I agree. And at least the first dock screen could be removed, so you see right away what kind of are is there, without having to press "b". I also wouldnt mind if the named ore extension would show up in vanilla - but would appreciate more drastic changes to mining.

My thoughts did go more in the direction: Does syscalcfiresolution check for stuff thats in the way? Should it? Is it actually used for any of these devices? Is there a function does does it and what would be the consequences if the behavior would be modified. Im not a great modder, but if there is ...

Hard to decide ... well, lets combine the network with dynamic systems and see what kind of havoc comes out

Both devices can the really helpful, especially when you cant dodge or evade missiles, mags, or projectiles. However in the later game either one of them get me killed almost as often as they probably saved me. If I dont forget to do so, I disable these devices when docking at a station. If not they...

There are already some mods out there which make mining, identifying and looting ore a bit easier.

• quick loot
• new ore graphics
• packer auton and mining auton

and lots of others

However I would also appreciate some changes to mining in "vanilla" transcendence.

This is probably not 1.08b-specific, but I noticed that while switching weapons there is a power peak even if there is no other weapon to switch to (only 1 gun/beam/... type weapon besides launcher(s) is installed).

inability to load a saved game if you have no internet connection

That does work for me. I started Trans, logged in, started a new game, saved, disabled the networking adapter in windows and tried to load a game. It just worked.

Hmmm, Im having an issue posting highscores: Trying to submit a highscore entry for the attached savegame caused Transcendence to crash. No log message, but "Transcendence is no longer working". OS is Win7 Pro, 64 bits. And my score didnt get submitted. Attached .wer file in case this is useful to G...

The feature to have more than one savegame for a player name is really handy, thanks for that! Now I dont have to do ugly things like append an "_", or "-1", "-2", ... to the player name. One thing that is missing in my opinion is a delete button - or the file name displayed in the "load game" scree...

One question ...

How are games with custom extensions handled? Do they also count towards the highscores? If so is there any penalty compared to "vanilla" games?
The JSON-output doesnt give me a clue here.

Well, that would work if I wanted a plain vanilla game. But doesnt help if I forget to do this before starting a new game. I doubt that an unused custom playership with no AI section has any influence on bugs like the one above, but I should have made sure to create a game with no extensions. If the...

So lets hope "installing (the contents of) a barrel" is a "really interesting bug" :D One thing that still (for several versions of Transcendence) annoys me is: Im again playing a game with extensions installed that I dont use. I think I mentioned this several versions back, but I would highly appre...

Another minor issues:

I bought an unidentified level 1 barrel at an armor dealer. The station offered me to install that device - but could not

I nice thing to notice is that 1.08 again runs fine under wine, even with older versions like 1.01 (Debian). Ok, at least with the software-renderer. With "/dx" it crashes on exit, but is playable. Once thing Im wondering about is: There is no hit effect/sound displayed/played when hitting an astero...

Ooops, seems I no longer/never had a trac account (yet) ... Ill create one and a ticket for the autoDefenseDevice.
