A native port of Transcendence is in the works, but it's good to hear that Wine works well with it :) Wow, didn't hear about that. Awesome. If you need alpha and beta testers, you have a volunteer. Update on the WINE: Don't know if this IS a Wine issue, but the gunfire sound only plays for about ha...

Well, my computer IS rather top of the line, so I don't know anything about speed problems. And, all I did was start a game, blow up some Centauri, and gate to the next system...but it worked. Without any configuring. (Ubuntu 8.04 with OpenGL, Wine installed.) (ATI HD2400 video card) Now I can start...

*SPOILER*




Of course, a Fast-Fire Laser Cannon + weapon efficency rom, with it's 1-4 damage @ **15**/second takes anything early-game down quick. Through in a laser colliminator...

Why oh why did I trade it in for the Arablast cannon (that three-shot-repeater) and a Solon?!?

Well, I'm learning Ubuntu 7.1. And I don't really have the programming expertise (like, at all) required for such a project. I was just wondering, is all.

Any chance of porting Transcendence to Linux?

I'm trying learn Ubuntu Linux, and I want to be able to play my favorite game without the performance drain of WINE.

Besides, weapons officers don't let pilots fly drunk...on WINE.

What are the powers? Huh? Huh? Huh? (*shamelessly jumps up and down like a little girl*)

Well, there's the example of the Teraton Pit for transforming items, requiring fuel, "happiness boosters", and devices...that might be a good place to start. Oh, and the created items should have some title like, "Cobbled-together Omnidirectional TeV blaster", "Jury-rigged Yoroi S500+20%", or someth...

Actually, that's a GREAT plotpoint.

I can think of one power I'd love, high level or not:

Cleanse: Decontaminate ship and everything withing a few ls.

I love the Tinker deconstruction idea, but I'm afraid it would have to be hardwired into the code to work well.

This reminds me of the weapon upgrading "worktable" of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (KOTOR)...

Cool.

But remember, 100MW Transwarp Jumpdrive * 5 drives = 500MW
Then add shields, weapons, etc. (They could be disabled for the trip, I guess.

That's a lot of fuel. And a lot of cargo space, thus a big ship.

Problem with Dwarg? Three letters, dude: ICX.
Or better, EMP-immune armor/barrel.

Problem with Phobos? Bummer. Try some Scramble cubes.

Problem with spoilers? Then don't get a sportscar. [

My biggest mistake...starting to use unknown ROMs when I still only have a class I shield. Waste of a shield enhancement ROM. No, I take that back. My biggest mistake was trying to use about four diamond crystals on a Yoroi 500 shield generator. Or was it installing 4 segments of worldship armor wit...

I had stopped playing Transcendence for a while, then I learned that the new version had a ton of new stuff. I learned about mining...YAY MINING! Now I'll finally be able to get a decent number of rins...
