RE: What the Genre Needs

ORIGINAL: Pocus

Emperor of the Fading Suns franchise is excellent. A pity the PC game has to be released in beta.

I totally agree. EFS could have changed the genre completely.

As long as you monitor the refueling fleet's status you can manually attend to it.<br/> <br/> Do fleets have types or roles to help you find it in a fleet listing? Maybe I hav...
