Blargh, missed these on IRC day, these questions apply to part 1 only: Could we get a brief glimpse at motivations and backstory for the short or non-existent faction entries in the wiki? As a bonus for people who are imagining a typical citizen of a given faction, particularly for the more alien so...

@Dracko 0xD5xxxxxx would be fine. I was thinking of doing pulsars (which generate a instant death wall, effectively bisecting the system), magnetars (destroy your ship instantly once you get too close), and tears in space-time (spawns some kind of enemy).

Can I work on space anomalies?

I would like this, as this would make the space battles feel more like... Space battles. I wonder how this will be implemented control-wise and AI-wise. Control wise, this would be perfect for numpads, however on laptops, how should we go around this?

Could we get a stickied thread that compiles all backstory based threads? Should help answer any immediate questions.

Do ships in the Trans-verse have artificial gravity?

@Resident-Pyromaniac: Detailing each ship at the start screen would add in nice amounts of background info. Though it's not the only place that's possible, remember Korolov shipping? They have technical readouts on Charon pirates, should be possible to have a military Commonwealth ship database that...

Can I assume that enemy outlaw ships are usually older deprecated models, or ships still in production? I can see many uses for a T31 Armed Transport outside of drug trafficking. But still, how are the ships "given" to their prospective pilots? I can now dream of having technical readouts a la Battl...

Appending this to the whole prisons idea: Occasionally capturing the pirate(s) from the ship(s) you just blew up and turning them over to the nearest commonwealth station for a reward. They act as normal loot. I think this is a great idea. Piracy prisoners could work very much like slaves. That sou...

Hm, been wondering this while playing Transcendence: Where do all the civilian human ships come from? I'll break down my question into some number of parts below. Who are the companies/corporations that manufactures the human ships we see in Commonwealth Space? Are they based anywhere specific? Or a...

Appending this to the whole prisons idea: Occasionally capturing the pirate(s) from the ship(s) you just blew up and turning them over to the nearest commonwealth station for a reward. They act as normal loot. This could carry over to the creation of in-universe prison stations: The more pirates and...

It's not really XML, but rather transLisp(?), mainly for event coding. I've manged to pick it up within a day, not hard at all

I mod and play, mostly for my own enjoyment!

Might as well toss my ideas on interstellar travel w/o stargates, deep space, and other stuff: Interstellar Travel To get start your long (or short) and arduous travel between stars, you'll have to travel quite far from the center of any star system you're in, you'll "auto-gate" into the galaxy map,...
