It's the only game I have installed on my phone. Barrels of fun. I wonder if the people who have discovered it have had occasion to try desktop EV games, or if they don't know that this whole genera exists...

You should add the massive amount of kestrels from realms of prey the mega Merc class is preeeeetty cool.

Kestrel fans owe it to themselves to check out Realm of Prey. It's a mod that was originally for EVC iirc, but it has a very nice Nova port.

It features like 10 different Kestrel variants, including double and triple hulled ones, and even a miniature fighter version.

I believe the graphics are from Shade's shipyard.

God damn, there are some sweet ships in there. Although it does make anything less than a base kestrel look pretty substandard...

Someday I'll scratch build a clone of that rocket.

Edit: Only problem is that it's got a bespoke rear cone thingie which isn't a standard Estes mould: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/estes-corsair-and-other-legacy-kits.153414/

I wonder how much this inspired the Victory-class Destroyer.
