Fair enough. Got to enjoy the game on your own terms. This, however, is a competitive thread where certain regulations are voluntarily adhered to. In this case, not using resurrections.
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

It doesn't matter to me what is decided.
The only that seems really unfair for res. is the speed challenge. Maybe we can add an arbitrarily decided amount/res. to the time for that one.

Whenever the game crashes it gives you a resurrect, killing transcendence.exe shouldn't be different.

So long? It's taken less than a second on every computer I've ever had to use.

It takes a bit for the application to go away, the process vanishes from the list when the monitor resets.

OK then.
I changed the rules so that ressurects can count.

I started a new section at the bottom for Modded Challenges and posted PlayMeNow's score.

Give me links to the mods when you post scores, so I can link to the mods in the score list.
Right now I need links to the Wolfen 2 and the Fleets mods.

I'll try out for the reactor challenges. I'll use only 150 Watts to beat the game in Sapphire mode.

<Score name="student" shipClass="Sapphire-class yacht" genome="1" score="101730" epitaph="self-destructed in the Gehenna System" time="5 hours and 56 minutes" resurrectCount="0" debug="0"/>

Sapphire 150 Megawatt Challenge. I've done too many errors.

A.Get blown up trying to flee slaves. Will not do again.
B. Not getting proper equips for mid-systems.
C. Leaving mule autons at St. Katherine System. Will bring next time.
D. Not following unknown barrel procedure in a system that can kill me in seconds.

*note, I used insurance twice, and got fed up and self destructed. =)

Best things about this time:
First attempt in a long while.
Gained a mule and battle auton early on
Easy early systems.

<Score name="Predefined User"	shipClass="EI500-class freighter"	genome="1"	score="787610"	epitaph="ran out of fuel in the Heretic System"	time="2 days and 14 hours"	resurrectCount="0"	debug="0"/>
Freighter w/ 150 MW reactor challenge; Enhanced to 180 MW with Helio-fuel...That legal?

Lucked out with finding an X-ray laser early game, collimator and enhanced +150 via laser enhancers and longzhu's. Believe it or not, that rig will take down Ranx Dreads!!! :shock:
Got a Mark V Howie with several TP ordered thermo enhancers and rounded out the boat with an enhanced +100 Invincible class shield, ICX and Holocroal armor hit with regen barrels. That was my rig all the way up to the last system before Heretic, where I swapped the X-ray for a QAC, enhanced +Fast.
Beat the big guy but had used up all my fuel and couldn't make it back to the previous system in time. :oops:

Where have you been FAD?
I fried my machine and just built a new one. I'm still reinstalling stuff and having some trouble with a few 3d apps.
It's a killer set-up and I was able to salvage parts from the fried one, take some others from a donated machine, and rig up another render slave.
I have 38.26Ghz processing power and 5.25TB of storage now. :lol:
