More Ideas

[TedStudley]

Dockable planets would be nice, as you should be able to land on a planet. How did you get your spaceship into space in the first place, anyway

Multiple stargate systems. You would think that whoever built the stargates would have a lot more systems to visit than just a string of them! Maybe have some stargates that have powered down (somehow) and have an item that you can use to restart them. Transcendence equivalent of locked doors

And last but not least, have the mining laser actually DO SOMETHING!!! I remember the first time I played transcendence, I bought a mining laser and spent about 15 minutes firing it at an asteroid, before I realized that nothing was happening. What's the point!

These ideas have all been suggested before, and I believe they're all on the to-do list for version 1.0.

Well, it could've been built in a shipyard, which probably orbited a planet.
Remember that in Transcendence Earth has been annhialated. If you don't know what i'#m talking about, go and read the Timeline

You haven't gotten to the last system yet, have you?

There is 1 stargate in the game that is powered down already. I can make a mod, though, to make an unmobile stargate...but there's probably no way to restart it...not that I know of. I guess I can look at the main XML again...

The mining laser is just a name...a very decieving name. If you want to mine,.. use a mod red pig made...on the UTF.

[TedStudley]

yeah, there's one. You should add more, maybe that you don't need quite as much to get running again! And no-one's commented the idea of multiple stargates

[goat not sheep]

It has already been suggested... even a maze of gates. Use this...go here. Use that...go there. Use..go...oh! Dead end! Read the UTF. You'll see.

Your ships doesn't look very aerodynamic.

But I like the idea of docking at orbital space stations and taking a shuttle/space elevator down. It's really the same effect, so it doesn't really matter. But I'd say most planets, especially in post St k's, there wouldn't be much there, they're frontier colonies.

That idea has been suggested throughout pretty much the entire history of the game, so it's not exactly a new idea.
Forgive us for not being too enthusiastic to talk about it.
Here's a small discussion about it.
This is the main discussion about it.
