Escape Velocity Resource Template V5

I've created ResEdit TMPLs for a number of the types used in EV Data, you can download them and use them with ResEdit to change the behaviour of a number of things in Escape Velocity. The resource file has some TEXT resources that explain some of the fields, at this point all resources are completely decoded. This template was current as of version 1.0.1 of Escape Velocity.

Vorlons Plug-in V2

This plug-in is inspired by the Babylon 5 Vorlon alien race. It is designed for Escape Velocity 1.0.1. At present it is not yet finished. You can download it and try it out. Some ship features:

• one person ship
• Randomly generated versions can not be captured
• single powerful energy weapon
• heavily shielded
• can not accept any turrets or guns, use the built-in weapon, it will knock most stuff out of the sky with ease.
• 50 tons of cargo space.
• 10 jumps/refuel
• 1 day/jump
• highly manuverable
• custom graphics by Marc Britten along with help from my brother Kevin Oliver

Basically, this what would happen if you merge the Kestrel, the Lightening and the Confederate Cruiser and added a single extremely powerful weapon.

Missions surrounding the Vorlon homeworld are planned and the ability to buy the ship will not be automatic, e.g. initially you will have to accomplish some tasks in order to earn the ship. Presently there is a mission in the computer that will always appear that allows you to fight pirates, I use this to test the ship as I modify it. The Vorlon Space is located past Apollo on the standard map.

Please e-mail me your feedback.
