Finally I understood what was going on in the menu !

It's just Playable Screensaver, but without screen S and without the possibility of flying :!: :!: :!:
We have just to add this posibility.
You are the masters so... :?:

Here's My idea of A Trans-Arcade.

Use the normal controls to move, but there would be a list of ships you want to spawn. pressing N would spawn one next on the list, K would spawn a random ship. P and O switching what ship you Control. (like in the Screensaver)
the mouse can be used to manipulate the list. 'twould be awesome!
If Transcendence was made in 3D, I would die of Happiness.

Overwriting controls in transcendence is very hard, if not impossible from XML. But what you might be able to do is use DSF for manual control, or just make timers and spawn ships every few seconds, with the ship levels increasing. The trick is to see how long they can survive.

For this idea to work you'd basically need to recreate the entire game with an arcade play in mind, which would be very difficult. Even then Darkos point is valid.

Ok, I got just an intresting idea about screensaver. Ss looks very good, so maybe it's posible to make High Definition version of it :?:
(and most effective, show)
I thing then it will be looks GREAT, most in good TV (Sony Bravia for example).
It's my dream to run up HD screensaver from Transcendence in big TV or projector.
What do you thing ?
