Dunno if this'll work, or keep my interest. Bored. need something to do. Escape Velocity Nova is a fun little shareware game by Ambrosia that was originally on a Mac and was ported to Windows, if you're familiar with games such as Freelancer, then you'll know the kind of game EV Nova is. Buy stuff, trade, kill stuff, eventually capture planets etc etc. We'll have a bit of interactive stuff, so I shall start off with a simple question and a slightly harder question that can be thought about for a bit longer. If anyone cares, anyway. Question 1: Pilot name Question 2: What team will said pilot be aligned with? The Federation is the typical human empire, they own a pretty big part of the galaxy and have rather typical, if not slightly upper-tier ships. Rumour has it, there's someone higher up controlling it. The Aurorans are the largest empire in the game owning LOADS of systems on the "southern" area of the galaxy, they're split into houses that often conflict and fight. Imagine them as like... widespread Irish, they love fighting, fighting and more fighting. On the other hand, their technology and thus their unique ships are low-tier. The Polaris are an isolated group of humans who left earth a long long time ago, they split themselves into castes to perform whatever they do and hardly come into contact with other empires. Their technology is unmatched, their cybernetic organisms (or spaceships to you and me) are a pleasure to pilot, a deadly weapon and horrifically hard to fight. The Vell-os are a race of psychics whose numbers are boosted by anyone... unfortunate enough to show psychic capabilities. They are a rare sight and don't even fly spaceships, they ride through space in mental projections and use psychic attacks to deal damage. The Rebels like to row row fight the power of the confederation, they only own a handful of systems versus the might of the federation, but they won't live with the crimes that they commit behind the scenes. As one would expect, poor selection of ships. Time to choose Dr Freeman. |

Escape Velocity...the name sounds familiar. Sounds interesting. Anyway, I vote Vell-os, they sound cool. Pilot name? No clue. Make someone else come up with one. |

Maybe I'd participate more but I haven't played EV for like 6 years+ lol. I actually registered the original even though the registered version did absolutely nothing but get rid of captain hector.. Just cuz the game was *THAT* good for a shareware game. Was kinda dissapointed that the unregistered versions of nova and override weren't so generous. I think I played nova least of all the 3, even though I liked it more than override (maybe more than the original too, I forget). |
