The Lamplighter questline is no more transparent than the Huari. Warning: Spoiler coming up. EDIT: Can't get the spoiler to work. Black font used. First the player must have a military ID, which a new player may find quite rare, depending on the circumstances. Then he must do a few CW Fleet missions...

There's the Huari questline, and then there's the Lamplighter. Dvalin might also count. Lastly there's the Heretic.

Python is easy for small-scale scripts. For complex programs, object-oriented languages like C++ are better. Transcendence engine was written in C++, so any addition would be most easily made in C++. Writing something in C++ isn't really much harder than in Python, provided you're already familiar w...

Only if the ally attacked the enemy recently, or is closer to the enemy than the player and the player has not attacked the enemy too much recently. The second occurs frequently when players try to guide their wingmen away from threats. They tend to lag behind the player and thus become the target. ...

If you want to get technical, well, antimatter is produced when energy is converted to matter, in equal amount. When matter and antimatter collide, they are instantly converted into energy. So no, dark matter isn't the middle between matter and antimatter. As for antimatter's properties, they have o...

In practice, enemy AI almost always target the player, so even if the wingmen flee straight, they will not be under fire unless they flee with the player.

I particularly like your map suggestions. We could use some pop-up information on the map. Unfortunately I believe it'll be very difficult to mod in, since the map doesn't support anything that could be used for that purpose, as far as I know. also, antimatter is actually classified as 'energy'. EDI...

I've found this problem once too, and I'm sure there were no stargate to the Gunsan branch, at least in my case. I backtracked from Heretic and used a system map ROM in every system until Sanctuary, and then an explorer auton in those systems. I even flew in outward spirals in some systems I suspect...

Longzhu spheres are kinda crystals infused with energy, almost magic with how easy they are to use, like you just touch it to whatever you want, and it'll repair if the thing's broken, or enhance if it can, or do nothing if it can't. They're not slave souls as far as I know, but the Sung and the Rin...

Hmm, maybe human weren't as weak as I thought. IIRC the Iocrym came to meet the Commonwealth in St. Kats, which should mean way after Syrtis war. But still, in-game text seems to suggest a small technology revolution right after meeting the Iocrym, with them giving human some quite sophisticated tec...

That'd make all your wingmen fly in the same direction, becoming a bigger target, which is what I want to avoid. Scattering is safer, and I think also easier to implement.

That's pretty weird. Would be interesting to reproduce in every systems.

Remember that the ICS isn't there as the primary mean of quarantine. The Manipulators are. The Iocrym probably never planned for the ICS to actually fight anything. It's a command ship, not a dreadnought. They probably underestimated human, since at the time they met human we were quite weak. The an...

RegDevs means registered developers. They're given access to contents that aren't in the game yet, so that they may use them in their projects or help develop them, etc. They're not allowed to give this information to anyone else. As for the Huari test, you always fail (or actually, pass). The thing...

Should be possible with OnFire event? I've forgotten the details, but you probably can use the event to generate another shot from a virtual weapon (or a copy of the current weapon's shot), and at the same time delete one ammo of the chosen type from the ship's inventory. Before this, you can do a c...
