The original Escape Velocity instantly took the Mac shareware community to a standstill, and in an age of 56k modems, was one multi-megabyte download worth waiting for.

Escape Velocity Nova promises to continue the tradition.

 Low-Yield Earth-Penetrating Nuclear Weapons
For a steel rod to penetrate concrete, the minimum velocities for penetration is about one half a kilometer per second (1100 miles per hour).
This severely limits the missile to impact velocities of less than about three kilometers per second for missile cases made from the very hardest steels.
In actual practice the impact velocity and penetration depth must be well below this to ensure the missile and its contents are not severely damaged.

One was, barely, recognizable; Nendel felt he had seen it before, in his history classes perhaps, a centuries-old relic of an earlier attempt to escape government tyranny, though that cause was tainted with the fouler curse of slavery.
He thought of the flag streaming from his panzer's mast; it was nearly identical to the first national flag of the Confederate States of America, three big horizontal bars, red-white-red, with a big square starfield in the corner over two of them.
The Confederate flag had carried a blue field, with one white star for each state in the Confederacy; the Republic's flag held a single, large star on fl, symbolizing a united Republic across the depths of space.

If you accelerate to a velocity ten miles over the speed limit, perhaps three quarters of the rest of traffic passes you.
