Re: Sometimes games take a strange turn

I do not care for high scores and thus never get a very "High" score. I never care to look for the score in fact. :) I've been playing since the game first came out (version 0.7 ore something like that). The multiverse did not exist and scores were not recorded anywhere else than on your own pc. The...

Sometimes games take a strange turn

Just finished a vanilla game in the EI500, only two mods: The soundtrack and HD In this game I never found the Terra and Antarctica (never happened before). They either were not there, or completely destroyed before I could find them (by Ares, Xenophobes and or Gaians) The last sytem before Heretic ...

Re: Transcendence System Computer Requirements

One last reply on this from my side. Framerate in games matter because you need at least double the framerate of your screens native FPS to render smooth pictures. So for your information, a very simple explanation about how videocards and monitors work together: GPU's work by filling framebuffers, ...

Re: Transcendence System Computer Requirements

@ TheLoneWolf Your answer is exactly what I expected. And indeed you are right in 1 aspect, the human eye does not work in FPS. I never implied or said that. What I did say is that the human vision (which is not only the eye but also brain, nervous sytem etc.) in general is incapable of distinguisin...

Re: Let's Play Transcendence!

Then there is also the single Black Market mission, easy to miss, not obvious and gives a fair amount of credits when succesfull. Only available when you have a certain rank in the Black Market hierarchy.

Re: Transcendence System Computer Requirements

There are some very simple reasons why it is unneccesary to go over 30 fps. The first and main reason is that normal human vision cannot distinguish a perceptual difference whenever the framerate is above 25 fps. This is why for example the framerate in movies is about 24 fps. However framerates abo...

Re: No Gunsam branch of systems in Corporate Command game

No explorer auton in any of my games has ever found a stargate, in any case, they do not report it or show it on the map. They do however find any station and even if those stations are sitting directly next to a stargate, the stargate does not show up when the explorer auton finds the station.

Re: 10 Points of Advice for the Beginning Player

Interestingly the Rasiermesser smartcannon, does very well against Sung turrets. And when you enhance it +50% or more with either the rare kinetic upgrades, the cannon enhancer or the rasiermesser enhancer it will take out any targeted Sung turret in three to six shots. You can stay out of their ran...

Re: Osaka Player Ship

Whats the need of the freighter anyway? More cargo space? Osaka has that too. And it can support 2 weapons. And more devices than the sapphire. And osaka is faster too! There is no such thing as "need" All ships require different playstyles. With the freighter you can trade more and therefore you c...

@AssumedPreudonym
Try updating your Wine to the 1.7 branch, it has better DirectX support.

@Calvin
Stilleto's don't do that anymore.

I usually have it on, but sometimes I turn it off in case other people could get disturbed by it.
