Well, you can do what my team's doing: just that, work as a team. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it does. 'Course, it tends to help that QT and I know each other IRL, so we'll whack each other upside the head occaisonally when we're not doing anything. BariSaXGuy5 and Divals the Conqueror are doing a great job on our graphics.

I can see how an individual effort would be a major problem: Onyx tried to do that with Cold Blood, which looked incredible. But no one person can handle that kind of work, unless you skimp on everything, which means you plug sucks.

Personally, I think a team plug's the best way to go. However, I can also see how pooled resources would be great. Only problem is getting enough continuity with it: no two missionwriters will write the same way, and no two graphics artists design ships/weapons/outfits/whatever the same way. So if you get a really really cool ship from one guy, you're gonna have one ****uva time finding another ship that looks anything like it.

Of course, you wouldn't have that idea with mission ideas, as they're just that: ideas. However, ideas tend to run out after a while, as even the Nova engine has its limits. What doesn't run out is new ways to combine them, like that idea of being sent by one government to capture a high official, then having a choice of either taking him in or defecting to his government. Or my idea of using combined cröns and missions to do a plugin based entirely on time travel (incredibly complicated, but would be very cool). Your possibilities are much less limited with Nova.

Have a good week.
