Post 800 :lol:

Anyways, I'm announcing the resurrection of the captain's primer re-writing project.

I have started rewriting things on the transcendence wiki: http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/wiki
The page is under "ingame reference"'s "getting started".

It would be greatly appreciated if someone would help upload the "facing left" image of every ship to the wiki so they can be used in the tutorials.
FYI- just upload .jpg's

I can work on the "facing left" ships, a picture of all ships in the game facing left, categorized by faction, with ship names?

Image
full size
First draft.

before I finish, is that properly categorized, complete, spelled right, etc?

If so I will add the color coded names(green=friendly red=enemy yellow=either) and reupload the finished version.

does anyone know the name of the 2nd ship down on the left side?

I cannot find it, mediumships3.jpg is found 11 times in the transcendence sources and none point to that ship. Unused ?



Wolfy, Captain's Primer really needed an update! I'm gonna help too. :D

I forgot the meth enforcer and tenhove sentinel too.

Here's the complete, updated, all ships.jpg. that should be it unless any errors or design flaws pop up, I kept the gimp file for easy repairs.

no thumbnail this time, they do nothing from that host here.

EDIT: reuploaded, "black market" was bolded

awesome that it now has the ship names! :D

BTW- one of the kobol ships just says "unship" and the giant version of the T31 transport is left unnamed (not that I think it had a name). perhapse just call it "unnamed ship"?

You may want to upload this one instead, I forgot the Barbary... can't see how, the things used to tear me to shreds and I still focus my fire on them first.
