I had an idea to consider for future versions. There could me certain places (ringers or some post-Heretic race) that allow you to make some ship upgrades permanent and do not use up a device slot. This would apply to stackable items such as ICX and patch spiders/arms. It should not apply to shields...

I really like that idea as a new race. The capships send out a small fleet of unarmed scavenger drones that loot wrecks for weapons and defenses and then bring them back to the capship to arm whatever is useful

George, I had some ideas for other types of cyberattacks. Presently we have -Scramble (disables target's controls) -Shieldsdown (shuts down target's shields - except superconducting) -Peaceful constraint (disables only targets ability to fire) I'd like to propose: -Antipatch (disables armor repair s...

It would be interesting to add a random chance (maybe like 10% per occurance) that a generated capship has some experimental upgrade such as ion reflection shields or an archcannon added. Wouldn't it be a nasty surprise to come across a Dreadnaught with an Omni ares archcannon added to it?

I could be wrong, but I think Ringers are currently the only ones able to install a device of that level. Besides, there is no ammo available in the game for the Kyrtin launcher yet anyways.

Well, I have to agree that if capships are beefed up, they should be less frequent (and have more/better loot too!). One game when I was holding my own against two dreadnaughts at a time (Using only a Yori MX I think), a third dreadnaught showed up and toasted me while I fumbled around to try and us...

I fail to see the problem with having capships do double-duty as carriers. Granted, the context is different, but it works for the Star Destroyers in Star Wars right?

Oooo!! I like the idea of ringer-based missions. It might help to give more insight to the motives of the ringers! It would be interesting if they refuse to even offer you any missions until you've traded a certain amount with them first. Speaking of trading, ringer missions would be a great alterna...

And on that note, what are the chances that you could release the model files used in the game? Good? Bad? Slim? None? If you'd rather not, I don't blame you, but I figured I'd at least ask.

I figure there would probably be a few human or human descended settlements past Heretic. For one thing, it's unlikely that Iocrym command ship was ALWAYS there. There may have been human settlers that managed to get past heretic BEFORE the gate was closed and guarded. Also, it had to have been clos...

I don't want to mislead people into thinking that Transcendence is 3D. I think it's OK for the forums (since everyone knows what the game looks like) but I don't think I would "advertise" the game this way. I don't agree with your reasoning as advertisement art is not expected to represent game gra...

It *COULD* be done, but would require either using a Hex editor with some knowledge of the file structure, or using a tailor-made savegame editor which does not yet exist to my knowledge.

I think he's asking for any kind artwork that uses more detailed rendering of the game models than is shown in the game (such as your Sapphire and stargate banner).

I tried to post this the other day at UTF, but it looks like it didn't stick. Anyways, here is my idea for how to expand the cyberattack aspect of the game. To solve the problems of being hit excessively with cyberattacks, when a ship hits your ship with a cyberattack, hit or miss, your ship will be...
