The Lamplighter questline is no more transparent than the Huari.

Warning: Spoiler coming up.
EDIT: Can't get the spoiler to work. Black font used.

First the player must have a military ID, which a new player may find quite rare, depending on the circumstances. Then he must do a few CW Fleet missions, and then he must find the Terra. Then he must find the Antarctica. And even then, there are two ways to proceed with the quest, with two valuable but mutually exclusive rewards. I would say the Huari questline is even easier. You just befriend the Huari, visit them, and then everything is set in motion. Just follow the missions through and you will get Qianlong in the end. As for Heretic, the entire system is one big quest, though not hidden.

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.

While in theory that would make it quite hidden, the military ID can be gotten by anyone that takes a mission at a militia base after doing a Korolov or Maximus mission, and the Fleet will basically tell the player what to do from there(Juno's a mainline system, so you're certain to encounter it, and most people will stop at every new kind of friendly station to see what it does, so they'll have found a CSC. The Terra may be missed by some players in some runs if they don't know to look for it, but that's the extent of it.) The Huari, on the other hand, appear as a generic hostile faction like any other unless the player actively decides to avoid harming them during their system clearance.

The Black Market mission is a mission rather than a questline, but is to some degree hidden, given the obscurity of one's means of joining the Black Market(Either kill a bunch of seemingly friendly freighters or go to an otherwise useless area with illegal items in your hold).

I'm pretty sure I made my paragraph with only alphabets, commas, spaces, and full stops. Maybe it's just too long?

Anyway, better we get back on topic.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions.

Im in the process of moving the channel to a new Youtube address, so Ive stopped posting videos of any kind while I focus on this.

Why the move? Long story short I became involved with whats known as a 'Sub 4 (for) Sub' Program. Simply put, its a program where if you subscribe to a youtuber in the program, the same youtuber will subscribe to you back. One would think that this would help small youtubers get bigger, but it actually hurts youtubers in the long run. It lowers the 'rating' in the youtube system and makes it harder for you to be 'discovered' in general.

After discovering this, I made a announcement That I would move the channel to a new address in order to get a fresh start.

Not am I only moving the videos, but Im creating thumbnails for said videos without thumbnails (to drum up traffic). Its a lot of work, and I'll be starting a new job soon which will severely cut into my time. Plus, Im anemic (which means I have trouble getting enough iron in my blood) so I can only do one or two thumbnails a day before I have to quit due to weariness.

I'm not sure how long this will take, but hopefully I can get everything back up and running soon.

In case your curious, Ive made one other Vlog concerning the move.

Thank you all for your patience, and I hope to get back to recording soon.

EDIT: Okay, after a TON of work, Ive finally re uploaded part 5 to the new address. As I go through the transcendence videos, I'll be putting [FIXED] next to the links so you know which videos have been moved. Okay, only 225 more videos to thumbnail and re upload....

Im gonna need more Mt. Dew.... :wink:

The best way I can explain it is like this. Thumbnails are like miniature advertisements. it entices viewers to click on the video to watch it.

It comes and it goes, but when it hits it hits hard.

Everybody has their preferences.

Yup I know what thumbnails are. I just couldn't get the sense out.

Oh! A recurring type. Yup I get it.

:idea: Your anemia might cure if you stop using Mountain Dew :idea:
This drink is banned all over the world except North America because it contains Brominated Vegatable Oil (The same chemical stuff that is used to make fabric, wood, plastic etc. fire resistant) and is linked to a whole range of health disorders in relatively low quantities.

Keep up the playing. I'd like to see more video's of Transcendence online. Might make the game more known among new people. For me it is about the only game that I can keep on playing without getting bored....
