I know this isn't strictly EVO, but I doubt many people visit the EVC boards anymore.
I just posted to tell you all that I'm making a new plug-in for EV, which allows the Confederation to gain power over half of the galaxy (the other half is for the sequal).
It contains, so far, 46 missions and I should be adding at least 5-6 more. I should be uploading it within the next couple of weeks.
The plug-in itself changes a lot of worlds and uses VisBits to change certain systems several times over ( to Bomb).
I hope there's still interest in EVC. I was just board of everyone always liking the
rebels, when the Confeds are obviously better!

Interesting plug. Sounds interesting, though Rebels are better.

Post stuff on the correct board next time; the EV board is more active than this one, please at least check it before making assumptions.

Actually, I was going to post it on both boards, but my time at the cafe ran out before I could post it here.
Anyway, nearly finished now! I'm on mission 43 and we've just destroy Turin! Satori will be OURS YET!

Alrighty. However, in the future, please keep in mind that non-EVO stuff on the EVO board gets locked.

Ahem.
Just don't you forget who is Gav in around here, mister.
Nearly done there, just clearing up now. (plug)

Update:
I've had to clear up so many bugs, I think I'm going to cry. :frown:
On the upshot, Persephone (and the Holy Mac) is now under Confederate cotrol.
I ran into a really annoying problem at one stage: I started all mission VisBits at 200, so they would carry on going from there and not interefere with other mission bits. Problem is, I used more than 255 but since I only have the EV O bible I forgot that EV is so limited in that respect. I went all the way up to 264 before I tested it, then wondered why the hell half of rebel space had disappeared. It's fixed now, though.
I must say, it's really coming out nicely. So far there's 53 new missions and I haven't even done Satori yet. Because I've bugged and programmed it to death, I HATE this plug, so have no idea what bits are good or bad -- I hate it all.
Anyway, I'm putting the finishing touches in today, the beta should be finished by tomorrow and 1.0 will be sent off to whatever poor mug I can find who'll upload it for me. (Gildor)
Thoughts?

53 missions and Satori not taken yet? Wow... this plug-in is more huge than Reign of the UE, which scores at 48 missions. And sad that youve had so much bugs. "Because I've bugged and programmed it to death, I HATE this plug, so have no idea what bits are good or bad -- I hate it all. " Sounds shocking. Can you hate your own work? And its great that you have made a plug-in which makes one side finally win, especially as its the side few people like- Confeds.

Okay, it's FINISHED! It now stands at 58 missions, phew!
About hating my work, I don't really, it's just I've created the plot and played through it so many times it's become a routine. Also, when I get excited about an idea, I tend to make loads of spelling mistakes, so spellchecking is what takes up most of the time. I've played through it twice, I'm doing it a third time (since I have no beta testers, I have to work doubly hard to squish those bugs) just to make sure.
By the way, the Confeds don't win per se. They capture a lot of rebel space, and that's great, but I tried to do the campaigns like a actual commander would. I mean, the Battle of Voinia is all very nice (I'm not putting down ROTUE, I thought it was great), but in reality, you would go straight to the capital first. Don't worry, there's a good 50 missions before you actually attack Palshife, but I think that Bomb had the right idea with attacking Sol almost straight away. Anyway...
I must say I'm quite proud of myself. Normally, at this point, I throw in the towel because of internet problems and the plug is left to decay on my hardrive. Then I have a good old cleanup, see a 40 mission plug and think 'will I really ever release/play that?' and in the bin it goes. I've lost a good few plug-ins that way, but not this one. Loads of systems change twice, and I would have made them change even more, but EV doesn't have enough Bits to play with.
So, for the specs, Confed Rule (the name of the plug) adds:
58 missions Countless changes to systems and planets 1 new ship (purchasable) 1 new weapon plus its weap/ammo outfits (also purchasable) Several distinct characters No plot, but several decent storylines strung together Dealings with the Confeds, rebels, pirates, ConEx, UGE, Cydonia and Militia (no aliens, sorry) My own creations onto the EV story (like who actually owns Maxwell's Purchase?) A load of fun battles and other missions
So, watering anyone's mouth yet?
After I test it this last time, it will come out of beta and then it will be up to Gildor to put it out for me. The public will have to be my testers.
Another note, straight from the Docs:
"I stole a graphic from Galactic Scourge (a sort of torpedo launcher thing). I know I'm probably breaking copyright laws, but c'mon, both GS and Confed Rule are freeware, so no one's losing any money, right? Please forgive me.:) "
Seriously though, will I get sued for this? I could just replace it with a banal graphic, but it will lessen the realistic enjoyment of the game. I would contact the makers of GS but it seems like a load of bother just over one graphic. Advice, anyone?
So, that's Confed Rule. Any suggestions, comments, thoughts?

What is the new ship called? Confed Dreadnought? what is the new weapon and its ammo? Heavy Torpedo? Several disticint characters? What do you mean by that? That there is a lots of different ways people behave trough storylines? ConEx is very cool. It has never been before, because nobody has written a plug for EV about it. So youll expand the UGE storylines besides a few missions, and a repeating one? What will it contain? Cydonia? How will this pitiful single-system government (which you dont even know exists unless you explore a lot), which doesnt even have a Earth-like planet like be involved? Militia... I cant imagine what a storyline for them would be like. They do nothing except lightly try to prevent piracy. This is the most original of them all (even more so than ConEx).
Who owns Maxwells Purchase... is it supposed to be a mystery? I ask because I havent played EV for a while. ------------------ I am eager to try to ansver mission questions
