So, the first Point Juno defense mission seems to still run, even if you don't have the rank to gain access to the bridge. I have a game where there were no military CSC's (all were med ships, other than Terra and Antarctica) and I then couldn't get the rank to access the Point Juno missions. I stil...

Again, if you're talking about an iPhone/iPod touch, I suggest you got and get an asteroids clone and try to play that on your device before you suggest a bar like below. It could, possibly, work on the iPad, but it won't work on the smaller screen as-is. The complexity of the control scheme won't p...

I'm just saying that you can't do a straight port of Transcendence, as is, without making some serious modifications to the basic mechanics of combat/travel in the game, which is about 80% of the current game. At that point, it's not really Transcendence any more. Maybe we just play in radically dif...

I doubt anyone is going to want to regularly play Transcendence as is on a pure touch screen. The mechanics of travel and combat, i.e. 80% of the game, would have to be reworked. If you tried to do this on an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad with the game as is, you'd have to incorporate at least 15 different...

If George was willing to allow the assets to be used, someone could make a 'Transcendence RPG' ala the Doom RPG, but a straight port of Transcendence to the iPhone would not work. I don't even think it would work on the iPad. The game would not be fun like a Transcendence the PC game. The Hyper Viper

I emailed RockPaperShotgun to see if they would give 1.0 a whirl. That would be great publicity. Maybe there's other blogs/sites we could 'tip' about the release?

The Hyper Viper

Dual Flenser+fast with the cannon accelerator is a great weapon all the way to Sanctuary (and beyond sometimes.)

With the addition of a +fast and a booster, Laser/Kinetic weapons are viable longer-term than most people would expect, I think.

I personally would not like to see Transcendence go down the RPG route to a greater extent than now, especially with class specialization. I personally don't think it fits the current feel, and I enjoy the more open-ended nature. Plus, I like that the game gives you a lot of player freedom, and I th...

Here's a thought. What if you combined the MARD mini gane (the find the anomaly mission in heretic) with mining? You also talk about tradeoffs, so let's see if we can do this. A multi-path mining system. First, you could, from a mining station, get a cargo hold, mining laser, and a sensor pod system...

I finally hit a High Level Binary - with 4 adventure outfitters, just like Prophet. The RNG seems far wilder in this release. And I have had 4 commonwealth fortresses, but only one is really worthwhile since I can only get a mission set from one. Oh well. Fusionfire Howitzer +Fast is an awesome mid ...

Some possibly random thoughts stemming from two recent games, one where I tried mining but got bored after several systems and quit, and a new one with a wolfen. Since this is a bug/balance testing play through, I allow myself to resurrect. Playing through with a wolfen. First thought - the RNG seem...

After another playthrough, I would say that Heretic is even harder in RC2 than RC1 and I can't keep enough stations alive to be able to finish the game using the station missions. I even tried going directly to the Iocrym Outposts and killing them before doing anything else, and still lost too many ...

Maybe I just had a good first game last time, but I loaded up my start-of-heretic RC1 save into RC2, and actually found the RC2 version more difficult than the RC1. In the RC1 version, with a Kaidun-800, 150% IM90 and Lamplighter +Fast, I only lost the Domina station. I lost them all in RC2. Maybe m...

Also, if you have illegal goods in your hold when you visit the first contact monument, they are confiscated and you get a regular commonwealth station dockscreen with commodities exchange (but nothing for you to buy and no credits for it to buy) and a refueling and armor repair dock services screen...

I once got Volkov before Rigel, and will get himself stuck against the wall as well. The one time I managed to get him to fly into the arena meant I could make short work of almost all the opponents. Then he let himself get waxed by Kate during the BM mission. I could have used him against The Slice...
