Some missions will tell you to go to a space station or planet but will not give the name or location of the system that contains the planet. If the planet is in a system with a name you don't recognize it can be difficult to determine where you have to go without looking at every system on the map. With Space Object Finder all you have to do is type in the name of the place you want to go and it will tell you the name of every system that has a space object with the name you searched for. Space Object Finder can also produce a simple map to help you visually locate the system you want to go to. Space Object Finder should work under both OS 9 and OS X. It also works with the data files for all three version of EV (EV, EV:O, and EV:N). e-mail: macutator@macutator.com . Released 11/8/02. Version 2.0. Made by "No One"

WIN plug: This reactivates all(most all) the dead hypergates and reconnects them to the network in a logical fashion. I know there are two other similar plugs, but this one is for WIN EVN. Also includes an expensive "Forged Hypergate Pass" outfit. It will get you unlimited access to the Hypergate network... Just be sure to dodge Bureau and Dechtakar scans -- they want it as badly as you do! kudos to Trooper1023 at bjhaberman@prodigy.net

A small java application that shows a menu, you can use an open dialog that can take multiple images, or just one, or drag the files to the main menu. Depending on the choice it will combine the images into a spin, or it will create a 6x6 spin from one image, then it will ask where to save the new spin. The new spin will be saved as a pict. Can extract mask from transparency and no longer screws up with transparency. Now stays open after finishing a spin and will remember the last location used to open and the last location to save as long as it stays open. Check for updates at: http://evweb.aresaxis.us/

The Experienced Space-Farer is back! This version is exactly the same as the first except it should work for PC users who aren't given the option of what character to play as at the beginning of a new game. This version should force the choice to be The Experienced Space-Farer! ESF simply allows you to skip some of the monotony of starting a new pilot, making starting cash with petty trading, etc. You start the game in a Rebel Valkyrie Class V with 10 million credits. If the Rebel Valk. is not the ship of your choice, you can always sell it and use that 10 million towards another ship. This plug should be compatable with all other plugs unless you have a plug that does the same thing. ESF uses char. resourse 129, so if you know youre using that, you probably know how to fix the problem. If you have any problems, feel free to e-mail me at mswer2007-at-yahoo-dot-com. Have fun!

This is a guide for people who want to add a ship that they have modeled in a 3d app and want to add in to Nova. This version is much more complete that the first one I wrote. It includes several new steps and pictures and examples of each step. I hope this helps out everyone who has ever wanted to put their ships in Nova but didn't know how. Questions, Comments, or Suggestions email me at CeRD@mac.com.

Here's a full map that I put together after completing the Vellos storyline. I'm finding it very useful when playing the other storylines and thought I should share.
