Dwarg defense on a freighter? Carry a titanium barricade or two. Use it at the first sign of trouble and take shelter till the cyanadocists run out.

Actually, you can use pretty much anything for cover- dump some cargo if necessary. The cyanadocists do no 'real' damage, so the cargo will be fine.

Another possibility-

Since you already check for 'is there anything in the way' while shooting, you could hook that straight into 'if something is in the way, turn (random offset) for a bit'

lol, visit mother earth- but be sure to bring your hazmat suit! I suspect folks in this thread are considerably overstating the level of destruction in the Sol system. I would consider the place was pretty trashed, but not unrecoverably so. My interpretation of the current situation is that its mor...

Ive been playing the exploding stations mod for a while, and for the first time in several games have decided to go through the fleet missions (these days I tend to skip about the last third of the game coz I can beat up an Iocrym with civilian grade weapons if I need to...) Anyhow, I think it was a...

Yep, Luminous drones are the only enemies (except the commandship of course) you cannnot defeat only with omni-ion or IM90. You just havent enhanced your IM90 enough 8-) But when I use the omni-TeV9 I think they are very rarely getting generated with the particle shields. Instead, they appear to ha...

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? When the system is being generated, the way it assigns random stations can be changed depending on the variant. At the mo...

Hmm. The tool I was using cant do 'alt'. You could remap '/' by replacing the brake code with
(Or you could have it do both...)

Look at the mod "Where's the brake". The problem with the down arrow is that simple "remap the keys" apps remap the keys all the time (ie including when you are trying to use them in menus...) Which is why the mod uses something nearby but otherwise unused. The mod for '/' or 'alt' would be pretty ...

The ship would turn smoothly, but the lighting would look choppy. Its not like the lighting gets any more choppy than it starts off, it just means that it doesnt get better with everything else... Test example from way back before we could actually implement any of this stuff: http://members.westne...

#6 Custom Map Points This one's really easy to do with mods; it's just a combination of the auton code with some stuff from nav beacons...and I bet it wouldn't be that hard to make it retrievable either. I'd love to see little 1-kilo signal beacons that were dirt cheap and available everywhere. Wel...

I have tried to stick to the D + Forum ID in Hex convention from here: http://z8.invisionfree.com/Transcendence_Forum/index.php?showtopic=569 making me 0xd52b, but I have screwed up at least once forgetting to update the UNID while modifying a file... ... delay while kaypy digs through xelerus ...

OK, time to start a thread for bugs in the new version. 8-) First up: Decontamination at the tinkers: The text for a partial antiradiation upgrade probably ought to read "I tried to make your ship immune to radiation, but it didn't fully work. You must have some other coatings on your armor.". Also,...

It has just occured to me that the forums dont have a link to the main Transcendence website (as a direct result of reading this thread- "Ooh! Gotta go download! Wait! Theres no link back! NOOOOOOOOOO!") Alright, Ive got it bookmarked, so theres no need for the hysterics, but it seems odd not to lin...

I have seen the crash in charon, so it isnt just the later systems. (Unless mine was an unrelated crash)
