A while back there was a plug in that I got off the net somewhere, and with Nova being a hot item right now, I went back to EV Classic for ol time sakes....anyways....The biggest plugin I ever downloaded was huge, I dont remember what it was really called, because I remnamed it EV Expander, but there were two new major factions, polaris and orion. There is a police state to the northwest. And a whole bunch of new ships....but the best one was a giant modified kestral painted blue called the condor.... Ok ok, to get to the meat of the question...hopefully someone will remember this plug in, I got to a point where I had to destroy an alien space station that appeared in the south...somewhere along the Polaris story line....Solid weapons wouldn't damage the station at all...only energy, but the shielding on that station was ridiculous....so blasters were useless because if you got to close the station would tear you apart...not to mention fending off about 12 alien fighters. I'm trying to pick up where Ileft off and, guess what? 4 years later I still can't do it....has anybody? I'm figuring this plug was popular...because it was fantastic, just not this mission! Also did anybody figure a way to go and comeback from alien space, I know you could jump in, but you couldn't jump back out...let me know.
Thanks

The plug-in you are speaking of is EV Game Expander (or EVGE), by 'toffe'.

You get out by completing the mission that is offered you by a ship called 'Alien Mothership'. This mission is only available if your pilot file was created after you installed EVGE in your plug-ins folder.

I'll try opening a new pilot to see what happens...it'll be more fun than trying to decipher the files for EVC, I pulled apart EVN, figured out how to make plug ins, but it lost a lot of it's charm after that.

I don't think he actually 'pulled a trick' so much as 'couldn't avoid that bug because of the engine limitations'.

It's not a trick, but rather an unavoidable engine limitation. A përs resource that was not present when the pilot file was created will never appear in-game in any of the three Escape Velocity games, because the game marks unfilled përs slots as 'dead' so that it won't try to show a ship that doesn't exist.
Well, I guess you learn something new every day.
Hey everybody thanks for the info...just wanted to know if there is anybody who actually took out that alien space station...if they did, mad props...cause even with 4 more years of EV experience, I still can't do it...of ocurse I've never used a cheat in my life.
I know tons of topics have problem been dedicated to the longest running best plug in ever....I searched the topic pages under EVGE just to see what was said over the years....but I still haven't seen anything on the proxima faction....they're ships looked mad crazy cool...however I never could steal them as they blew up once you take down their shields....are there missions for them? I hope so.
Yes, there are proximan missions. However, they are extremely hard to get. You'll need to find a disabled proxima scoutship to get the first mission. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here) That should start you out.

It's kind of a hard thing to debate...but I'd have to say that EVGE really gives nova a run for it's money....This plug is so well done, and might even be bigger than Nova as far as the whole map is concerned....Nova has a lot of systems but most of them are uninhabited. Nova of course has all sorts of engine enhancements....nifty little details, like light up engines, etc....but EVGE has solid story lines, factions, ship designs, the whole kit'n'kaboodle. Lots of effort went into both, but I would say That EVGE really has some huge pluses, and the fact that it was just a plug in is really amazing. The only thing that really tips the scale for me is...the fact that EVGE and Classic EV are both more combat oriented. Nova is kind of easy...which was a little bit of a let down, but the engine should prove to give some great plugs. The Dragon and Thunderforge are a great designs for a ship. Mad props to Atmos. (someone should try to port this type of Plug to EVN.....I would say every design for a ship fits into the EVN universe from this plug...maybe not the Polaris Cruiser....never could get used to that one...Well I'm going back to trying to get a Proxima ship.

Hmm, very interesting...I made a plug-in a while back (when I still had my Mac; I think it's gone now, but it's easy to make) that fixed this problem by filling up the pers resources, though you had to always leave this plug-in in your plug-ins folder.
I almost forgot about that...I don't know if it's worth making again though, because no one would see the point in downloading it.

I agree with you - EVGE is probably the best plugin produced for any of the EV games.
Some tips for the Proxima missions, if I remember right:
(1) The Scoutship is somewhere in the uninhabited systems near the Orion Union. Exactly where, I forget. It is also a përs, so only appears occasionally.
(2) The second Proxima mission is to find a criminal. You are told he could be anywhere in the Galaxy. He is in fact somewhere in the sparsely populated south of the galaxy.

You know, I really need to go back and finish that update for EVGE...I wonder if stoffe still remembers it.
Or maybe I could just be lazy and only release the new graphics he made.
Ah well...hopefully posting this will give me encouragement enough to go and do the work. It's just been so long since I made missions for EV that worked...
