I'll sometimes put a ship called "nothing" into a mission if I need it to be destroyed or depart when it probably shouldn't, eg. if Ineed a shp to fire at anpther ship and miss, I'll sneak in "Nothing" behind it and have the ship target that instead. That way, when you look at the event log it says "nothing was destroyed by SD Lucifer" or whatever.

Well to tell you the truth, I played Transcend first and I kinda understood the storyline. I just finished Sync and I don't even know what the hell just happened. 

I think I can help you on one major point...

Spoiler:

The red nebula at the end is Capella post-supernova.  The Shivans use Sync to go through the collapsed node, thus dooming the GTVA.

Well that was depressing

[Game_Master64]

problem with your theory nuclear, kind of,

Spoiler:

Except the capella nebula would have taken centuries to cool down enough that your ship wouldn't melt the second you came out of subspace

[Snail]

Yes, Game Master, but:

Spoiler:

Who ****ing cares? :P

[Game_Master64]

very good point

[Vasudan Commander]

Whats the difference between the current nebula in Capella and the nebula in Gamma Draconis? Sure the explosion melted away anything in the system, but since thats receeded, wouldn't it be safe to enter it? (Aside from EMP scrambling)

[Snail]

The nebula beyond Gamma Draconis happened to have nova'd up 8,000 years ago.

[Game_Master64]

there by giving it the aformentioned centuries to cool

[Snail]

Don't you mean millennia?

[Nuclear1]

there by giving it the aformentioned centuries to cool

Spoiler:

Or it could have been that funky Ikeya nebula that it's in the first Sync mission.  Who knows?  The node did collapse when the corvettes tried to go through, so it could have been that one.

[Vasudan Commander]

Regardless i found Transcend to be very original and a definate thriller mod, almost reminiscent of aliens. (In space, no-one can hear you scream!  )


Well done Transcend team! 

[Dark Hunter]

AFAIK, there was no "team", and was all Ransom Archein (I'm sure I spelled that wrong...).

But yes, I agree, Ransom, excellent. Looking forward to future releases!

ONE GUY!?!    

Wow. now THAT is impressive.

[Stormkeeper]

Yea, Transcend/Sync done by a single person. Awesome use of sexp, imo.

[Vasudan Commander]

Not just that, awesome imagination and creation. I was under the impression that being such a large campaign it was done by a few people.

Man that must've taken ages to do

Not really.  If you look at Sync or Transcend's missions, not many of them are particularly complicated.  You just sort of ignore that for the fact that the story is so gripping.

They seem quite complicated to me. Something i can't understand is how the hell he made the HUD disappear and the pegasus move around like that, and do that whole 'rewind' thing at the end. Thats beyond me.

The rewind is simply a screen-capture of the entire campaign played through, and then reversed.  It's not rendered in-game.

As for the HUD disappearing and the shifting around... that's creative use of SEXPs =)

[Dark Hunter]

There is a hud-disable SEXP, pretty simple to use, and the Pegasi were following waypoints, I believe. Very precisely placed waypoints.

[Vasudan Commander]

Still pretty damn impressive that he used such basic SEXP's to that effect to create a campaign that seemed quite complicated at first impressions. I take my hat off to you sir!!
