Sanity, please!

[evilbob]

is it just me, or has the difficulty level of trancedence gone insane?
in some games I've been fighting hammerheads in erandi, drakes by the third system, I've seen slavers by Rigel and in some games not a glimpse of them until several systems after st. K's! what's going on?

[Yugi]

Randomness is what's going on.
Your just unlucky, that's all.

EDIT: Though I would say the game has gotten harder since less recent versions, though not by much.

[Siegfried]

I havent had any problems.

The earlier versions were tougher for me, although that might be due to the fact I wasnt very sure of what I was doing.

[Yugi]

I remember my first game, before the feature of thos tips showing up (like "Press F1 for help") was added, and I went through most of the game without using any items or barrels.
I actually went quite far, considering...

[Siegfried]

Until I figured out what I was doing, the Sung slavers were the bane of my existance ><.

I've noticed that using some mods can/will create odd randomness at times. Like testing a level 8 item in Eridani sometimes results in finding higher level items in the lower level stores. Or, as evilbob has discovered, higher level enemies in early systems.

Ever found an omnidirectional particle cannon in Eridani? I did, once!

[evilbob]

a while ago, in 0.97, I went through a phase of finding many shields in charon pirate chaches(sp?).

I have too, though also only once.

Finding an omnidirection particle cannon before finding the Heliotropes should be made impossiblish. Makes things toooooo easy.

Then again, that's the fun of it. Blowing up everything non-"constructively chaotic".

[Yugi]

How about "destructively chaotic"?

I got that "constructively chaotic" from somewhere in the Transcendence.xml file. "Destructively chaotic" is non-"constructively chaotic", and thus must be destroyed.

Every commonwealth fortress has one. If you beat the 1st mssion, you can perchase one.

[F50]

I once found a fortress in the system after Rigel

[goat not sheep]

I found a fortress in the second system. I also found the sung in the second system too...

[Yugi]

I highly doubt that.
