Escape Velocity/Trivia

• Fan Nickname: "Mass-modding" involves converting a freighter into a Q-ship. Start with freighter with decent stats like an Enterprise or Leviathan, the bigger the cargo bay the better. Buy mass expansions until you can't fit any more. You now have a smaller cargo bay and a lot more room for weapons.
• Promoted Fanboy: As a matter of fact, both the later games originated as ambitious total conversion fan plug-in projects before Ambrosia recruited them whole.
