Someone should make Emperor of the Fading Suns shipsets

This is an incredibly rich universe - it would be cool if someone would create the different houses, the church, the merchant league and the aliens. Anyone with modding experience familiar with this universe?

It is amazing how often EOFS is still mentioned after all these years... and the AI was so terrible, but it was such a great game design.

What a gem that was, if it was ever developed further.

no fancy sig

I agree - the game was incredible in potential but the AI was non-existant.

I don't understand why game developers don't just remake the great games with new graphics, AI etc.

Xcom, Master of Magic, EOFS etc. I don't need new, or different, just solid. Maybe I need to stop being a pastor with a taste for gaming and learn programming

Empire of the Fading Suns {link} was a tabletop RPG before it was licensed for the Emperor of the Fading Suns computer game; supplements for the non-computer Version are still being produced.

At some point some modding tools were made available for EOFS, and a couple of major mods were made. One was rather nice in that it made changes to the units so they all were useful, and made scepters immoble to eliminate the smash&grab in the early game.

If I remember where I found them, I'll post the web address.

Thanks for the links, everybody! I D/L all the images. Even the expansion sets. They are very interesting looking. The models are not painted. So could someone tell the basic colors? I will post an image once I finish it. To see what you all think of it!
