The game starts at a time when lightspeed travel was becoming mainstream again. A terrorist attack destroys this system, leave humans isolated for a period of time.
At some point, mankind develops “hypergates” which allow for instant travel between planets and systems. The game takes place far into the future passed the original EV. The game also uses better sprites, rendered in such a way as to make them look 3D (though this isn’t entirely new, as certain plug-ins for the original EV and EV:O have been using this technique for a while). This was especially annoying since you couldn’t even take missions for planets you were friendly with if you have already started one of primary government’s mission strings. So, if you played the Federation string, and then wanted to play the Rebel string, you had to create an entirely new game and start from scratch. Second, it is the first EV game (much the disappointment of many fans) to limit the player to one major story string for a pilot. In addition, they included the first two games as plug-ins so that Windows users could enjoy all three games for the first time.

First off, it uses a different plug-in technology than Classic Mac OS, which helped allow the game to be ported to Windows (this port did not occur until around 2003, however). This installment is very unique in several ways. Escape Velocity: Nova is the latest installment into the Escape Velocity series.
