Hmm, i just though of something, rediculous I'm sure, but what the h...: How about while going through the universe you come upon an abandoned alien craft and switch into it. You are able to figure out how to steer it, the reactor seems to accept the fuel's you're used to and most of the basic syste...

Well, just my input on this: 1. How does the re-stocking work? Do Ice Farms just make more Martian Nori? Basically you restock what would be appropriate for a given station - in other words - what that station produces. 2. How does that preserve game-balance? Wouldn't trade routes yield infinite mon...

Nice one, thx for the efford

So - let me see if I get this straight: You envision a player-independent economy that mines resources, transports them to various fabrication stations, produces items (e.g. armor, weapons, ammunition) and then ships dock, buy & equip items? Well, basically that sounds fantastic in theory, making a ...

Ah... guess I've been writing faster then properly reading... edit: had an idea for the cpu. it could give you an stat screen that would tell you the exact stats of your ship (max speed armor resistances and whatnot) D'uh... :oops: Btw.

What I meant was, that having the background to the factions/ sovereigns could proof useful when one wanted to discuss if a certain faction/ sovereign should have variations i...

Sorry, my mind was still tuned in on the discussion of hero ships and variations of ship equipment & which faction should be most ..uh... various.
There a little background of this sort would be helpful.

Original Post in the Unofficial Transcendence Forum I find this really useful, but the real discussions seem to be happening here now - so I hope it's ok to copy it over here and update it maybe a little Here is a quick description of the various sovereigns in the game. Note: You may not want to in...

Well, did some thinking about missions in general and here it comes... a) they should provide an alternative means to make cash other then from kill-loot-cycling b) missions should allow oneself to stay a little more in-character (as trader I'd be better off making trade runs between stations) c) di...

No, no... can't say I did until you brought it up.
Though it's difficult to get rid of it now... *mumble*

Would be useful to have a gerneral overview of Factions and their suppliers in order to discuss this properly.

Honestly guys... There's some poor souls out there in the vast emptyness between the stars, never setting foot out of his little shell of a world, forced in there by believes pressed on him by his forebears and probably fast on his way to toe #13 from all the lack of fresh gene-input (talk about clo...
