you can pm me. my settings have been like that all along. i tryed to pm you, i was told that pms are disabled. sorry if i have offended forum rules somehow. it was not my intention.
(as i was saying in my previous post. everybody should get to know this great game. unfortunately it is sold out.
but luckily there is a free demo version downloadable from the holistic designs site.)

EFS was truly an awesome game. I still play it from time to time.

Yes, it had flaws and unfinished bits, but what was there was simply unequalled anywhere else.

Nice post Braveheart. My only objection would be that I have a very, very low opinion of EU, and I'd be very sad to see an EFS 2 have anything at all to do with EU.

Has anyone
A) Googled for a version 2 project or gone to sites like SourceForge to see if an open source project is trying to recreate the game?
B) talked to the developers and said something like "when you have a working alpha version then talk to me and I will connect you with a great publisher company"

I would but I dont remember the game you are talking about and Im already stalking a few of my own to try and get over here.

I'm a huge fan of the Fading Suns rpg, but I didn't like the way it was translated into an civ like strategy game.

For once, in order to win you had to heavily industrialize your planets - which was not very much in the spirit of a rather medival space faring society, where most people were peasants and weapons were handcrafted by weaponsmiths rather than produced in factories.
