Transcendence Expansion

[storm366]

So, NithrilDark threw in the towel and gave all this crap to me. I am now doing a rework of everything he did (SO MANY BUGS!) and let me tell you, he really IS chaotic. The mind this stuff came from, HAD to be crazy. Anyway, I am basically going to add a few new companies, criminal and peaceful factions, and ships to the game. It is basically filler to make the game feel more realistic so it will be adding stuff that you will probably never use, but you WILL see. New itemtables, consumables, launchers, ammo, weapons, devices, shields, armor, etc. New Peaceful Companies: Orion Defense Systems, Taurus Personal Defense Incorporated, Andromeda Shipyards, Scorpio Labs, U-Vex, OmniCorp, Colossus Shipyards, Omnicron Circuitry, Gamma Ray Hair-Care, and many more. Here is a list of current items.

Alot, I know. But NithrilDark already had all the Charon Pirate stuff done, and he and I have one thing in common, we dream REAL BIG. Till next time, This is storm366 signing off!

[storm366]

I will have to post a link to a seperate item list soon, because there are so many

[FourFire]

Good on you, taking up another's purported work.
Well all I can offer is encouragement towards your completion of this extensive mod.
Good luck!

Thanks FourFire.

I am currently working on some ship graphics. Small cheap craft for the slums, can be citizens or in gangs. Gangs may attack you and can start turf wars. I will be adding more slum stations too. Eventually I will find a way to post some sketches I have.

[storm366]

Changed the name since I will be adding more than just items. Inspired by TX2, and I will probably try to use some perverted form of Wolfy's crate ships (they will look extremely different). So if I can use that name, tell me Wolfy!

You will need to get permission from Wolfy to use these graphics.

[storm366]

Ok I have decided not to use cargo ships because 1: Wolfy might get pissed and 2: I might run into some compatibility issues with TSB.

[storm366]

Ok, I have not posted in quite some time now. I have recently uploaded CP Expansion Beta onto Xelerus, which overwrites the Vanilla Transcendence Charon Pirates to have their own items and stuff (including one missile launcher that will soon be expanded to three). Besides that I have requested that Xolarix make me some ship graphics because, seriously, he is the best 3d ship model maker (designer? builder?) that I have ever seen. Um if anyone knows what to call a guy that makes professional looking 3d ship graphics, tell me. Anyway, I have managed to get all the Korolov Armors done, several of the lower class shields, and I will soon be cannibalizing parts of old modpacks that people have forgotten about *cough* Hiatus modpack *cough* plus some great PoC's I found. I will also be adding in a shield for the Luminous that actually 'borgs' while the drone is flying about, yeah, I'm that evil.

Subclasses for lots of ships and stations to help further diversify them. Example: stCharonPiratesCacheSCa has 1-4 Corsair-I's while stCharonPiratesCacheSCb has 3-5 Corsair-I's OR 1 Viking-I, and so on. New Items Tables to add complexity to items drops. It will keep certain stuff from being here but almost guaranteeing that it will be here. Example: Charon Pirate Items will only appear in places that have the Illegal tag and/or the CharonPirates tag. The CharonPirates tag will be further divided into CharonPiratesMissiles, CharonPiratesConsumables, CharonPiratesWeapons, CharonPiratesShields, and so on... I am using the Charon Pirates for these examples because I love the Charon Pirates and I have the most experience modding them. Oh, I will be doing this for ALL the Criminals so that you have Anarchists Items, Outlaw Items, Black Market Items (will be distinguished from Illegal) and so on. Many of the Criminal Factions will get an overhaul and when I learn code, an AI overhaul at first. I hope to eventually somehow make an AI that learns as it goes... but I dont know if that is possible yet so...

Long-Term Goals
-New Companies
-Finite Resources
-Interactive Freighters (they actually deliver stuff)
-New Unaligned Pirates (not similar to Atarlost's mod)
-New Slums Stations
-Freighters for the criminal factions that actually "loot" items
-New Shields
-New Weapons
-New Sounds
-New Devices
-New Autons
-New Consumables
-New Factions
-New Weapons Graphics
-New Ships
-New Ship/Station Subclasses (to increase diversity)
-Dockable Planets (I actually know how to do this and will be posting it as a PoC)
-Oracus as a Superbeing (has his own peaceful temples, powers, followers, and such)
-Sisters of Domina (new stations, ships, and dark matter weapons)
-Heretic Expansion (I'm gonna make Darth Saber wet his pants)
-Charon Overwrite (*laughs evilly*)
-Iocrymn Expansion (you will see them BEFORE Heretic with new ship. Some will not be hostile [they will function as a sort of CSC])
-New Ancient Races (mostly automatic ancient stations scattered around some will be hostile, some wont be. Some will trade, some wont. Oh, it will be randomized whether they are hostile/peaceful and whether they can/cannot buy or sell items so no cheating )
-Anything I can think of
-Anything you can think of (please comment)
-Something.... Else OH YEAH, no more Iocrymn Command ship, Iocrymn Fleet along with several other ancient races MWAHAHAHAHAHA
-Graviton weapons (Alien extremely expensive)
-Nanotech Weapons /\
-Antimatter Weapons (what kind of Ancient Race doesn't have Antimatter weapons?)
-Singularity Weapons (Black Hole Guns and stuff)

Ok so now that I have everything prioritized it looks like I will be doing a version of TSB... That people will be able to play before the Sytrians Torch the Earth. Yeah, I went there. Beta versions, Alpha versions, pre-beta version, pre-alpha versions, will be released of many of the items, factions and such. In the end I will have uploaded about one-hundred seperate pieces of the same mod to Xelerus and have to clean up all that stuff later. So much work

That's about it! So tune in next time folks when NithrilDark guest-stars and asks me if I have tried fixing my mod's bugs by setting it to WUMBO (what, you though I was kidding in my signature?)

P.S.: Does anyone know what a wumbo is?
