Product Description:

EV Nova is the third game in the Escape Velocity series, and is by far the most ambitious installment to date. With a completely redesigned gaming engine, EV Nova thrusts you into a sprawling universe dominated by a myriad of warring factions, each sharing a common bond, but so philosophically different as to make conflict inevitable. It is into this maelstrom of territorial contention that you are thrust, like a pebble tumbling aimlessly between the tectonic fault lines that uncomfortably separate these divisions of humanity. Welcome to EV Nova. Will the pebble become an avalanche?

This is organized completely different form past updates.

I can't use my assorted plugins, which kept the game new.(where do I put them?)

I can't use my old pilot files either (where do I put them?)

--- this one also leaves tracks on my screen from weapon fire

Back to my backup copy while I wait for updated info regarding the above "challenges"

Wow. What a great game. I bought this right away back when it first came out years ago - had been playing the two previous versions before it - and it is still very playable.
It is VERY addictive though - hard to put it away.
Good graphics, fast action - sometimes REALLY fast... like when you hyperspace into the middle of a fleet battle.
The game does have very complex control options which can take a while to get comfortable with.
The in-depth and involved missions and story line make each playing experience different - even after playing the game through many times. I am still not sure I have uncovered everything the game has hidden.
This is one of the best games I ever came across.

If you are a mac user (or windows) and you like space games and you like role-playing games then you should be downloading the demo right now. Play the demo and you will know that you must purchase this game.
