn't made for this game specifically, so you kinda have to learn how to use it.

(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/5985/editors.html")Here(/url) are some helpful utilities. Personally, all I need to make plug-ins are ResEdit (for most stuff), Schmelta-V (for missions), and (url="http://"http://members01.chello.se/warlordpontus/ev/evomap.html")EVO Developer's Map,(/url) (for spobs and systems) which works for both EV and EVO. EV-Edit isn't worth the time you'll need to get around the bugs, viruses, and system crashes it causes. If you want to make your own sprites, you'll need mechanisto or another 3D artwork utility and MakeSpin. Good luck!

I learned to install custom skins for iTunes, Explorer splashes and throbbers, About This Macintosh replacements, and startup screens with resedit in less than half an hour of tinkering. It's easy.

Don't use EVEdit. Parts of it may be easier to use (I like ResEdit's interface better anyway myself), but it has a way of really screwing up plugs. Save yourself some grief and just learn ResEdit.

EV-Edit doesn't require any "training"; if you need help with that program, that's just sad.

ResEdit, however, does have a bit steeper learning curve. You'd probably do best by downloading a simple plugin from the Addons section, then open it up in ResEdit, just to have a look at what does what. Also read the (url="http://"http://www.evula.com/ev_bible/")EV Bible;(/url) it's (pretty much) the best documentation for creating EV plugs in ResEdit.

Yes, if you dominate a planet. You cannot own a planet in EV.

Specifically, there are four results of dominating a planet:

  • always being allowed to land there,

  • being paid tribute,

  • being hated by everyone around it, and

  • having bounty hunters sent to kill you.

Note that you still have to pay for ships, outfits, commodities and such on planets you've dominated, and, as Macavenger said, you don't own the planet - you've just got its inhabitants terrified of you.

Sometimes there just aren't any regular missions in the mission computer. Try the bar.

Not to be rude, but you are incredibly ignorant of many things in this game. Don't get pissed and stomp off before you find solutions. Here are some.

Click on any one of the links to recieve all the information you will need to find every mission in the game. But for god sakes, try to play the game more before asking questions that could be solved if you just stopped posting here for a while and started playing EV.
