In the original Escape Velocity, about five years before Nova, it was fuel. That's why it's still called that.

NCB's used to be Mission Bits.

Bounty Hunters used to be a Kestrel that showed up in every other system to harass you because you'd dominated Pirate bases.

Argosies were a medium-large freighter that could be upgraded into something decent, but usually a stepping stone before getting a Corvette.

The Rebellion was Red.

It's sort of like legacy code, but for a video game.

Go, red team!

Sorry, couldn't resist. I always was a rebel at heart.

EV and EVO were the games that always held more appeal to me than EVN. They were simple, spartan, retro, and had realistic stories. You never became a demigod in EV.

Which is one of the things I'm doing to make Nebula a better storyline than stock EVN.

Yes you did... "They'll try to kill with a forkliiiiiifft!" But I do agree with you on their appeal.
