This is from a Station description (Dwarg)- levelFrequency= "---cu v---- ------ ----- -----" c = common, u = uncommon, v = very rare- yes? The dashes indicate the level? so level 4 is common here? why is the center set of dashes 6 instead of 5? Is there more to this value than meets the eye? So, I h...

I think ships should be 10-100x more expensive than listed, except for the starting ships- which should be cheap tugs. But the whole argument is pointless without a way to change the ships in the first place- all the rest is details. Bit of an aside- there is nothing stopping us from creating entire...

Wow.. lots of interest in this. I think the mod community would find endless ways to use changing player ships. Betelgeuse- I really like your idea and it seems it could be done with current version of Trans. I have been thinking along the same lines for increasing spectrum of ship builds- various l...

Consider it like this- if you were in a CSC or CW shipyard, prepping to go assault an Ares base would you stick with your souped up yacht or take a destroyer or cruiser armed to the teeth? If you advanced far enough up the ranks of the fleet officers, wouldn't you take command of more responsibility...

Dock screen assistance would be thankfully received- dock screens seem to be the main story-giving component and we can make good use of that for increased depth of play.

I realize that this topic has been brought up a lot and I am hesitant to bump this thread, but I feel that this is a very, very obvious and powerful change to the open-ended ways that transcendence can be played- and, it seems like the ability to change ships in-game would be easy to implement. I wo...

I have worked up a prototype for a mod that involves adding random branches and more hub type nodes to the topology and also adds capitol systems for major factions- it's an ambitious project, with over 60 nodes currently and I am struggling with additional graphic resources- rather than re-using a ...

If you are diving into modding you will need to become acquainted with TransData , located on the main site downloads page- it has features that can help you with many things in Transcendence. To mod your playership to have any weapon or to make any weapons omnidirectional is simple- from Playership...

Interesting idea. Simple too- looking at the mod script- wish that would work for Player Ships as easily. Or could it?

I thought it was assigning random stations and encounters based on the environment- envFire, envWater, envEarth, envAir- all of which have defined tables for what gets what in the entities section of Trans.xml. I have no clue where this variant sub-section could be, any chance you want to draw me a ...

I am very curious if there is an upper limit to the number of topology nodes the game will accept. And also- what's the 'variant' description in the system tag actually doing? Are there more than just the 'commonwealth' and 'ungoverned' variants to make use of in some manner? There doesn't seem to b...

Is this valid- 0xDDDD, and if so can I use it?

I guess just adding a Lazarus with 250 hp and a 2 gw reactor to one of the playerships would not be GOD-like enough.

Aloha, Transcendence community. So nice to be able to post! I have recently discovered Transcendence, and it is swiftly becoming a gem in my collection of games. I am very impressed by the quality and depth that has gone into a game that has been presented to the community at large as a free option....
