      I suggest you look at these EV Nova Screenshots, and the Nova Preambles, which outline the various cultures present in the game.

      S he (Hector is female) steals your money based on the amount you have. It's another way of persuading you to register. After the thirty day trial period, it gets worse. Eventually, she'll start attacking you, and you can't fight back, as she is (almost) indestructible.

      The Miranu are very picky about these things. There's not much you can do about it.

    • I've had EVO since it came out, but I haven't registered (I know I know I'm a bad person, but I don't have any money) but Hector has never attacked me.
      Playing for the Igadzra is cool, but hard. I'm still on that damn 'kill the armies' mission, and have been for a couple of months.

      Try going the other way.

      I also just relized that it is a prequel heh.

      EVO is completely unrelated to EV.

      Quote

      And the weapons are all poo. With my shuttle I killed a krait fighter. wtf? they are so dam weak.

      Krait fighters are very weak, but not all the fighters are like that.

      Quote

      hhmm well I am playing for the UE but not really intentionally. I attacked one ship and Im a fellon on all their planets now.

      How exactly is that working for the UE?

      Quote

      And about the Renegades. Do they always attack? Or do They only attack after I have killed on of their ships?

      The Renegades attack everything they see, they're not holding a grudge against you because you killed one Krait.

      Quote

      And I captured a heavy voian fighter heh with the scout ship. And whatever the ship is above the krait in design. Is that ship like the argosy?

      The Helian is not like the Argosy.

      Quote

      How many other civilizatins are there?

      At the start of the game, the spacefaring civilazations are the humans, the Voinians, the Emalgha, the Miranu, the Zidagar, the Azdgari, and the Igadzra. The last three are all one species, the Gadzair, I think. There are also several non-spacefaring civilazations. Aside from the Hinwar (who go into space during the game), however, these civilazations are not important.

      Quote

      I also saw this ship that was called the igzagra or something and it was long and orange and yellow, I hailed it and it didnt respond.

      Some people like to be left alone.

      Quote

      And whats up with all these alien ships and weapons? They are lots more powerfull than the human weapons and cost dam more too.

      The curse word you're trying to say is "damn." And the aliens are more powerful in some areas, so what?

      Quote

      Also do races get mad at you faster in this one?

      I don't think so.

      Quote

      Because I need a ship to haul stuff so if I attack a Miran freighter what will my legal status be?

      The Miranu will get a little mad at you. But if you're trading in human and Miranu space, then you should be pretty safe with the large human freighter, what's it called...

      Quote

      And now I have the scout ship and a million dollars.

      A million credits.

      Quote

      What is a good ship to buy that can hold a fighter bay? and Why fight for the race that u said the adarzari have those kick ass fighters but they seem to be mean.

      Fighters aren't worthwile, I never use them. The Azdgari are only mean to the other two strands.

      Quote

      And what is the deal with the council station?

      You won't find out in the game, but some plug-ins expand on the council.

      Quote

      And whats with the such high mercy payments in this. IN EV its always like 5 thou and below. Some of the bigger shipes start at 20 thou to lay off!

      Too bad, deal with it. The galaxy's a tough place.

      Quote

      Where can I read about this EV Nova?.....Ah yes there is a forum but is there any concrete info on the game? Like some screens or ships stats.

      Please see the topic "A NOVA Newbie's Guide" at the NOVA board.

      It's a factor of both the number of days you've had EV Override and the number of hours you've played it.

    • Heh u guess I was using wtf a bit too much..

      About the pluggins The ones Ive tried to use have not worked with me running on basislisk. Refer to topic "Frozen Heart Crash Problem" topic all who can help me. and btw who are the emaglu? or whatever, I saw one of their ships it was called disco something. Are they they race enslaved that rebelled against the voinians? I dont care if fighters are effective they are cool.

      And is there some way I can do missions for several strand govenmonts? Like if I killed enough renegades to repair my legal status would the missions be there? Those huge yellow and orange idagrazdi or whatever ships attack me on sight I dont like it...

      The Emalgha have not been enslaved by the Voinians- yet. You will decide their fate. You have already encountered the Disco Bison, congratulations. I don't think the Disco Bison is actually piloted by Emalgha, though. You can work for two of the strands if you start their mission strings at the same time. You can do all three strands with the plug-in Triple Agent, if you figure out how to run them.

      I know how to run them, but they error.

      The Emalgha were enslaved by the Voinians, but they rebelled while the Voinians were concentrating their forces in the early attacks on the human race.

      Oh, the hours keep resetting to 0. I hardly ever play EVO any more, but I'll register Nova when it comes out. Huh, I finished the Igadzra string, but I'm a felon in half their systems and a role model in the other half. It don't make no sense.

      It is possible to destroy her using either space bombs or the forklift in conjunction with either asteroids or other ships, but it is very hard, and it doesn't do any good, since she somehow manages to escape and return to attack you again even though (as far as I remember) she doesn't have an escape pod.
