Before removing plug-ins you need to get rid of all data of the used plug-ins within the game (i. e. outfits, ships, etc.). Afterwards remove the 'Last Pilot' file in your pilots folder. Than restart the game and open your pilot via the 'Open Pilot' button. Nova will warn you that your pilot still may have active events etc. of a removed plug-in. Just press 'Ok' and enter the game. Maybe you will have problems if you use other plug-ins with this pilot because of set mission bits etc. It's recommended that you always make a backup of your pilot file so you can revert to the original pilot anytime.
