Ambrosia Software and ATMOS, in their pursuit of perfection, have started posting the changes which will be taking place in the latest update to Escape Velocity: Nova.

Here's just a portion of the latest updates:

• Fixed a bug with the availability of the third Vell-os misn
• Fixed a problem with the availability of the second Auroran misn after the player refuses the first one and starts another storyline
• Some Polaris ship variants that are supposed to have fast-jump capabilities now have 1 of the fast-jump outfit in the ship resource (as opposed to 0)
• The second Vell-os mission now sets ncb 4444 upon refusing rather than acceptance
• The third Vell-os mission is no longer available if ncb 4444 is set
• FPC's do slightly less energy damage
• FPC's use up slightly more mass
• Blasters use up slightly less mass
• Destroy Bureau Cell Mission (id 877) is now set to be available from any inhabited spob as opposed to any Fed spob
• Missions that set b511 (the storyline restricting bit) now set upon accepting rather than upon success to stop players getting ahold of multiple storylines
• Rebel variation ships no longer have 'fire whilst cloaked' weapons
• Cloaking Device is now available when it says it is
• Misn 173 now requires ncb 297 to be set so that the player can no longer talk to Master Arando before meeting him
• The Wild Geese string in which Michaleen doesn't die straight up, doesn't talk about the Rovers being a 'man down' anymore
