Re: How does one manage to find 179 system map ROMs?

That's not the only odd thing about that record. Note the 102 million credits, 10 million credits of medical supplies donated, and no damage taken before installing level 10 armor and shields. I think that version had the glitch where you could attempt to buy and install armor segments from the comm...

Re: Transcendence Developer Tries to Reach the Core

Unfortunately, I cannot record at a different resolution than I stream (I'm using OBS--if anyone can suggest a better stack, let me know). Sorry about that. Hmm, seems like OBS can't do that (without some hacky work-arounds ). XSplit can , and it seems like the free version should be able to stream...

Re: Transcendence Developer Tries to Reach the Core

That was fun (and a bit more exciting than you were probably hoping towards the end). Now you can see why I was concerned when I saw on GitHub that the damage of the Stiletto was raised from 4d6 to 8d6. I'm glad I caught that and you lowered it to 5d6, although I still think it should match the Long...

Re: Newbie player bugs

The "Scores and Records" screen accessed by the "Records" button on the main screen never shows any games for me. I have a Multiverse account, I've completed games, the high scores list that scrolls on the main screen shows games, but that screen doesn't. Ministry ticket: http://ministry.kronosaur.c...

Re: Asteroid Ore Table

That curve is pretty interesting. It's pretty clear that low level mining is a heck of a lot less lucrative than it used to be. Yes. It used to be possible to make 10-20k in Eridani alone. That was probably overpowered, but for mining to be useful at all, it should be possible to recoup the initial...

Re: Newbie player bugs

Another side gripe in Eternity Port: Morana archcannon is lame and weak. I think (Ringer) positron lancer is weak for level 10, but Morana is even worse. Only 60% DPS of positron lancer, when the latter has already fell behind due to power creep. What is more, Morana is less powerful than level 9 A...

Re: Newbie player bugs

The list just goes counterclockwise from the front. Maybe it would help to use a graphical selector like the shield and armor dock services screen when applying barrels and armor repair items. The HUD is different because it puts the forward armor segment(s) at the top and the rear segment(s) at the...

Re: Extension-specific high scores

Could we have some more information about this?

-What can we query? Username works, but score and epitaph don't seem to.
- Can we adjust the number of results? It seems to be limited to 10.
- Can it format them like the high score tables, with links to the game records?

Re: Newbie player bugs

The early Eurasian Diarchy missions seem very difficult now: http://ministry.kronosaur.com/record.hexm?id=3660 Correct me if I'm wrong but Transcendence on steam is being released as a bundle of CC and EP right? So I think that vanilla missiles need to be rebalanced in cost and price to be viable in...

There's not much point in showing other currencies. All items have a value in credits and all currencies have a fixed ratio to credits. 5 credits = 1 rin.

Re: Automatically importing in-game items/ship/etc into the

Lifetime is in ticks, which are 30ths of a second (real time). With the 60:1 time scale that corresponds to each tick being 2 seconds (game time). Speed is in percent of lightspeed. So lifetime * speed / 50 gives the range in light seconds. LRS range is 100 light seconds. Also, I suspect that the sp...

Re: Ares Orthodoxy Ship Images

Very nice! Tundra isn't bad, but could definitely go on the long-term list. Ingame, I like the new graphics for Ares, but I think they could do with more facings in the future. I'm looking forward to all rotating objects having more facings. I realize it'll probably multiply the size of the data fil...

Re: A couple of questions...

Welcome back! The maneuverability stat on the ship selection screen is basically bogus. All the ships in the base game and official extensions display either 5 or 30. In fact, they have three different rotation rates: 6, 9, and 12. Those seem to be in degrees per frame, so multiply by 30 to get degr...
