Many of them have very specific requirements about your legal record in the system, your combat record, your ship type, the location, the time, along with just plain old random chance. Without the internet, there’s a good chance you’ll miss most of the missions in EV: Nova. Offering different playstyles is another way to increase replayability, but evidently the designers of EV: Nova thought that murder was the best way to deal with everything. For such an open ended game, there’s no way to reach the end of anything without killing everything. Nearly all of the main story missions involve combat in some way, which is a bit of letdown. All you need is a pointlessly long description of somebody’s clothing and you’re good. The federation then enslaves them and forces them to do their evil bidding. A super powerful race of telepathic humans fought a war with the Federation because they were setting planets were they shouldn’t but the Vell-Os (undefeated up to that point) surrender because they don’t want any more bloodshed. The Vell-Os storyline in particular really feels like bad fanfiction. The Wild Geese storyline is fun and well-written, but the majority of the major story lines aren’t going to be willing any Pulitzers. Though there’s a lot that’s great about the game, there are definite areas where things either show their age, or feature poor design.

It’s always nice when developers recognize the potential use of mods and give the tools out so freely. You can find new storylines, ships, upgrades, and more so you can play EV: Nova different ways each time.

In a surprising turn of events, EV: Nova had a big mod scene, with over 70 pages of modifications on the official site alone. You can ask for fuel if you’re out, beg for mercy if you find yourself in over your head, or just shoot the breeze without various pilots across the galaxy. A neat little inclusion is the ability to talk to other ships.
