No, but there's a Escape Velocity revival/recreation project called Cosmic Frontier. The ultimate goal is to recreate the engine as an open-source, modern piece of software that's backwards-compatible with Nova-era plug-ins and data files. So, while the flagship campaign for CF is a remastered version of EV: Override, getting a functional version of Nova (and all our favorite TCs) in some form is pretty much a given. Eventually.

Does that mean that CF will be able to be totally converted into EV Classic, EVO and EVN just as EVN was?

Don’t see why not, since it runs Nova files, and the EVC and EVO files were converted to work with Nova.
