There's at least 2 requirements....Korolov or Arena rank is one of them. XP value is another, I think.....My advice is: Go back and kill any enemy stations you've missed, along with as many random encounter enemies as you can. That may get XP up to the right amount.

the probe dropping isn't really that hard once you know how. 1: drop a probe 2: fly a way away and drop another each probe knows how far away the anomaly is from itself each probe shows it's distance from you on the hud 3: fly until the distances match and drop a probe. 4: if that wasn't it, match ...

was your mark III currently your active chosen weapon? Do you have a speed loader too? only one enhancement is displayed with the blue tag, +fast generally crowds out others. The second is the most likely......to find out, you just disable the loader (that thing eats power anyway)....if the booster...

I don't think you really need to hint that when your armor reaches zero, you die. :P But I believe we all agree that insta-death is bad. If they want to mess with your ship and break things, that's OK, but don't kill the player. Yah. I only said that the ship is a LOT more fragile than people think...

What were the major hints that you gave? Teraton research instakill thing (Don't do Teraton Research), Slave trade instakill thing (Don't do slave trading) and The fact that you die easily if you aren't careful because armor has yet to be buffed after the shield nerf. You'd find out the latter easi...

**** Spoiler! **** And don't forget that you can take certain ores to a tinker to have them made into armor plates (plasteel, cerallox, duranium, orthosteel) that sell for twice as much (at an armor dealer) as the ores are worth. ***BIGGER SPOILER*** I made a thread saying how much ore and other th...

Today, I told some friends online about Transcendence.....I've already given them 3 major hints so they don't get unexpected Instakills, and I suspect I'll have to give at least 4......

Really, I should have to give one or two tiny tips, and NO warnings about instakills.....

That 'pirate!' thing really needs to be changed :P Agreed on that.....I had a great playthrough in a Stalwart cut short by hitting a freighter with my Morningstar THROUGH the arena walls.....(yes, I know this has been talked about a LOT).... And more upgrade ROMs for the LRS would be nice.....I'm s...

I'm probably the only experienced player who has never purchased an IM90 in this game. I've been playing longer than you and I haven't either. I have generated them in debug though and am not pleased with their performance. Against single targets I consider them inferior to the omni ion blaster and...

Part of my hardcore play-through incentive was the custom playerships. I want to see how far I can get in each ship. So far I've made it to Heretic and stopped at the point where I'm blasting endless sentinels in both the Starlight and the Stalwart without dying, while playing the Molotok has resul...

That looks like a black hole/wormhole thats attempted to mate with a container of radioactive waste....and would make a seriously MEAN weapon effect....if that were possible.

Pterevores

I've been wondering for a while......exactly what is the effect of pterevores? And by how much do they affect you? I've had exactly TWO hit me....due to my tactic of spray-n-pray with an IFC (which I adopted after those two hit me when i was using an Ion Lancer before finding the IFC)....but I know ...

....Hmm. Higher value would be good in the present form. As it is, mining < Ptreavores < Ferians for getting money/rins in the mid-late game (Ok. By the time you get pterevores, you shouldn't need any more cash...but it's way more fun than MINING...) Plus maybe something a tiny bit like the pterevor...
