Final Arena choice

I'm ready to meet Slicer in the Arena and I have to decided to help Kate Morgental and Katami, destroying a Black Market in the process. What are the advantages and disadvantages. I'm counting on more Black Market action. Will helping Katami mess me up with them?

Altering TranscendenceSource files

I'm enjoying playing the game after a 2-3 year layoff. (I like the changes I've seen so far.) My question: I remember being able to make some small changes in the game by just editing files in the TranscendenceSource files, without making new extensions. Does that still work, and how do you do it? T...

The trigger for getting attention from the B.M. Station Boss---- a single large buy, or a total of smaller buys? And what's the amount needed?

Blackmarket strategy

I played Transcendence years ago and remember developing a strategy to make money with Black Market, but don't remember the order to buy/sell, etc. Any suggestions?

George, using your code was successful as well, though I think Betelgeuse's question about the argument was right. There was an error message "Insufficient argument ###(objSetData theShip "terra"### But it worked. The name CSC Terra shows up on the screens and the map, and it's not flying toward the...

Betelgeuse, your fix worked. Feedback for finetuning the code: When I hit the C button, nothing happened on screen, so I hit it again,---and again--and again. When I hit the B button, there were about 10 CSC Terras on top of me. Reloading the save file--worked fine just hitting C once. BTW, the titl...

I did it. Made an xml file called createterra.xml and put it in Extensions folder. The ship screen showed up like you said, I chose Create csc terra. Got an error message about an already created unique something. No CSC Terra anywhere in site. Don't know if I'm doing something in wrong sequence, or...

Any takers? How to create a new CSC Terra in my game? P.S. I saved a game right before entering Dantalion system for the first time, if putting the new CSC Terra in an unexplored Dantalion system makes it easier. My code skills are limited to adapting what's already in the xml files. Thanks in advan...

3 damaged katana star cannons in the loot.
I guess the RNG just doesn't like me.

I've searched (almost) every square inch of the four possible systems for Terra with no success. There is a wreck of a starship carrier in Penati close to and between an Ares shipyard, a Ranx Fortress and something else. Is it possible it's Terra? (I doubt it)
Ideas?

Finding CSC Terra

I'm enjoying some of the new storyline and missions in 98d. I've arrived Dantalion and found the Antarctica on my own. I've chosen not to dock there yet, cause I want the mission from Terra, but I haven't found Terra. There are 3 systems between Point Juno and Dantalion. If I've read previous posts ...

cyberattack defense?

I'm currently well-protected with a Mammoth 50mw. There are some times I have to wait a bit to let it restore, but so far it's good (probably two-thirds through the game now). However, I just barely got away after going through several cyber attacks of drop sheild. How to protect from that?

best armor?

I picked up Carbide Carapace pretty early in the game (by St. K) and have added ion protection to it. I remember when I played in earlier versions that seemed to be about the best armor. Now, though, I'm seeing some new armor that looks at least as good. What's your experience?
