From what I can tell, it needs to rotate. (Or at least should)

Progress is still being made! And it is looking to be a fun but very different game of Transcendence.
For fun, here is a screenshot of the Ship Selection Screen.... not much to do, but that might give you a hint at how different the game will be :D

It will still be some time before it is fully playable, but I will try to get the initial level out as fast as possible, for fun and testing...

The hint is not that its First-person though.

I've got to say though, in the screenshot the ship is firing weapons from side-mounted cannons. I thought that the ship would be unarmed.

Thats not a representation of the playership at all; its merely a picture.
The playership is really more of a cursor.

I know. I just meant that as it is the selection screen for the cursor ship, I assumed it was supposed to be the cockpit.

Yay! A screenshot!
I have to say the ship select image does look a bit weird -- maybe it should be more representative of a large scale battle or something? And rename "player cursor" with simply, "Let's play" or something?

alterecco's been hammering out some fantastic code the last week.
I had some hardware issues preventing me from getting any work done
The mod is moving along nicely. We're honing in on the key gameplay elements and refining the mechanics as we go. There have been a few hurdles to overcome getting things working together nicely but we have overcome them and avoided any major blockers thus far.

If you are still in need of beta testers, might I be among those who apply for the honor?

"If you poked it with a stick you might come to the conclusion that it was dead... However, if you poked it with a stick you might not know if it was really just dormant..."
True alterecco, but there are some beasts who might, in spite of the stick, choose to play dormant until it suits them to do otherwise. By prodding the mod's author (you), we might start a chain of events which would lead to the mod's continuance.
I think that this is a more pleasing alternative to reviving the mod by digital sorcery...

Ok, here's a mockup of what I imagine it to be. Credits to Jeoshua for the image of Earth.

Indeed, that is true. However, one of the main reasons that this mod was never finished is that it was a collaboration between Prophet and I. Some time ago Prophet dropped out for a while, and while he is back now, and would probably be interested in working on Syrtian again, I am very very busy at the moment :/Darth Saber wrote:By prodding the mod's author (you), we might start a chain of events which would lead to the mod's continuance.
So, i really hope to get back to this one day. As a matter of fact I was looking at it again just the other day. But I don't see it being completed in the nearest future.
