Hello.
I haven't been around for awhile. Lately, I have been playing a game called diep.io. In that game you have controls that allow a bit of side-ways movement, and a bit of reverse movement, as well as forward movement while you shoot at your enemies. I wanted to see if I could do that with transcendence, and remembered the mod "thrusters." Unfortunately, when I installed it for the new version of Transcendence it wasn't working for me. I tried contacting Prophet but he did not reply, and it looks like his last post was back in 2016.
(By the way, I really like the new mouse controls that have been added since I last played!)
I have taken the meat of Prphet's mod, Thrusters, with my noob skills, and made a new working mod that is a bit different from his. Not game balanced - but just fun for testing purposes.
I posted this revised mod to xelerus with this description:
"Thrusters 2 is a take off on the original Thrusters mod made by Prophet back in 2010:

In this version, there are four different launchers that you can self-install. One gives you an after-burner; another allows you to reverse; and the other two give you side thrust. It works best with a decent reactor, because the thrusters/launchers use fuel. They are pretty fun items to use. The side thrusters allow you to strafe. The after-burner gives you the ability to escape. And the reverse lets you back out of a fight, while burning your enemies who get too close."
This is the link to "Thrusters Two" on xelerus if anyone wants to play with it:
