I've redesigned the Transcendence web site.

http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence/index.html

This new site will hopefully have more expansion possibilities (e.g., I want to add more content about the various sovereigns in the game).

Of course, the site is still a work in progress (not much on the mods section) but I'll fill it in over time.

Very nice, George. It looks awesome.

On a related note, would you like us to put together an updated captain's primer? The one up there is pretty badly out of date.

Amazing!
Love the site, has slots for all that cool stuff. It would be cool if some of the collections of ideas from the Offical and UnOffical forums, into the game and it would be perfect. BTW:
I'm good at php, and I'll set up a uni-ID checker script for you. The mod page.

Just a suggestion port the blog at least to a CMS like Wordpress, it would be faster? :D I'll port your theme if you want. I'm a WP Pluging and Theme Dev.

Looks great, especially enjoying the new images - never knew the Sapphire's front section was flat.

Also digging the new timeline/background, that clears up a lot of stuff..

Very nice! Looks amazing.

Any chance you'd divulge the font you used for the section headers (screenshots, explore, etc.)? ;)

And promptly a typo found on CaptainsPrimer.html
"The term 'shallow cyro', is ..."
I guess there are more - well, I'm sure that if I were to write something this long I would make dozens of typos.

Glad to know there are pretty good readings newly available!

It's probably worse due to the fact that the primer is entirely player written. A bunch of us over at the UTF got together, each of us writing a section or two of it.

So yeah, that one's not George's fault. :P

Nice layout! I like it =)

One request: would it be possible to write a little RSS feed for the news?

Beautiful! Much more organised than the last one, and it seems there'll be lots of room for expansion like you said.
Oh, I'm reading the Timeline right now, noticed a typo:
Transcendence Timeline wrote:with armed ships. NEO colonist resisted the ban
Should be "colonists".

Some more stuff:
- The link text in 'Transcendence Links' looks a little blocky (also in 'Explore'). Weird banner, too, but in a good way :P Could maybe use a bit more variation. There are more than two Xenophobe ships.
- The FAQ's layout seems a little... jerky. Maybe because it's all centered? Could just be me, though.
- Is there any way to make a high-res version of this:
Image
available for desktop backgrounds? It's a very nice image when the stargate and loading stuff isn't there, perhaps good enough to replace my current Starcraft II one 8)
- Also, I gotta say that the heading banner in Downloads is awesome with that view of the Ares Dreadnought like that; just awesome :D
- On the main page, the Urak station overlapping the orange side-menu thing is a little blocky, with a black outline sort of thing.
- Great font you've been using, too bad it costs money :'(
- If you're looking for any more screenshots to add, I have a fair few you could use.
- Speaking of screenshots, when you look at the larger versions they're a little blocky due to resizing. Anything you could do about that?

Why should we use Wordpress if we can build it ourself? It's not that hard to build a RSS feed! I would do it if George wants ;) (But I think he knews about it himself)

//Edit:
Just saw that neurohack itself has a RSS feed =) So my request is done ;)
