Make sudgestions like what ship you want put in next, etc here.

I'll work on putting engine glows, graphics tweaking, and tilt sprites later, so dont pester me about those.

Great, it's about time someone did this. I remember a discussion about a Freespace Nova in the EVN forums back when the game was new.

Nice work. *digs up copy of EVN*

Don't make the colossus as big as the Fed Carrier.

Make it as long as a whole page.

How are you going to work out beam glows?

I'll have to worry about that much much later. Its possible i might not be able to do it without making a ridiculous amount of sprites. For one, i know theres no way to do the charging.

Holy crap...I love you, in a non-romantic way.

This works for both versions of the game?

yah, it doesent use any resources in the main .rez files, so it'll work in any version.

Great job :) I'd like to see the whole game ported over, such as all the star systems and factions/ships :)

Hmm...I'll have to see if I can alter this myself. It doesn't accept basic upgrades like batteries, solar panels, gravimetric or IFF sensor, auto-recharger...this gets annoying after a bit, and insures not all the mass can be used. In any case, though, the perseus is fun to fly, and it matches up fairly well against Vipers of both Fed and Pirate varieties...although when I went up against a Pirate Manticore it EMP'd me to hell and gone with one shot.
