Escape Velocity was what got me into coding. I was huge into moding that game when I was younger on my old mac OS 7.x system. Absolutely fell in love with being able to extend the game.

Thanks for bringing that up. Those were good times. And agreed. Would love the source to original EV alone. Gonna take a gander at maelstrom! Thank you!

We walked a similar path. Fond memories of modding EV with ResEdit.

Before having an idea of how "proper" cracks should be done, EV copy protection was corrected in resedit by turning Cap'n Hector into an escape pod (so he couldn't kill you) and something else I forget right now to unlock some missions
