The third incarnation of the Escape Velocity series finds you as a young pilot with a brand-new shuttlecraft, full power cells, and an entire universe to explore. You must choose which missions to take, which people to trust and which gear to buy. Will a rack of solar panels be more useful than a shiny new laser turret? Which ship has the best layout for your playing style? You'll be able to choose from literally hundreds of ships and upgrades in your journeys.
The high quality graphics and transparency effects of EV Nova engine are a dramatic improvement over previous versions, while the ambitious story presents you with a myriad of choices that promises extensive replayability. And if that isn't enough, players can install or create additional plugins to enhance gameplay or introduce entirely new stories, the possiblities are limitless.
