Re: 1.9 Beta 4

I've only made it as far as St. Kat's, but the Sapiens mines are really good. The mines lingering and being a threat while you're looting the station, it feels very thematically appropriate for the Sapiens and their nuclear waste.

Re: 1.9 Alpha 2

Got an EI200 at St. Kats' to collect Dvalin valuable items. Taking the Sanctuary path, I was able to get all his gifts without any backtracking. His Ion9 and armor really are a great set of gear. The superlattice crystal is very nice! It gave my plasma shield a chance against Ares and Dreaming Raide...

Re: New here with quick question:

I'd recommend you get the beta, as that version generally lets you earn more money in the early game. It's mostly stable at this point.

Re: 1.8 Beta 1 is ready!

5 of these are classes that we're not playable in previous versions: EI100, EI200, Centurion, Centurion/X, Minotaur, and Minotaur/M. This quote from the multiverse article claims the EI100 is playable, but that looks like a typo. As JohnBWatson said, lower-end ships could be made for sale, and I th...

Re: How do you get the VotG alpha?

That's the only code as far as I know. Try asking George, he could let you into the alpha test.

Re: How do you get the VotG alpha?

George posted a code for the alpha here along with instructions for installing it. I'm not sure if the code still works though.

Re: A possibly dumb question about Armour...

Both plasma and thermo weapons are suitable for the endgame. There aren't any enhancers for plasmas but they do well without them. I personally like to use the advanced tritium cannon; it has a great rate of fire while still doing decent WMD damage, and the overheating is easily controlled, so it is...

Can someone update me on how the bioships work now? I don't appear to be getting growth points for anything, be it refueling, healing, killing or spending fuel.
I haven't played alpha 3 yet, but growth points have been broken since alpha 1. My ticket for it is still open.

Re: The New Korolov : same old tricks

I experienced something like that! It was in one of my games in June, and I forgot to make a ticket of it. I took a screenshot:

The Ronin here was definitely escorting the Antares during my mission.

Re: Changing ships at shipyards

Black Market shipyards could sell Penitent gunships, while the UAS may sell weaker civilian variants which lack the Penitent styling. After the Benedict mission where you pilot an Atonement, there could be an opportunity to trade your ship for it. At the station's Meeting hall or Matriarch's chamber...

Re: 1.8 Alpha 2

I tried part II on 1.8 alpha 2, and I welcome the lowered prices for Part 2 ships! Now an Eridan costs about 3000 RU instead of 5000, a Swift costs 5500 RU and an Explorer costs less than 2000 RU. I can spend less time pearl poaching, but Tor Quan ships still don't accumulate growth points at all , ...

The CSCs Antarctica and Terra, less than two light-minutes apart. The Antarctica's Centurions sometimes go right over the Terra.

Re: Coming back to Transcendence.. a few questions!

Ah I didn't know that bug before. It is so tempting to try and figure out the commerce route more because I want to buy everything I see in stores but I am still on a first runthrough. I am thinking I could save more money in the long run with tracking missiles and omni weapons because it cuts down...

Re: New Player with Questions

To get the Class V deflector you need to be promoted to the Master rank without skipping straight to Legend. To avoid getting the Legend rank, I find that it helps if you fail one mission and/or avoid killing Charon frigates yourself. Helena's location is random, but she's found in an EI500 freighte...

Re: New Player with Questions

Slicer has weapon to loot? I killed him before in the Arena before I even went to St. Katherine, but I am pretty sure there was no weapon available to loot. Yeah, the weapon is a PM6 Slicer cannon, which you can only get from his wreck. There's only a small chance that the weapon can be looted unda...
