“The Empire basically started at the end of the prequels, where we saw the plans for the Death Star (like the Doomstar), which has the ability to destroy planets (like the Stellar Converter).
So for example, I am looking for something like: Anyone who knows or is willing to research the tech that these races have and develop, as well as comparable descriptions for the tech. I have to admit, that this is a huge undertaking, and will not happen overnight, so to speed things up, I am asking for help. With the current modding tools, there is no way to change the appearance of the races, so most of the modding will be via changing the names and descriptions of the races and tech, and a little changing the races themselves and the starting technology to match that. With Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars I am currently planning to put them into one mod, because they have only two races / players each (Humans, Cylons, the Empire, and the Rebels). I am currently planning three transitioning tool mods: And even if I could, we would most likely have a bunch of lawyers tear us apart.
I am calling them “Transitioning Tools” to help the fans learn and enjoy Master of Orion, because there is no way to magically convert this game into any of these. I am pleased to announce that I have started working on several different sci-fi franchise mods.
