Re: Help me spend my cash

First, it means that the armor has high resistance to thermo. It takes something like .2 damage per unit of thermonuke damage that hits them. I'm getting more confused. My question about the octocarbide entry in the Wiki again: The quote from the game says “The most advanced armor produced by the T...

Re: Help me spend my cash

Back so some newbie questions, if I may. 1. I can't check the in-game description right now, but I was looking at the level X armors in the Wiki, and I found the one for Octocarbide confusing: The quote from the game says “The most advanced armor produced by the Taikon corporation, octocarbide can a...

Re: Help me spend my cash

Actually, I have never figured out hte fabricator And I'm sorry you feel that way about the wiki, we try to make it as friendly as possible. If you want you can let me know what areas feel that way, or you can even start working on the wiki making it more player friendly. :) I need to be careful no...

Re: How does resistance work?

when you see armor, it always has the hp on it. Say a piece of armor has 100 hp, with 50% resistance to kinetic. That means it could take 150 kinetic damage, rather than 100. If the same armor had 1000% resistance to laser, it means that it could take 1100 laser damage. If it had say -50% resistanc...

Re: Help me spend my cash

One of my favorite things about Transcendence is its amazing replayability. Even if you don't try any of the awesome mods- there are many-, there are conducts, different playerships, and random generation to keep you entertained through many different games. For now I don't want to really change th...

Re: Help me spend my cash

Just a quick note, I just completed this first playthrough. After I got myself some Domina powers and upgraded my equipment with the Fabricator, the final systems became a cakewalk. Though I think I also got very lucky again, as I was able to buy about a dozen longzhu spheres in the penultimate syst...

Re: Help me spend my cash

I'm pretty sure the F2 screen was not implemented until after 1.01. So, there is no way besides going into debug mode and querying the game variables from the console to figure out what rank you are. Well, I've decided not to care about my BM rank if there's only one mission. And for the military, ...

Re: Help me spend my cash

You can see the rank you are with some factions by pressing F2. F2 doesn't do anything in my game. Unmodded 1.01. Do I have to use it while in a certain screen? Well, things are looking not so good again. I was in Qilin, about eight or nine systems past St. K's. It had two Teraton nests, two Common...

Re: Help me spend my cash

Hmm, I took out one Teraton station, but it didn't yield a lot of loot. I had been hoping I could gather everything it had for sale. And the turrets being functional again when I swooped in after I thought I had destroyed them all with the Howitzer first was a nasty surprise. I'm guessing that Chrys...

Re: Help me spend my cash

How could you encounter a luminous station 3 systems after st.k's? I think you probably mean something like Jiang's or Point Juno. Yeah, like I said, it was actually about six systems past St. K's. Just make sure you identify the alien devices first. How do I do that? I think I once installed an al...

Re: Help me spend my cash

I was actually six systems past St. K's, not three. I had only counted the star gates in Elysium. You can save a lot of fuel and money if you turn off your greedier devices while going back and forth selling equipment. And I only just figured out how to do that. I thought I'd have to actually remove...

Re: Help me spend my cash

Thanks for the replies. Though you do make it sound like I can't blame my equipment. Damn. so, what i can see is that you are still using mag launchers, if you have plenty of ammo, ok, keep it, otherwise, you should think about replacing it with a better launcher (i like Nami heavy launchers) I stil...

Help me spend my cash

Hi there, first time poster. I've only played a couple of times yet, and only once before made it to St. K's. Now I'm in a game (1.01, unmodded) that so far went really well, with lots of stations and missions in the early systems, and lots of cash from black market deals. Three systems past St. K's...
