• The dësc resource
	Desc resources store null-terminated text strings (descriptions) that are used by EV in a variety of places. For some desc resources, EV looks for a certain reserved ID number. Other desc resources are pointed to by fields in other resources, so their ID numbers are not necessarily fixed, and can be set to virtually anything by the scenario designer. The reserved desc ID numbers, along with the maximum length for each type, are below:

128-1628	Stellar object descriptions, shown when landed on a planet. 
2000-2063	Ship class descriptions, shown in the shipyard and requisition-escort dialog. 
2100-2163	Ship pilot descriptions, shown in the hire-escort dialog. 
3000-3127	Outfit item descriptions, shown in ship outfitting dialog.
4000-4255	Mission descriptions, shown in mission dialog.
