I have, in fact, been killed by a gaian *wreck* explosion. Even the disintegration has a wmd value! what's up with that? PS: a quick word out to all my fellow "cheaters" - you may have noticed that immediately after a taikon station blows up, a corporate cruiser comes to salvage the bling. If you wa...

I've pointed out before that since the laser is made of light, it travels at the speed of light. We know that the range of the laser beam in the game is 60 Light seconds, so it whould take the beam 60 seconds to travel that far. Since it doesn't, we can assume that the game is played at a faster tha...

the omni tev-9 is my fav pretty much until the IM90. if i happen upon a omni-ion beforehand, i try it but honestly the IM90 is just the spam weapon to have late game. pretty much the last part of the game is saving up to get one and then you're set until iocrym. either get the lamplighter or the Go...

Mining without miner's hold bug

I find that if I attempt to "bring aboard" ore without a miner's hold, I get a warning that I will only get some of the ore, and when I hit continue, I get another dialog screen in which the text is "unable to find item in list ### (objremoveitem gsource theitem) ### This dialog screen has options C...

The Law of unintended consequences (spoilers)

So, I'm playing through .99, and when I get to a late level system that has gaian ships (which fly around blowing up wrecks), I did my standard trick: I flew to a ringer base and surrounded it with crates of junk (one helium rod per crate, or maybe a broken itme in a crate, whatever). This draws the...

regarding the barrels/roms/etc, some can be identified by where they are sold. There is a certain rom that is the only rom sold at fuel stations, so if you see an unknown rom at a fuel station, you know that it must be that particular rom.

Iris: three decent ways to convert credits to rins. First, buy (with credits) ores that the ringers want and sell them to the ringers for rins. Second, buy high level weaponry and sell them to the teratons for credits. Third, use the trading post order system to buy large amounts of ore, weapons, or...

Be patient. George will release 0.99 whenever he feels it's ready. Besides, the longer we have to wait for the release may mean the less amount of bugs we may encounter. Wouldn't want to rush the game just to find it's ladled with bugs, now would we? :P I wouldn't want a game that was *laden* with ...

When I play , I tend to use that method that allows you to go from the systems in the begining of the game to the systems at the end of the game and back, quickly. What is this method? I can't say, because that would be a spoiler. But anyway, using this method, I loot high level armor from the late ...

Thoughts about time in Transcendence

I noted recently that the Omni laser cannon has a range of 60 LS, where LS are Light Seconds, the amount of distance light travels in a second. If you look at your map, each square is 100 LS by 100 LS. The trouble is, it doesn't take the laser 60 seconds to travel 60 LS, even though lasers travel at...

a guide to omnidirectional weapons

I guess you could say it's an omnidirectional Omnibus. My goal is to list and describe all the weapons in transcendance that don't require you to aim. Omni laser cannon: Level III. 3 MW. The freighter starts out with this weapon, and you can often buy one in the stores of the first few systems. Bein...

Seriously though, I save, die, and resurrect all the time. I'm aware that some people try to make it through without dying, but I'm not one of those people.

I've posted descriptions of the same 'sploit. As my name implies, I like omni weapons, and I often play with a freighter with two of the same omni weapon. Some notes: - I've saved the Charon korolov station with two collimated omni lasers. - If you press any other button while holding down the 'w', ...
