What I'm Looking For
MDer to do missions
Maybe some artists for custom loading screens, 1 for each race, propaganda?
A few music tracks, maybe one fitting each race you can join, which may be used in combat.
Debuggers - More downloaders of Alpha and bug reports
Some friendly chatter
Requests/suggestions/idea

FeaturesJoin the military - Earn reputation, cash, and notoriety!
Each kill rewards you with money, and of course experience points added to your rank. The higher your rank, the more money you get! In future getting to certain ranks may reward the player with ships, equipment, and more!
Missions - (DISABLED IN ALPHA DUE TO BUGS)!
Partake in your usual missions, defend station, kill enemy ships, etc. but against your racial enemy!
Relations - Prepare to fight who you're meant to!!
If you're Argon, you'll need to kill the Paranid, if you're Split you'll need to kill the Boron. If you're Teladi, well... life's a bit more relaxed. Join a military and your relations will be effected as expected. Be prepared to be locked as an enemy.
Player Property Alerts - Receive instant warnings!!
If you lose a ship or factory, don't worry. No longer will you spend hours longer playing, only to find somethings gone missing and have to trawl through your log. This provides an instant inbox message, telling you what died, where, and at the hands of who!
Sector Alerts - View how dangerous sectors are!!
Your military will keep an up-to-date list of their sectors and the threat levels of them. With Low or Medium, expect a few enemy traders in the sector. If it's listed as Severe, be worried... and it could be worse.
Realistic Capital Explosion - Big Badda BOOM!!
When a Capital or Station blows... it BLOWS. Repeated blasts will flash around the dying ship, finishing with a huge whiteout. You won't be able to see a thing, and chances are you'll be severely fried. Flying a scout past that exploding M2? You don't stand a chance. And if a station blows, nobody is safe.
Weapon Randomiser and Supply - Giving the NPCs a necessary shuffle!!
Less PBG, less Xenon PBE, more RAINBOW CANNON! Prepare for blasts of mixed fire! If the enemy appears to be firing a PBE, 2 PRGs, an IRE, a HEPT, a MD, a PAC and a FBL at you... they probably are. MDs, EBCs, GCs will be stocked with ammo, M7Ms and M8s will be loaded with missiles... and all ships will have a 100% missile fire percentage!
The Information Connection - Quick menu hotkey.!
Point at a military base to open the menu, where you can view ranks, alerts, or join/leave the military. Point at a ship for info on the available bounty. Functionality to point it at one of your fellow pilots and get help will be added!

Thanks etc.Mark, as always.
The guys over in the General Discussion thread, for pointing out problems, doing some debug, and helping with mathsy ideas.
LV for the template.
All the other usual suspects.
Myself for managing to finish this to this point.
Everyone who suggested ideas.
People like TJ who keep asking to play it.
h2o for adding in compatability for dynamic race notoriety such as his own Organic Notoriety, and things like IR, and for his MD Control scripts which will be needed (cross-fingers) in the coming missions.
______________________________________
Suggested Mods/PluginsMARS - Weapons Changing tends to add loads of guns. MARS will work well!
IR and RRF - (When compatability is finished) Lots of ships and battles? Perfect!
XTC - Not compatible. Yet.

Compatability And Advice For AuthorsThis plugin runs plenty of effects on ships upon death, including explosions, damage, warning the player of their own ship deaths etc.
If you have anything you wish to make compatable with this, please add a local variable of ej.military.ignore.ship to the object in question. An example of this is FDN, which uses player owned ships and destroys them, spamming the player with 'Your ship died' messages when this plugin is in use.
