More that I am a Polity fan and love the ideas of all those great AI ships that name themselves :)

This game seems to be crying out for natives of Spatterjay too.

Could even be a worthwhile consideration for a future DLC series

For those who don't know .... Neil Asher is a UK author of Sci Fi. Some of his races make the Cravers seem better neighbours and his AI 'Minds' take many forms too.

Have just finished reading the voyage of the Sable Keech, Spatterjay, what a place ! Yeah thinking about the polity AI's and how they could fit into the game they would be so cool.

My favourite, and the first book of his that I read was Prador moon.

It's not all about the Sci Fi though as he is a very good writer as well. no one does non gratuitous gore better.

Anyone who has not read him give him a try :)

Normally the gore would put me off. Thankfully, I think Prador Moon was the worst offender. I agree that Asher is the best at making gore acceptable. I'm just glad that his imagination for the humour and strategic intelligence of the Polity AI's is imho among the best depictions of AI.

I've been reading what I call 'plausible' SF since Asimov's robots and have found in Endless Space some fairly well developed sentients. It make all the difference for me to have a Universe populated with creatures that don't stretch my knowledge of reality too much ;)

I was hoping this thread might get some attention from a modder, ... ah well...
