+I wanted to include Escape Velocity from the start, but couldn't figure out a way of doing so until now!

+Extensive fan-made mods and total conversions +6 distinct storylines that lead to very different ships and technologies You might like Escape Velocity if you like. You can choose to focus on whichever aspect you find most appealing as you purchase better ships and customize them with weapons and other outfits to fit your needs. Exploration, trading, top-down 2d space combat and navigation, varied missions, and six different storylines are the core of the game. You start in the cockpit of your newly purchased shuttle, a naive new pilot. I actually failed to create the starbridge a week ago, but determination and han zimmer's music gave me the knowledge I needed. The Feds have too few ships in their bays, the Aurorans take too long to launch, and the Polaris prices are nothing short of highway robbery (for 1/2 a mil a piece, I expect them to take the planetary defense fleet single-handedly and make the whole crew dinner afterwards). I chose to go with the modified class C version instead. Great game, I just wish I had picked a different storyline. S-35 Modified Starbridge Created by Gortern Here it is, the most iconic starship in EV Nova, the Starbridge. Unfortunately it was too late at that point to pick a different main storyline, and I wasn't about to start a new game and give up all the progress I had already made. Eventually I did do the storyline just because I wanted to "beat" the game and post to this list, but I resisted for a long while. Once I realized what was happening in the storyline, I actually used process manager to kill the program to prevent it from auto-saving, then spent many hours ignoring the storyline and enjoying my sandbox freedom while I explored more planets.

That's not a cool thing to do in a sandbox game! I was enjoying the game because it gave me a sense of freedom! Don't take that away from me!

You eventually do free yourself, but for a long time you're severely restricted in what you can do, and they even took away my hard-earned capital ship with its huge cargo space, and replaced it with a tiny little fighter, without asking me. The Vell-os storyline basically involves you becoming a slave and going on missions AGAINST YOUR WILL for an evil government organization. It does not, however, assume you retool outfitting space into cargo space if you have less than 10.DO NOT pick the Vell-os storyline! If you meet a Vell-os in a bar and he wants you to go on a mission, say no, no matter how insistent he is! "Retooled space" is a formula that converts as much cargo space to outfitting space as possible while still leaving at least 10 tons of cargo, because having less is a pain. The "Bonus Params" page allows you to set a telepathic level and have that calculate new effective shields, shield regen, and jump capacities It's all copy and pasted from the ( ), so any errors there will be duplicated hereĪll columns past "Outfits" are unlabelled because they are inconsistent between ships, and I didn't care enough about them to try to fix it It's deadly at a distance with heavy railguns and missiles, and maneuverable enough to be just as deadly up close. Not only is it one of the biggest and most powerful capitol ships in the game, it also looks like a spiky black manta ray with feelers. They usually travel in packs, so the best way to deal with them is via EMP torpedoes or alone. Shoutout to my girlfriend, who helped me use regex to separate some columns and improve sorting The Class V Rebel Valkyrie is one of the best variants, outmatched only by the Pirate Valkyrie with its ion cannons. You can sort it by whatever you want, and it includes some utility columns that I found useful: Hey guys, I made a google spreadsheet with all the ships in vanilla EV nova and their important stats.
