Note: All plug-ins are Mac plug-ins, so Windows users will have to convert them. Instructions for doing this can be found in the Windows EV Nova folder.

All EVN plug-ins are sorted by usefulness and coolness rather than date.

Dësc Fixer 1.0.7b

This plug-in is the result of many long hours of labor by our staff member William (LoneIgadzra) to fix every typo (and lots of other text-related problems) he found while playing EVN. It should be noted that in doing so he sacrificed much of the enjoyment to be had from playing EVN in uninterrupted sittings. The latest version (1.0.7b) is the result of even more testing. It fixes even more EVN 1.0.6 problems, but will be formally released when EVN 1.0.7 is, for continuity's sake.

High Res Splash Screen 1.0

Another one of William's fixer plug-ins, this one took shape the first time he played EVN on his iBook and noticed that ATMOS hadn't bothered to make the splash (loading) screen fill a 1024x768 screen. This struck him as, well, kind of dumb in this day and age, so he whipped out Photoshop and ResEdit and fixed it.

Vectored Thrust Tone-Down 1.0

While playing EV Nova, LoneIgadzra felt very guilty about turning his huge Raven into a fighter by spending only 50,000 credits for a Vectored Thrust that shouldn't even be compatible with Polaris technology, let alone a huge-ass carrier. This plug-in resulted. It makes it impossible for big ships to buy the Vectored Thrust outfit. Since it works by replacing half the ship resources, it is a forgone conclusion that, if EVN patches have changed ship data recently, you should not use this plug-in, and also be aware that conflicts with other plug-ins that change the stock ships are very likely.

Please send all feedback and bug reports to william@pioneerstreet.com so that this plug-in can be improved!

FPC Changer 1.0

This is a simple plug-in that LoneIgadzra decided was needed in order for Fusion Pulse Cannons in EV Nova to be balanced. All it does is change them so that they are just what they say - cannons and not front quadrant turrets. It takes into account the latest FPC balance changes in EV Nova 1.0.6. Not recommended for use with later versions of EVN (assuming ATMOS keeps altering the stats of FPC's).
