what the hell is a root element?!

It would help with debugging if you posted your modified code to the pastebin whenever you hit a new snag.

That's what I see there. That's why I'm so confused that you say that like you're so sure- Doesn't make sense.

You're looking at the EI100. It's the EI200 that we're talking about. Both freighters can be escorted by apprentices.

Sorry, I read through the Charon XML really quickly, and I mistook the leq for a geq.

I guess this means I was right in my first post.

i've never had a frigate spawn on the -first- mission before. o.o Nor have I had a Korolov give enough missions for me to get up in rank enough for them to be supposed to start appearing. After looking through the XML, it seems that you are right about the first missions, Charon frigates can only s...

I think default frigates could use shielding, and the Kronosauros should have 4X lancer cannons and lucifer missiles, Class V deflector, And Heavy Ceralloy x16. Umm, that set of equipment would make the Kronosaurus stronger than almost everything pre-arean. Maybe that would make a good hardcore cha...

When you've bought all you want from a system, and sold all you can, it is supposed to be mostly worthless to you. It's a conscious design choice. Making stations restock and consume goods would allow you to stay in a few system indefinitely; it would change the character of the game completely. I d...

Don't forget Orthosteel nanos and Dyon Dust. Orthosteel nanos for my endgame set of Octocarbide takes them from 400 HP to 600, and the Dyon dust for my midgame set- probably Carbide Carapace- really saves my sanity when I'm fighting Dwarg masters and Ventari. I'd obviously prefer to pick these up wi...

You don't have to. People have a choice on whether or not to journey to the Core. It's just that if you decide not to, you'd have to stop playing because the topology is linear. I was talking about the game lore, and the Word of George is that the player is compelled to travel to the core. In D&O t...

Your logic does not completely mesh. When someone is called by Domina they must journey to the core. They are under a "magic" compulsion; a form of mind control. They can go about it as quickly or as slowly as they wish, but they ultimately have no free will in this matter. If you want an illustrati...

Welcome!

You can run Transcendence in windowed mode with the "/windowed" command line switch.

Good job on the TV Tropes page. I just checked it out and loved it, and then I spent half an hour looking at other pages.

We do know that after the annihilation of the Earth fleet, and the subsequent bombings, the Commonwealth completely took over the fight against the Ares. This, and the fact that no Earth ships are battling the Ares along with the Commonwealth military, suggests to me that Earth is either a direct me...

Your Defend power will last 4 seconds longer. See the wiki.

As far as I know, that's the only benefit. There's a commented out blank power called "prescience", that would otherwise be available at (M/P)atriarch. I don't have any ideas what plans George has for it.

Thanks for the answers guys, you helped a lot. I messed up some things pretty badly (lost 50k money, then accidentally saved because I used an unknown device that teleported me to another system, stuff lke that) so I have decided to start over with my new knowledge. Everything is going pretty well,...

Of course, you're really best off selling the nori and triggers at the Maintenance bays on corporate enclaves, or if you have a smugglers cargo hold, the Victorian nightclubs on large commonwealth stations.

I just added a page on the Sisters of Domina and Domina powers. Please tell me if you think that they convey the information you are looking for.

Both of those pages are definitely spoilers for anyone who wants to figure this out for themselves.
