Is Arvoch Alliance the same as Evochron Alliance?

No, the two different game names indicate the two different Alliances formed at two different points in the game series' lore. Likewise there are multiple games with 'Evochron' in the title as well as 'Arvoch', direct sequels in each series (EA being a 2005 game for example), but each game line with their own gameplay focus. Evochron being more freeform/trade/explore, Arvoch being more mission driven/combat.

You can read about each game on their respective official websites:

And on the 'What is Evochron?' and 'What is Arvoch?' posts here:

Vice, after finishing EA 2.0 (what should take not so long, because EA 2.0 is basically the same like EA, but with newer graphic (and some improvements)) I want to start play Arvoch Alliance (of course the oldest). How can I gain full version?

Details sent via e-mail. EM 1.0 (2010) is technically before AA 1.0 (2011) in the chronology of the series, so I've sent that information as well.

Thanks Vice, but it's my fault. I meant Arvoch Conflict from 2006. Sorry for misunderstanding...

Vice, sorry for one more question, but I didn't find any information about this in game's manual. How many crew members can player have? Is it detrmined by craft type (i.e. for Fighter only one, for Striker two and so on)? When I have Scout and hire one crew member (for example engineer), and on the next station hire second (for example navigator), both are on crew member list, but after jump in another system I see only the last one hired member)...

If memory serves, up to 4 or 5 for every ship type. The ability to select different levels of ship configuration options (ie sacrificing space from one category to increase it in another) wasn't added until later games. You can lose crew members when you dock, as in the later games, depending on their loyalty level.

And the last question... I'm trying to find secret Vonari base in Vonarion A. But I can't find it. I'm using stealth device, and follow one Vonari fighter, but i have to few stealth to follow him constantly. I can't understand... In EA 1.0 I've found this base after few tries and destroyed it with Fulcrum Torpedo. But it was much easier - I saw only 2 Vonari ships. Now, in EA 2.0 I saw about TWENTY Vonari ships and it's practically impossible to flight over nad search this base without being destroyed... any clues?

Not sure about destroying it, but for a clue on its location, consider 'close' to the opposite 'side' (X) of the sector from where the moon is.
