Re: What is your Transcendence Game plan?

I usually take the noob's route; freighter, loot everything in sight, sell all but the best as I leave each system (hope I don't have to come back, since now I get rubbish prices for everything) I also never buy insurance, since I die too much for it to be even slightly affordable (I once got the pr...

Re: What is the Transcendence logo meant to be?

Logo? Do you mean the image used as the icon for the transcendence executable? Yes I do. I first thought that the three round cut-outs were planets, silhouetted against the black(ish) backdrop of space. Then I put my glasses on... I never really thought of it being some sort of shield. Come to thin...

What is the Transcendence logo meant to be?

Self explanatory really.
To me, it looks like a Prussian carp which decided to try eating a train, but got bored halfway through and flew away.
What do you think it is/is meant to symbolize?

Re: George, the Sovereigns page needs LARGE amount of work.

I added a fair amount of info to the wiki, just so that all the in-game info on the factions is in one place. Please tell me if I made any mistakes or if its too spoily.

Re: [Question for george] Artificial gravity?

I did some crazy calculations to work out how fast these stations would need to spin, using the formula: N = ((CG/R)^-2)/2pi Where G = Earth's gravity, 9.80665 m/s/s (meters per second per second) C = The fraction of Earth's gravity you want, I'm assuming 0.5 like George said. R = The radius of the ...

Re: Transcendence Adoration Thread

I love Transcendence because... 1. Awesome community: everyone is awesome. 2. Things explode. 3. The fact that the game is deliberately made in order to make modder's lives easy. 4. The game is really really varied, unlike lots of games I play. 5. The massive amount of content in the game, you never...

1.C (I managed to do three of the missions before the stations blew up as well) 2.B (I generally go for the freighter, loot everything, in the hope I'll stumble across something good) 3.B (Only once) 4.B (Why is "die" not an option?!) 5.A (n00b PoWaH! In my only finished game, I died 1000+ times) Bo...

Re: Transcendence Picture thread

Juding by the pic, the lightningveil gun is pretty much a converted smartcannon, with added projectiles and a changed trail color. That is almost correct, although I didn't convert it from a smartcannon, I built it from the ground up. The code is: <ItemType UNID="&itLightningVeilCannon;" name= "lig...

The PWN001 swarmbuster missile in action: http://i.imgur.com/feB4J.png I am currently experimenting with ways to optimise the spread of the fragments (multitarget/autoacquiretarget? configurations?) and ways to make the missile explode a short distance after impacting the swarm (no idea if this is e...

Re: Wild Mass Guessing

After playing through the game once, I came up with this theory: Domina has to annihilate the QZ to stop Oracus, but therefore has to kill all humans as well, something she does not want to do (like humans try to conserve lower species). She therefore orders the Iocrym to barricade Heretic and prepa...

Re: Using the Teraton Fabricator

Could you add another column to the left of that table, showing what the pattern means in words? I managed to work them out after looking at the legend, but I can easily imagine some poor newb's head turning into gelatin at the mere sight of it. THINK OF THE NEWBS! Something like this: Pattern Patte...

Question of the currency in transcendence

This is really nit-picky, but I noticed that in transcendence, you can buy a beer for 5 Commonwealth credits, and buy a grenade powerful enough to shoot down a space station for just 6 credits more. Either beer is really expensive, or beer is a normal price and high explosives are really cheap. If t...

Re: Enemies you love to hate.

My least favorite enemy, by far, is the Sapiens Plague-class gunship. They may be easy to take down, but they have a nasty habit of sneaking up on me, and it only takes one hit from their waste cannon and I have to abort whatever I was doing and run screaming and crying to the nearest commonwealth s...
