FS Backstory and Game Design
How many EFS players know/care about the Fading Suns universe? Should canon adherence be much of a goal in the clone's design, or is the idea rather to end up with a space strategy setting divorced from any particular universe?

There are 4 EFS mods (Hyperion, Nova, Subversion and Reality, but only the first two are currently available)
Mods Hyperion, Nova and Subversion are focused in making a better strategy game (better balanced units and so that) .
The other mod (Reality) is focused in a more FS look
Reality And Subversion websites are off-line. But I have downloads in a zip file in some place, I could send you if you like (BTW those webs are in web.archive.org)
Some years ago (in 2003-2004 I think) I did a comparative among the four mods in my Spanish language web page, sorry I don't have time to translate into English but perhaps online translator could work

I'm especially interested in Reality, as I'd like a game with more of an FS feel.
I uploaded Subversion mod to mediafire some time ago and AFAIK link still works

Oh! I said that Reality mod website is archived in web.archive.org
But I didn't post the link:
http://web.archive.org/web/200503062252 ... eality.htm
the mod was last updated in 2002 and page went offline in 2005
It's a more FS look & feel than EFS vaniila: knights instead of officers, brother battle units, vorox legions
The same for Subversion mod, that it's nova based
last updated in 2004 or 2005, went offline in 2006
