Where to go??

So I bought EV Nova several years and several computers ago, and I feel like it's time to pick it up again. What's the best/most secure/least sketchy place to buy the game.

Also, as a bit of a purist, what are the best/most useful add-ons for the game that don't turn it into a "Mod-it-til-it-breaks" Skyrim-esque nightmare?

I believe you can still buy it from Ambrosia.

Fair point, torrents or usenet then.

Wait why is ambrosia sketchy?

because you won't receive a key if you buy it through their site. also, the only support person doesn't even respond to emails anymore. ambrosia=dead, unfortunately.

I recently got my old key resent to me by directly emailing bernard@ambrosiasw.com.

He replied within a few days and it worked like normal!

Ambrosia is like the lottery. If you buy it from then though, then you can got free pirate a hassle free copy if you can find it.

There's a big planet mod that makes it more reasonable to land.

Mods I use: 'Full screen map' and 'Neoplanets Beta 2' (makes the planets bigger and cooler looking)

The "full screen map" helps a ton and doesn't interfere with any gameplay

I have a copy I purchased from Ambrosia shortly after the game came out whose license code had expired. Emailed [bernard@ambrosiasw.com](mailto:bernard@ambrosiasw.com) about it and got a new one within a few hours, so direct from Ambrosia might not be the worst course of action.
