While looting ships part way through the game, I came across one ship which when docked with, stated that all I saw was a woman strapped to her command chair. My question is: "what is the purpose of that ship?" Is this the "Rising Star" which was mentioned on http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence/ ... sters.html, and is the woman supposed to be Katherine; or is this Victoria, the other sister who started out for the core, but never made it?

If someone could tell me of this, I would appreciate it. Were this to be an anomaly, then perhaps it could be used as part of the back story, or for a mission where you would be equipped with a tractor beam and sent forth to bring the ship back to the nearest Domina monastery, thereby increasing your Domina power level by 1 or 2.

It's Volkov's wife. If you have him as your wingman he leaves you at that point.

Ah, thank you Artalost. I do not usually acquire wingmen, being the solitary traveler type, so that probably explains why I did not discover that fact. Thanks again, Artalost.

Still, it would be nice to have a few more Domina missions other than the one in the Heretic system.

ANY missions would be good. Game needs more missions. Too much wandering around aimlessly right now.

...

There's a button to unbind the woman, isn't there? I would think that would be a good option to have. It's what I'd do if I saw someone tied to a chair.

She's dead and wearing a seatbelt. The seatbelt is what explains why she's still in the chair.

this is a bit spoilerous, darth saber, can you please change the title by editing your first post and add [SPOILER] ? :)

Its a good thing I pieced it together myself while accidentally reading something about this in the Korolov xml.

Oh.

So why is she dead?

Because Domina is a sadistic, homewrecking word I probably shouldn't use on a public forum.

Like it said on the "Book of Tales: Sister" page I mentioned earlier:

“And floating above it all, I could see the face of Domina. She too saw the lifeless void that once held our human homes. And I saw that she wept. She wept for our death and the death of all our worlds, but I looked at her face closely and I saw no sign of regret.”

That is the key concept: "no regret." It does not matter how many lives are lost in this battle between Domina and Oracus, so long as Domina comes out the victor. This is what the war is truly about; it is like a massive galactic chess game, and we are merely the pieces to be moved, or rather to be moved upon.

As Shakespeare would say: "all the world is a stage, and we but merely players." :twisted: [/quote]

Well done Artalost, in keeping the comment clean. :)

Oh.

...

This storyline is getting more unpleasant by the second.

I'm going to implement a way to follow Schilcote, god of awesomeness and lulz.

As long as we can blow up his temples I'm okay with that. :)

Schilcote, when you said: "Last Cause Of Death: Rickrolled to death in the Sectro system," what did you mean by "rickrolled," and where is the "Sectro" system?

Also, can we create our own sovereigns in .99c, or RC2, and have them function as the original Transcendence ones do?
