Well, if you include Frontier 0.5, then it could be 25 years, though transcendence's 20th year anniversary from public launch would be in 2023

The packed source TDB are fully replaceable by an adventure extensions - you can do total conversions with adventure extensions if you want to.
Some stuff is still baked into the engine, but the game is less baked in than before at least.

Oh thats a neat idea - TSB already implemented a buyer for notForSale items, though at a flat % rate. Could eventually loop back and take a more creative approach with those stations later.

You can file a ticket to have this behavior implemented on ministry: http://ministry.kronosaur.com/

Thanks george - that OR is super helpful, and its great to see ATS happen in an official way via the near stars expansion

Wait, what do you mean by factions - there are factions in the game already (Commonwealth, Centauri, Pirates, Corporations, etc). Do you mean factional relationship with the player? Thats something that mostly isnt in the game and is sort of a trinary state rather than a scalar counter or other more...

Wait what..? 4X? https://i.imgur.com/3cpAS6L.jpg The closest this game has ever been to 4X afaik was a proof-of-concept mod I designed to make the AI factions smarter, letting them (not the player) play against each other in a simulated/abstracted/cut-down 4X experience in order to make the world no...

George has been rendering one ship per week in high def (and occasionally reworking them in the process) - check them out at this link: http://transcendence.kronosaur.com/shipList.hexm Example of one of the ships: http://transcendence.kronosaur.com/file.hexm?filePath=%2fMultiverse.files%2fArticle%2f...

I presume your difficulty ranking is based on relative difficulty for the system level in which you can encounter the boss fight? Also its not exactly a normal 'boss' fight, but theres the aquila fleet sent to kill the antarctica. Then theres EP and CC's bosses too, though arguably that quickly gets...

That is unfortunately an impossible request to fulfill since some unreleased expansions dont even have a topology generator in and thus there is no map to show for them! Its probably much more reasonable to see stuff thats been at least semi-publicly beta'ed though, like TSB (I'm ok with that gettin...

This brings up some interesting points - haven't played in 3 years, due to porting all the TSB/ORE/etc models over to blender and re-rendering them to the new, higher standards (and beyond) taking up the majority of time that would be spent doing transcendence stuff (modding in new content, playing ...

Thanks george!

I think that was my mod. I cant fish it out right now, on a phone, but ill try to later
