In the Polaris Preamble included in the EV Nova documentation, the former Nil'kemorya leader Iusia expresses his regret for having to fight a civil war to end a conflict between the castes.
Since the entire data of all Escape Velocity games is easily readable using resource editors and the like, it is measurable fact (by hacking game data) that there were many more non-trivial missions in the older EV games (at least 5x-20x more, depending on one's definition of 'trivial').

 Escape Velocity Nova
With a rush of fear, he realized that he had to escape before he was boarded, as the pirates would almost certainly activate the self-destruct in their bumbling around his ship.
The passengers were safe, he knew, as their escape pods were equipped with auto-ejecting mechanisms that would flip the chairs into the escape pods in the underbelly of the ship.
Escape pods were just valuable enough that they could be used to bribe someone, but not so valuable that they had decent resale value, especially not used ones.

The Polaris have long been sympathetic to the Rebel cause, recognizing the essential rightness of their struggle.

 Escape Velocity Nova Review
The original EV ran perfectly on the PB 1400, and Escape Velocity: Override fit my Pismo Powerbook quite nicely (though many of the new ships were quite ugly).
The sheer magnitude of the Escape Velocity universe is dizzying, albeit repetitive at times.
Escape Velocity: Nova is a fine addition to Ambrosia's legendary series, and it is still one of the best laptop games available.

 Curmudgeon Gamer - Review: Escape Velocity: Nova
Escape Velocity: Nova (EV:N) is the third in a series of Star Control-esque games from small developer Atmos, published by perennial Mac favorite Ambrosia Software.
In Escape Velocity: Nova you are a pilot starting off in Federation space with a lowly shuttle.
When you do the Polaris string you'll recognize and interact with characters from the Vell-Os, and the Federation and Rebellion strings share the same cast of characters, with you fighting for either side.

 IMG Reader Reviews: Escape Velocity: Nova
Nova brings some of that sense back while clinging tightly to the idea of a huge, complicated universe that made Override a worthy if less exuberent sequel.
My main beef with Nova, though, is the way almost all the mission strings have something to do with people having superhuman powers, particularly with YOUR having superhuman powers.
EV: Nova is, in the simplest terms, the best, most addictive game i have ever played.

 Clan MacGaming - Escape Velocity: Nova Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The revamped universe of EV: Nova is enormous.
You will join one of the sides (Rebels, Federation, Polaris, Auroran, Pirate, or Vell-os), usually not by choice, and from then on you will be affecting the future of the known universe itself.
Whether the game lives up to the high standards of previous entries in the Escape Velocity series is debatable, but on its own it is a highly recommended game.

They'd have a good reason to point to it as well, since Escape Velocity Nova is a fairly sharp little game.
To the East, you'll find the technologically advanced Polaris who base their society on a caste system and are extremely xenophobic.
The Polaris seem to fire on anything that they don't personally invite in to their space, Pirates, Federation, Aurorans, and naturally, the player too.

I eventually jumped through to the Polaris system (had to move quickly through their entrance systems as they outright attacked me) and got to the main world that sold Cambrians.
I still think that if systems were physcally larger than they are, and that you had to target a jump gate and go through it to get out of it, it'd make for a much more interesting experience.
The Nova stories are fairly linear with no opportunities for the player to make up their own mind, but the engine fully supports branching story-lines where every decision you make will open up new possibilities.

Okay, I'm playing escape velocity nova (google it) and I'm doing the polaris campaign..
If your combat rating is high enough, you have done all of the prerequisite Polaris missions, and you frequent that port, you should be able to get the cloaking device and/or warp tunnelling/multi-jump device missions.
That's why you don't want to play Polaris mission string first time around because you'll want the multijump organ so much you can't play without it.

 So, who plays Escape Velocity: Nova? - MacNN Forums
Ah well, it was a good idea the Escape Velocity, but it was never improved upon even if it had plenty of room to do so.
There are times where you have to make a decision that will influence the further development of the plot, although indeed not to such an extent that the final outcome will be changed (the McGraw subplot in the pirate string, for instance...), and some storylines will randomly branch at certain points (Polaris, Wild Geese...).
Still very limited of course, and I tend to agree that EVN is more linear than it could have been, but there's always plug-ins...

Man, The Polaris ships are like 3x better than the Javelin and I wish I could get those Krypt pods.
Supply and demand in Nova are totally elastic: no matter how much you buy or sell the price on station A will always remain at X, which is dumb and leads to a changeless and therefore boring and exploitable economy.
The way I see it, the OC economy would mostly be made up of squad-owned bases and factories which dealt in commodities for a purpose.
