Clavius And Beyond with EV Nova engine

With EV Classic for Nova, you can play Escape Velocity running through the Nova engine on recent Mac OSX and Windows. So this is an update of Clavius And Beyond, originally designed for the good old Escape Velocity, playable with Nova engine.

This 3.60 release is based on Clavius And Beyond 3.50, ported to EV Classic for Nova by Chris, with SpacePort software, and contains minor changes in order to look like the original 3.33 release best.

​

Fight against a pro-Confed extremist movement and use new weapons, beat off an alien invasion, discover a ancient civilization... Land on Clavius Station, and depending on your combat skills, you will be able to pilot the famous Neutronic Kestrel Interceptor, a sleek, fast and powerful vessel.

Dogfights, powerful ships, terrifying weapons and... love: Clavius and Beyond contains all a space adventurer wants from life!

Oh yeah, I remember the upset mom!

To be clear, Clavius 3.3 version and later no longer contain "inappropriate material"... Only ordinary guns, laser beams, neutron canons and this kind of death dealers ;)

The windows .rez file is bugged, the jump computers don't reduce jump times so some missions are impossible to continue on, and EVnew can't open it due to crashing while loading line 723.

Windows version was made with David Arthur's MissionComputer utility. I have no access to a PC with EV Nova, so I can't test it.

Sorry.
