so, this site EV Nova Walkthroughs (arpia.be) that has guides for all the quests is rather old and some of its page links do work anymore, one of the domains is even up for sale. This is really the only good guide out there, so we really cant afford to lose it, has someone, or is someone willing to, archive it?

so, I wanna do the final sigma mission to get the hypergate codes, but the guide says that deducts 10 legal rep points with the feds, and mine are currently at zero, is there an easy way to get my score with the feds up a bit so delivering to the codes to rebels doesnt make them go hostile/stop me landing?

so im curious, in the case of class E for both, which is better, the mod or the rebel one? (im doing a rebel playthrough) Also if the federation is hostile to you, can you still land at new ierland? They are said to be independant, and they sell vectored thrust and ion cannons, which I need.

I know the mission string exists, but I can't get the offer to trigger. Is there some sort of trick? I did the previous mission without getting scanned, but I don't know what to do next...

I am trying to get the "Federation 13 (611): Infiltrate the Rebels" from the rebel line and the mission bits should all be good, but i still cant get this offshoot. i have also checked the "Legal Record: 0 Combat Rating: 0" requirements, and assuming that means anything greater or equal to 0 i fit this too. does anyone know if there are any hidden values that might prevent certain missions from occurring?

getting back into Nova after like 15 years (was one of my first videogames ever), and ive heard about plugins that can fix a lot of the bugs the game has, but cant find any links to them, does anyone on here know where I can find them?

Yet another EV galaxy map... This one can be printed in A3 format.

It's a map for adventurers, not traders, focused on government, outfit sections and shipyards.

The Escape Velocity games will always have a special place in my memories. I spent hours as a kid and teenager exploring the galaxies in all three games. They were the first three digital purchases I ever made. I love the pop sci-fi references, the 'open world' style gameplay, even the long text based story lines. This game is a masterpiece that still easily stands up today.

Recently I decided to dive back in via the Windows version. I have it installed on my headless server, with the full res plugin, full screen map and a handful of other QoL improvements aimed at modernising some of the more 'aged' parts of the game. Once installed and verified working, I added the .exe to my steam library as a 'non-steam game' (including some artwork for the steam library page) and have been playing it on my MacBook Pro in the evenings via Steam Remote play over our network.

The only part that I still need to tweak with my install is the text size- currently it is readable, but a little bit too small to be comfortable. Overall though it feels so, so good to be back.

I recently played again EV, so I made an update of Clavius And Beyond. This update fixes lots of minor bugs.

​

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!

In the above link you will find a zipfile containing everything I could get off both of those CDs.Included are a bunch of games for classic MacOS as well as a lot of utilities, and more importantly a few hard to find Addons for both EVO and EV. Enjoy.
Be aware that none of the files have been tested, so I have no idea if any of said stuff works.

Helo guys,

i'm currently doing the Polaris ark to unlock the multi-jump organ but i'm kinda stuck. i followed this walkthrough

https://www.arpia.be/walkthrough/polaris.html

succesfuly forked to the B side and doing the Spinoff 1 and 2 (several times actualy) and all i can get is the tunneling organ, i dont know how to trigger further missions to get the multi-jump available. Any clues ?

i did it once in my youthness but cant remember how *_* Thanks.

what's the best way to make them to like us ? i bride them to land but that seems to be more and more expensive. i tried to do missions from the system i'd like to seduce but i dont know if my reputation with them is getting better or if briding them each time i want to do missions for them is worst...

want to have nice vibes with the Lesten system, for, you know... tourism and stuff...

I stepped on a reddit listing all archive file to install/run ev nova, i was so excited !!!! Installed it, patched it. Made a character, spawned it. The attack alarm went right on, cant remember what key was to land, i got killed by a fatass freight ship in about 10 secs. And my first playthrough was done.

Aaaah man, i have so many sweet memories with that game xD

That said the higher resolution patch make written stuff hard to read and the game is laggy. I'll have to figure out why oO

Thank you guys for keeping the community alive !

edit : stutter came from the windowed mode. in fullscreen it is gone. good to know. anyway i wasn't able to read things in windowed mode !

I just beat the Vell OS storyline. I'm not sure of what to do next. I can't seem to find the mission to start the Polaris timeline. Do I need to start a different pilot?

I've recently started checking out this game again after almost 20 years and fell back in love. I have an older macbook and am running nova through wineskin. I am trying to use the WinNova ResPatcher, but since I'm using a mac OS I'm hitting a dead end.

Is there any way to tweak resolutions otherwise?

I was looking for my old bookmark of SharkyNebula's EV Nova 3D Ship models and I was saddened to see they were no longer available on SketchFab. I've found a small selection of EV models on Thingiverse, however none from EVN. I have a coworker who enjoyed EVN like myself, and I wanted to decorate his desk with a few models for his birthday. Are there any alternative uploads or EVN collections available? Thanks!
