I played EV original for the first time since getting nova...
and two things really struck me. First is how fast and smooth it runs. (my computer is on the minimal edge of running nova, but thats 10 times faster then the computer I played EV for days and days on.
And the second thing is how stinking slow hyperspaceing is... I couldn't stand it.
Inerita less ships, or tunneling organs and not to mention multi jumps really make hyperspaceing nothing. The standard ships are also much faster to jump, and more dont need to slow down as much, and haveing capslock double jump speed, hyperspaceing is at least 4 times faster in nova, and ten times faster still with multijumps. Add to that the dozens of fuel generating outfits, and most ships can do infinite range hyperspaceing.
It makes a huge universe so much smaller. I used to count each hyperspace jump on alternate paths just to save a jump or two, now it dosent matter, you can fly through or around anything with no pain. I want EV ported just so I can add a tunneling organ and play it again, because as it is, it just feels too slow its unbearable. (I actually had a plugin to make every single ship in EVO have fast hyperspace because i loved the feature so much.)
