Re: Buying military items without proper identification
It seems like military items are not always confiscated without a military ID in this version, although I need to do more testing to verify this. I'm pretty certain that you can't install military items without a military ID anywhere until Post-St. K's when you start seeing Black Market shipyards.

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
stuff Watch 'n learn, folks; this is how you systematically demolish an argument. :mrgreen: I didn't know any of that stuff about thermo enhancers or Gaian processors. I guess I stand corrected. EDit- it makes sense that thermo enhancers would be easier to get from corporate trading posts, since th...

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
Wow, I hadn't realized. Getting attacked by a Hurin feels much more intimidating than getting attacked by a swarm of Meth Enforcers.PM wrote:Hurin destroyers are armed with six regular slam cannons.

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
I wrote the slam cannon feels weak, not the heavy slam cannon. That said, heavy slam cannon is not that great either, but at least the shots travel fast and the range is decent. Moskva 33 DPS (67.5) is higher than heavy slam cannon DPS (52.5). It better be due to the Moskva's slow shot speed and po...

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
Slam cannon sucks, unless the alternative is a recoilless cannon. It is slow, feels weak (when used by the playership), and a poor basebuster. Heavy slam cannon is a bit better, but I would rather use a Moskva 33 or a mark I howitzer. What you say about "feeling weak" is really important. The heavy...

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
I have similar feelings about the thermo and omni thermo cannons. They seem like they're positioned to be the natural successor to the Akan series (same firing rates and projectile speed, ammo-fed, better damage type), but in practice they're very disappointing: -Akan shells are non-military, ubiqui...

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
What are peoples' feelings w/r/t the slam cannon and heavy slam cannon? They are fine as an enemy weapon, but I find them frustrating to use myself because of the slow firing rate and small projective.

Caligari Truespace 7.61
The caligari website seems to be down; does anyone have a download link for Truespace 7.61 and its help files?

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
Re: Missile defense. For one of my mods, I planned to use two Aegis autons as missile defense for a boss ship (renegade freighter). Playtesting the encounter with missile weapons showed me that the autons' Longreach blew up their flagship in their vain attempt to stop my attacks. Thus, the idea was...

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
Willy, there are no Omni howitzers in Vanilla, so I'm not sure what you're referring too. Atarlost, I find Steel slavers to be much more obnoxious than wind slavers; by the time they appear it would be suicidal to still be using an omni particle cannon. Marauders may not have a sovereign presence in...

Re: Weapon Appreciation Thread
I agree the Omni-Particle is terrible. The problem, though, isn't with the omni-particle, it's with the clustering of particle resistant major enemies. The Sung, Dwarg, Ares, and Kobol all resist particle weapons significantly. If the Sung resisted blast instead of particle weapon balance in the ne...

Weapon Appreciation Thread
I just started playing transcendence again after a couple years hiatus. Well, it's been a while since we had a good weapons thread and a lot of good has come out of them in the past (e.g. denerfing the MAG launcher, improving the Kytryn launcher, the AK505, etc.), so let's have another one! First of...

Re: just wandering in space...
Anacreon is a game that's meant to be played against others. It's also (to some extent) a product of an earlier era, where games were played with manual in hand- remember, the Windows Anacreon is primarily a straight graphical/network port of a game that was first published a quarter-century ago. It...

Turn-related problem with Anacreon 2.1d online multiplayer
Kytren, RPC and I are playing a game on the online service and Kytren has run into a problem where his client reports that he is taking his turn but he can't actually take it. Is there a known cause for this or any remedy other than waiting 2 hours to be skipped?
