A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Tinker Gathering

One of my Drones unintentionally P.O.ed a Tinker station, and it was a really well defended one being in a later system. After being attacked several times just for flying too close I resolved to do something about it. Not wanting to lose my "never destroyed friendly stations" conduct, just for fun ...

Re: Stopping mods from descending in chaos

Being a modder, I don't think I even saw this page. I think we should definitely make it more visible on the wiki, forums, Xelerus and on IRC so this problem does not occur. The problem is this: I remembered having seen them, but it took me a few minutes to track them down. If the standards page wa...

Re: Stopping mods from descending in chaos

There are already standards in place covering this. I remembered having seen them, but it took me a few minutes to track them down. The quote below is from the "Xelerus Rules and Standards" page on the Wiki. http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/wiki/xelerus_rules_and_standards Directory standards...

Re: Favourite LvL 8 Thermo Weps

they can bust a late game station in 2 - 4 hits, for one thing. They also have a large area shockwave so as to hit lots of ships in a swarm and be a little forgiving of bad aim. The more common micronuke lacks the power but moves faster. If I can't get an ares launcher I usually drop launchers all-...

What is it in particular that you like about warhammer nukes? I seldom use launchers, almost never with unguided missiles. I'd like to know what I'm missing? :?

Re: What do YOU want in 1.07?

Why would mines install a miner's cargo hold or other mining equipment for you, just to have more competitors? The player should first do at least one mission for them. Hi Val, I believe that the things you are calling "mines" are in fact mining colonies: Stations where a group of miners live when ...

Re: What do YOU want in 1.07?

Based on my limited experience, I have a hard time seeing lack of insurance coverage in Elysium as being a problem. It appears that there are never bad any guys there, in fact never any other ships except my wingmen (though maybe I just haven't gotten far enough into the game), so I can only see fou...

Re: Hi, and a few questions

8. Is it worth getting patcher arm? 8.Not usually, but they can be useful. patch spiders have the advantage over them (you can have a whole bunch with no device slots used, and while they can be damaged if they're on your hull and you are hit by weapon fire, they can really save money, time, and de...

Can we (users) add additional Smilies to the forum?

There are a few that I really miss, including "doh!" and "thumbsup".

And BTW, is it just just me or does our "Mad" smilie :x really look more constipated than angry?

Re: 1.06 / 1.06a : have a question :

has ANYONE befriended the huari in this version.... I'm part way through a 1.06a game and the Huari became friendly right on schedule (after I'd destroyed a total of six Sung fortresses and citadels). A couple months back, playing 1.05, I fooled myself into thinking I'd gone past six Sung station k...

Re: [George] How is looting done (in-universe)?

When handling big stuff, a lot could probably be done with a low tech, low-speed winch and some kind of shock absorbing buffer mounted in the back of the cargo bay, or maybe even just a net to stop the stuff.

Re: What do YOU want in 1.07?

Appending this to the whole prisons idea: Occasionally capturing the pirate(s) from the ship(s) you just blew up and turning them over to the nearest commonwealth station for a reward. They act as normal loot. I think this is a great idea. Piracy prisoners could work very much like slaves. That sou...
