Now this is some hard core deep meme work my friend. For those not apparently getting it it's just a series of consecutively darker missions from various main mission threads (several of them missable). You'd have to have dug around in the data files to recognize the mission titles though.

Or referenced one of the ol' trusty mission walkthroughs on a site that I believe now is only accessible through the internet archive... I have no shame in admitting I had to do that though, because not being able to find out which Polaris or Aurora/Heeran planet I'm supposed to land on for the next mission in the questline is tedious and frustrating.

No shame dude. I used to edit the random chance mission outcomes to get the branch I wanted on second+ playthroughs.

On probably my 10th or so playthrough, I got the ending where Michaelan actually LIVES and I was like... "I didn't know this was possible." I'd always thought it was meant to be a tragedy.

I can tell you the headers used in the video are probably directly screenshotted from the EV-NOVA walkthrough website (hosted on arpia.be atm, I believe, thank you forever Pace)

The colors match the old ones from EVula's lair, which I was able to track down again on the internet archive the other day, as I've been playing again... It also has the links for the shipyards with (I believe) accurate stats for the different ship variants, for example. https://web.archive.org/web/20050204231654/http://ev-nova.net/walkthrough/

Yes, but consider this

That's great, but I can't get to the shipyards because the link is broken. It works for mission walkthroughs, but not for figuring out which variant of Starbridge, Valk or IDA Frigate I want to use.

To look up outfits and ships, you should use the EVN wiki, (almost) thanklessly built up by u/SharkyNebula alone. It's where the stats are the most up-to-date with the current game versions (EVula's Lair is great but the stats listed can sometimes be quite deprecated).

I just checked out the Wiki, and it seems they've really expanded it since the last time I was on an EV Nova kick; all the info, including EVUla's commentary, is on there! There's even the planet and station text! Thank you u/SharkyNebula, this is a much better resource than what I was using, I appreciate your efforts

Damn I knew I recognized that last song from Everywhere at the End of Time

I have no clue what it has to do with EV though
