What's up with the Constellation?

I... just don't get what's going on with this ship. If I'm understanding correctly, I'm supposed to be able to replace anything on my autons in the bay, so long as it falls within their power and weight limits. However, the only thing I'm actually able to swap out is armor. I cannot replace their we...

Re: Song 'N' AssumedPseudonym's Superior Sounds (Alpha)

Just gave this a whirl after a recommendation from AP and seeing/hearing it in action in Elemental Shift on Twitch. Some initial thoughts: The early game is much nicer with this mod. I like the more mellow laser and kinetic sounds. The laser sounds are more silly but that's not a bad thing. The mini...

Re: So let's talk about Eridani

-I think the Benedict tutorial should start immediately upon docking at Sisters of Domina, rather than making the player find it through the "Matriarch's Chamber". On my first playthrough, I docked, clicked on some other tabs, and left. The green rings marking the station went away, and I thought th...

Re: Would like to see more teamwork among modders and devs

 …Clearly Song and I need to work on our marketing campaign… Calling SNAPSS "obscure" was partly a rhetorical flourish, since it's on the multiverse page, but I did learn about it from you. My point is that you shouldn't have to have a marketing campaign at all! I don't think George makes enough fr...

Re: New device category: "exposed" in addition to internal and external

Fair point. I guess that's my actual idea, then: that external devices could have variable chances of being damaged. Perhaps this isn't so important.

Would like to see more teamwork among modders and devs

I've come to love Transcendence over the last few months. Recently I started getting slightly more serious about it, posting here on the forum, watching the Twitch, and trying out mods. I've been amazed at the long time modders and debuggers who have been committed to this game for 10+ years and kno...

New device category: "exposed" in addition to internal and external

An idea came to me while listening to the most recent Twitch session. What if there were an additional category, let's say "exposed", for devices/weapons that are side-mounted or on swivel mounts? They wouldn't be as vulnerable as fully external devices like patch spiders, but they also wouldn't be ...

Some late-game bugs and/or gripes (CC, 1.8b4)

Good day/eve. I came across a smattering of things that seem to need tweaking in the late game. [SPOILERS BELOW. Avoid this post if you have not yet played past Jiang's Star.] These may not all be bugs, per se, but this seems like the best place on the forum to post them. Lmk if I ought to re-catego...

Re: The Backroads — an alternate route

I watched George's most recent Twitch session, and I think the new code that he was discussing (allowing for more randomized/customized spawns based on topology) will greatly help your mod. I'm excited about that. Bearing in mind that the missile ship is not intended as a starter, and also because I...

Re: Project Renegade (Beta) (1.7)

Hi Xephyr, I just tried out this mod (following the "ad" on your footer) and I really like it so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. Are you still actively working on this project? It seems to run fine in 1.8b4. The new material creates a distinct mood and feels like a unique adventur...

Cutest 1.8b4 bug ever: himal station can't shoot past itself

This poor Himal Refuge is confused. Its shots are blocked by its own body. Its beams flash hopefully but never make it out. https://www.alandramarkman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Screenshot-from-2018-12-22-20-02-21-1024x576.png I am lonely! I miss the beams that once were beamed to me! This incid...

Re: Minor 1.8b4 bugs in CC: backtracking to Eridani and side-mounted weapons

Yes, NMS, there was an exclamation point. I think you're right about it having to do with failed missions in Heretic. Those messages stopped three or four jumps later, IIRC.

Re: The Backroads — an alternate route

Sweet. So I take it the way to approach gameplay with this mod is to follow the main quest line and check into the new (TBR) systems along the way-- that they'll advance along with the rest of the game? It was confusing just trying to decide which direction to go in. I didn't see any big hints about...

Re: The Backroads — an alternate route

Thanks for inviting me to check this out. I'm just going to share some first impressions, not super-organized: I tried the missile-only ship, which is a very interesting and enjoyable gimmick. I like the ammo nanofac/Heisenmachines CPU system. It seems to me that this ship works well in the early ga...

Alandra's introduction

Hi all! I'm so enjoying this game. I thought I'd introduce myself. Alandra Markman is my name IRL. I don't mind sharing it here because I'm used to being in the public eye as a teacher and performer anyway. I'm a meditation guide, higher-dimensional starseed (ET) empath/healer, poet, dancer, and mus...
