I probably thought about Atari for that one when I tried to think of names to use. Yes, Parti does seem silly if one thinks of party, instead of "Parti"cle.

I am close to finishing yet another update for DrakeTech, with some items changed, but with the alpha 2 release imminent, I may or may not delay release until after then. (I already have a big list of changes, with some armor and shield rebalance, more ammo weapons, and hidden level 11-20 devices for possible part 2 mod).

Alpha 2 will add capacitor (and temperature) to properties that can be changed, and I can finally redo build-up weapons as I originally planned.

I removed Solaris from DrakeTech because it was basically a blatant wishlist item and it did not fit since brand names on items (e.g., EI, NAMI, Solon) were introduced. As consolation, I added a Tinker recipe that adds +solar mod to one of the new "gilded armors".

DrakeTech began as an offshoot of my favorite items from Items912. I am slowly trying to assemble a theme or focus for an eventual attempt at a fully-fleshed extension ala Corporate Command. I should try to build ships and stations, then more resources. Then think of excuse plot to hook onto the game. I have a general idea what I want to do (which I posted pieces of here-and-there), and I should write and post those ideas into another topic.

That they were. I think the biggest 'problem' with them was that they had too much of everything. Thier main gimmick was allowing you to pretty much ignore fuel forever, but they also had decent resistances across the board (except blast on light solaris) and were eventually immune to pretty much every status effect going.

They might have been a bit less ott if they instead were expicitly vulnerable to every status effect and had terrible matter resistance even at lv.10, so it then forces the player to pick ONE negative to nullify or just deal with it in exchange for not messing with fuel.

Maybe something for another time perhaps....

Reuploaded Drake Technologies to Xelerus. It adds more items and rebalances some armor and shields. Few items were removed. Restart is required.

Release of 1.7 Alpha 2 seems imminent, and once that is out, I will have more things to experiment with and another update to work on.

Updated both Drake Technologies Alpha and Trading Post Menu to 1.7 alpha 2b and uploaded to Xelerus. I plan to update more mods when I can.

Drake Technologies Alpha received more items (including ore scooper and two more autons), more balance tweaks, and an update to its lone quest.

Trading Post Menu has the Corporate Trading Post overwrite updated. This means it uses the latest trading post station with level dependent stock instead of the 1.6 version. Do *NOT* get this via Resource Library 912. Get from from the Trading Post Menu page at Xelerus.

New uploads:
Auton Assembly Hangar for 1.7: The 1.6 version is still there, for now. The new 1.7 version features harsher item and mass limits.
Solar Reactors: These reactors may be refueled simply by being near a star, but do not accept fuel rods. This is an update of the solar reactors from old Reactor Pack 912.

Updated the following:
Bag of Holding: Fixes infinite dockscreen loop bug in 1.7.
Drake Technologies Alpha: New items, including an energy launcher, reactors, and a solar shield. Ore scooper removed and exported to another mod.
Items Graveyard Pack 912: Removed more items. Added Ammo Clips mod. This is now a dumping ground or graveyard for old and/or weird items.
Ore Scanning Program and Scooper: Ore scanner emits shockwaves when scanning. Imported ore scooper from Drake Technologies Alpha.
Playership Drones v7 Beta: Updated Sigyn playership, shipyards have level appropriate stock, and some bug fixes.
Star Castle Arcade: Simple API update; uses new fuel functions. No gameplay change.
Trading Post Menu: Bug fix - descriptions of unidentified items are not shown.

You should be able to put the mods into a folder named "Extensions" in the same directory as Transcendence.

What specific issue are you having?

When I install MOD that way I was missing key elements in the game like player ship images. Did I install it in the wrong order and / or forgot something?

Sounds to me like you didn't include the graphics libraries.

If you're trying to use Playership Drones, make sure you have the HD expansion from Multiverse, then download these:

Updated Godmode for 1.7 Beta 4 (and API 33), and uploaded to Xelerus. This is the unfinished rework of Godmode, and it does not have as many features as G.O.D. or even earlier versions of Godmode. However, it may be handy for those who want a G.O.D.-like utility for either part 1 or part 2. I will resume work to finish Godmode when I get to it.

Reporting a bug in 1.7 beta 5 (Steam version).

When acquiring an npc wingman, player loses all id chips from cargoholds.

It also seems to remove the ability to gain any more id chips in the game (can't earn from missions, etc)

Updated Playership Drones for 1.7 beta 6. This should fix a bug that prevented field repairs from appearing at most shipwrecks. Also added support for Elixir and Excruciator ships. This update is not quite complete (read: not all new ships have support yet), just enough to function.
