And it has some issues…For some reason I can't determine it's not possible to jump into/out of the system…
There are two new planets and one new system.
In theory, there are two more missions that ought to be active but I can't get them to show up on either planet.
There's also a ship model but when I add it to the new system the game crashes on launch.

The reason you can't jump into the system is that you only have out-pointing links. I'll change the code so that links work both ways. I was able to jump out, however...
The missions didn't show up because you need to have a Boolean named "Missions" set to "Yes" in the planet, and also a String called "MissionFlags". See Mars or another planet with missions. I added these on my copy of your plugin and the missions showed up.
How were you adding the ship? I modified your Type file to use default.ships.G-V instead of default.ships.Shuttle and it worked (it looked like a giant Freighter with Agamemnon texture). I also changed the probability of the Freighter from 0.5 to 0.4 so that the sum of probabilities was 1. |

I never even tried to jump out…I probabally should've. I didn't realize that links had to be two way…it rarely makes sense to have one-way linkes. You might include one-way links as a flag…there are places it could be used.

Ah, my fault there. Thanks for the info.
This doesn't seem like a realistic flag…in a game universe it makes sense to have a base set of missions at all inhabited planets so the player can get money.
Also, can missions have random start points/end points?
Can they end/start randomly only in one government territory?
Hmm…can you get them from ships?
Can you hail/be hailed by ships? Planets?

That probably did it. When I fixed the plug on my end it worked, too.
However, I had _thought_ that I'd made a arrow-shaped ship…I must have messed up with the ship-making software.

Probably you forgot to save  At least you could use it, though, nobody else could even seem to get the program to run. What version of OS X do you have?

Because I need to fix it, which I haven't done yet.

Don't fix it yet. I've changed some things to make EH more plug-friendly. I'll upload it soon.

Hi! I'm glad you like it! At the current time, however, the stuff that comes with the download is all there is. I imagine once the game is actually released there's likely to be more plugins made available. But the group working on things right now is pretty small.
