An undocumented Bug has been going around that people cannot impress systems no matter how hard they try. Most of these reports i have noticed came from the news group comp.sys.mac.games.action. This plug-in will hopefully make up for the loss of time and effort.
Tired of doing shipment after shipment, and the planets still don't appreciate you? With this plug-in file, you can rapidly advance through the moral codes either negitively and be the Galactic Scourge, or an Honored Leader all that much quicker. It won't do this immediately, you'll need to make a few deliveries still. If you abort, you will get negetive Good Guy Points from the associated planet. I originally set this for 3000 points a trip, then with this updated version, 3000 good guy points for success, and -5x3000 for an aborted mission or failed mission. However, even though its set for 3000, it appears to only give approximately 256 for each successful trip and vice versa for each aborted mission.
Good Guy Points Legal Status
0 Clean
4 Decent Individual
16 Good Egg
64 Upstanding Citizen
256 Role Model
1024 Pillar of Society
4096 Honored Leader
Evil Guy Points Legal Status
0 Clean
1 Offender
4 Criminal
16 Felon
64 Fugitive
256 Public Enemy
1024 Prime Evil
4096 Galactic Scourge
These mission's will be located in just about every mission computer, and will replace the Ferry Passengers and the Cargo Deliveries. Cargo deliveries now offer 50,000cr instead of the 10,000 along with the good guy points. Each mission will tell you what government will appreciate the delivery. There should be no Plug-in conflicts, unless someone decides to replace these basic missions.
DO NOT ABORT THESE MODIFIED MISSION'S UNLESS YOU WANT THE
RESPONDING GOVERNMENT TO HATE YOU!! unless thats want you want!
If you cannot for some reason, make a shipment, exit the game (quit) and remove the plug-in, resume your game (restarting the Game) and the shipment should be reverted back to its original design. Contact me and i'll make a fix. Future version's will include a Goodship Lollypop space craft, its own weapon's etc.
for suggestions, bugs (i hate them lil critters), why i shouldn't tamper with the almighty EV, or appraisal and idea's you can contact me at alostsol@serv.net
version history
06-24-96 1.3.1
Fixed Green Flags for Confederate Missions, Rebellion Missions and UGE Missions while in the Computer Missions Directory when using the Map.
06-18-96 1.3.0
Minor fixing up
More double checks to avoid further inconsistancies.
Changed Cydonian cargo from garbage to food (guess nobody likes to unload garbage)
06-17-96 1.2.0
Due to some buggy software some unexpected errors had taken place though i thought they were non-existant through double checking before the release of 1.1.0.
Things fixed- Cargo for Cydonian trip is now 10, not -1.
Things fixed- for some odd reason a few of the cargo runs did not give the bonus points or the bad guy points, but this should be fixed in this version.
Things fixed- text for the cargo in mission info while in flight.
06-13-96 1.1.0
Fixed messages for ferry passenger runs for the Rebellion and the UGE, which would say it was a job for the çonfederation.
Added Cargo deliveries for additional Governments including Astex, Cydonian, Lethean, Militia, and the Pirate Communities.
Added a ReadMe document
06-10-95 1.0.0
First created, Governments included were Confederation, Rebellion, and the UGE.

Goodship Lollypop by alostsoul, Kevin Weiss
I will not take responsibility for the use of this Plug-in, in fact if you tried to sue me, it would take years upon years to squeeze any amount of cash outta me, can't squeeze something out if it wasn't in there in the first place... =)
I welcome anyone to include this plug-in with their cheater plug-in (not an add-on plug, because this plug-in does not serve that purpose), but they must include the Read Me and acknowledge me as the author of the Goodship LollyPop cheat (or as i like to say "enhancer".
Last minute update, since i could not get any responses from anyone from Ambrosia, nor #EV IRC Channel, its come to my conclusion a certain key stroke command is important. SHIFT MB and a mouse click on the Title screen of Escape Velocity 1.0.1. That will play a line from War Games, and i have not been able to figure out what else it does. It is possible that it will allow the purchase of the forklift at a *specific* location, but i haven't played it enough to find out if this is true. And as i stated before, nobody will acknoweledge this feature in the game.

Anybody have an idea for a ship design that would fit the goodship lolly? i been working with my recently acquired 3-d graphic program and have learned a difference between cartooning and 3-d design.... there was a graphic i liked a lot that someone created as a start-up replacement for the system 7 logo with a 3-d block of the happy face with a sky background. i was thinking of taking that and making it into a ship of somekind and create a new weapon in the shape of apples (yep the apple inc logo apple) to shoot out and do a lil spin. any graphic designers want to send them to me at alostsol@serv.net? can't guarantee them to be used or to even view them all, but i'll give due notice to those who submit THAT I use. (i would prefer all scene shots such as the Outship pict, outfit pict, spaceward ho picts, etc.)
