Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point! [1] https://endless-sky.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game. Source: 11 months ago

I would love to see blueprints of some of the ships in endless sky. Source: about 1 year ago

I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/. Source: about 1 year ago

Candy Box 2 -- there is more to this than meets the eye: https://candybox2.github.io/. Source: 12 months ago

Looking as an outsider you will see a bunch of weird-ass ASCII art that doesn't even look that good compared to, say, Candy Box, while as the actual player you're actually wrestling an eldritch beast made of deadly gas into the ground as you pulp it with a dead giant's body.

Not really like the games you mentioned but Candy Box 2, A Dark Room, and Kittens Game are some of the best browser-based idle games ever. Source: over 1 year ago

Not Candy Box or Candy Box 2, was it? Dubious guess but it does keep coming up. Source: over 1 year ago

I appreciate anyone suggesting CC Classic, but since I'd expect a JS Console minigame to be text-based, then maybe it should be more like Candybox2 (https://candybox2.github.io/ which if I'm not mistaken was part of the inspriation for CC!). Source: over 1 year ago
