NLR/SE mod for Escape Velocity Nova

[Scritches 92]

Been doing a little preliminary work on a mod(referred to as plug-ins by the game makers) for the old PC/Mac game Escape Velocity Nova(the mod itself will be made for the windows)  Thus far I've managed to make a few graphics for the various news stations and start working on the creating the various governments involved.  I will be doing my best to post updates as they come, it will be slow in coming as I have never taken on a project like this before.  Any advice given by those with

 

Planned:

–Custom sounds for weapons/worlds

–at least 3 modified ships for each faction

–at least 1 custom made ship for NLR/SE

–at least 4 new worlds

–at least 1 new weapon for each faction(moon beam, sun beam, party cannon, etc.)

–at least 1 device specific to each pony type(pegasus flight, strength of the earth pony, etc)

–custom made outfitter/shipyard/description images for each ship/weapon/device

–a little backstory for why the various places are in/on different worlds/systems

 

Hoping(but unlikely):

–a short set of story missions for each major faction

–conversion to/support for the Mac version.

 

Seeking:

–Any advice from someone more experienced than myself

–Art/vectors that can be implemented into the game.(With credit to/permission from the respectives artists; specifics to come later)

–Bananas for banana sun goddess?*
