This repository is for the Endless Sky plug-in "Celestial Strands". The plug-in is in early development, content is subject to and expected to change. Please back up your save when necessary.
Celestial Strands brings content from the original Escape Velocity series, primarily Escape Velocity: Override, to Endless Sky in a new playable area. The plug-in focuses on the various factions of the Crescent, including the Strands, Zachit, and Miranu, and their presence in a new, young galaxy. Will the Strands reunite once more under the same banner, or will inner turmoil be their undoing yet again?
Current additions:
- A new galactic area to explore containing a total of 110 new systems and 95 new planets.
- Seven new governments based on ones from Escape Velocity: Override, as well as a few new ones.
- 24 new ships and 50 ship variants based on ones from Escape Velocity: Override, as well as a few new ones.
- 41 new outfits based on ones from Escape Velocity: Override, as well as a few new ones.
You can access the new content either through creating new pilot and selecting the "Crescent Strands" option, or through the Hariza system located near The Rim by Jump Drive. Reccommend also using Omnis: https://github.com/Adde-Endless-Sky-Mods/-Omnis
Sometimes Militia or other fleets that have fighters with scanners clump up.
Currently, there is only the galaxy map, ships, outfits, and governments to play with. There is no story content as of yet. Balancing is still in need of fine-tuning, however it has been done using EV:Override's data within Endless Sky's environment. Planets do not have proper landscapes, descriptions, outfitter, or shipyard setups yet, and will be expanded upon in the future.
