Oh, shoot, I forgot the Vega Strike repository. 
Here are the lines for that: 

$ echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/klaussfreire:/debian/xUbuntu_12.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vegastrike-data.list 
$ curl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:klaussfreire:debian/xUbuntu_11.10/Release.key | sudo apt-key add - 
$ sudo apt-get update 

--- 

Vega Strike wants an oldish version of libboost that is not available in Trusty. 

Adding a Precise mirror gives access to older packages. 

This might work to fix many similar problems. 

These lines add a Precise mirror, and make the system aware of the packages in it. 

$ echo "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu precise main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel.org.precise.main.list 
$ sudo apt-get update 

Then, if you want to install Vega Strike, you could use this line: 

$ sudo apt-get install vegastrike vegastrike-data 

And, if you want all the blingies of it, too, you could use this: 

$ sudo apt-get install vegastrike-extra vegastrike-music vegastrike-speech 

I haven't played Vega Strike yet. I've only played "Let's install Vega Strike". I hope VegaStrike is as much fun as "Let's install Vega Strike".

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
