@ George: Thank you, sir. Anyways, I think the star system topology could be overwritten if it was represented by a unid, i.e. sstStarSystemTopology= "whatever". (Just my 85 cents of twisted thinking) Since it's not, we'll have to make do with changing Transcendence.xml and being able to modify syst...

Fuel capacity: Reactor change.

Right, they're defined in the system itself, I do believe (Placement, that is).

EDIT: Yes, they are.

Starton Eridani is unique, and guess what? It's placement is defined under ssStartonEridani.

Exactly. I'm not exactly new to modding Transcendence, just a little rusty, but I've never looked too far into the xmls. But just after seeing the StarSystemTopology and the possibilities with modifying it... Just that (I think) we can MODIFY existing systems via Extension, create new ones via modif...

Actually, a good bit of that is possible, I believe. A station could have a table used to define the weapon, armor type, reinforcements yes/no, guard types, even the number of docking ports!

Dang, Transcendence has gained new meaning for me. How far CAN we push it?

Ah, okay. So if we were to create a level 16 system, and wanted X station in it, would it read like this: ----- ----- -----c ----- ----- Or like this: ----- ----- ----- c---- ----- ? Just curious. Do we go along with the bug or display it the way it "should" be? EDIT: Periculi posted just after I st...

So.. Are we limited to 10 and below, or no?

Lessee: It's not gonna hold more than a 25mw reactor, it won't be able to hold much more than 5 ton segments of armor, and.. Yeah.

Well, it makes sense for a Corsair to be dirt cheap. It IS, after all, the most poorly built ship out there. Well, short of a Hornet.

Well, that and the Sapphire should be CHEAPER.

As it is right now.

No problem, fellow Michigander.

Heck, just a way to change the basic capabilities of your ship would be nice. A set of upgrade packages for your ship, maybe 3-4 different directions to go with. Wolfen: 1. Play up on strengths: extra weapon slot, maybe a permanent weapon enhancement (to all damage types) 2. Fix weaknesses: Bigger r...

It IS free.

It is under development. Soo.. Some things aren't done.

True, some things can't be added. But most of those things would take away from the spirit of the game.

Whatever.

See ya!

That's what I did.

You make a shortcut, and then right click said shortcut and hit properties.

In the "Target" window, put /dx one space after the end of the quotes.

Could it have been in your TIC mod?

I've still got it despite a full wipe of my hard drive (Willingly, thank god).

Yeah, I'm a pack rat, keeping mods from .97 well into .98.
