Games-starts

Lost in Space:

While returning from a mission in the X-universe galaxy, your fleet of warships encounters a wormhole, landing you in a far-flung galaxy. Having no means of communication with the home system, your only hope is to explore this region of the universe in an attempt to find friends with whom you may develop alliance. Your fleet is scattered, and their fate is unknown. You must cross vast regions of space full of challenges at every turn!



Invasion:

This is the original Transcend I scenario adapted for Transcend II galaxy.

The Galaxy is in ruin. Commerce and trade between races has all but ceased and sector economies are collapsing. Key sectors have been lost to the Xenon, Kha'ak and Pirate factions. All the major allied Fleets are engaged in combat against an ever-increasing foe.

Terran High Council has decided that their historically isolationist policy must be set aside to avoid being engulfed by the chaos besetting the rest of the galaxy. You are the commander of a powerful Fleet of ships, with the perilous task of saving the galaxy from ruin.



Hunted:

This is for those who like a little more combat action in their game. After you destroy 2 Pirate ships, you will receive a warning from Pirate Headquarters. If you destroy 2 more Pirate ships, you had better run, because the hunt is on! They will chase you to the end of the galaxy and through the gates of hell. As you travel, you will find yourself with a growing "pack" of relentless Pirates after your head. You can run, but you cannot hide!

Are you tired of the familiar old galaxy? If you love X3, but want something new, you won't want to miss Transcend II!

Here are a few short clips from a larger video in process of being produced:

Mobile Fortress Super Carrier

M2 Hailstorm Destroyer docking externally to the rear of the Fortress, followed by M5 Dart docking internally. As the Dart approaches, you will notice docking arms capable of supporting a wide variety of craft including Freighters and other large ships up to M7 size. The Fortress can dock 4 M1/M2 Capital vessels.

Hailstorm M2 Destroyer

And while we are on the subject of docking, with mention of the Hailstorm Destroyer, here's another short video of the Hailstorm internal docking bay, and its famous "wheel turrets" in action - which can make mincemeat of any other battleship in the known universe:

Thanks you, Observe.

this mod is very very Interesting . I wish if is possible to have Transcend II for X3 and Transcend II for TC into the SuperBox collection

The Transcend's Galaxy is one of a kind, and this is ONLY a pre-release!

What we'll see in the "final" release??? Is a beautiful mind

Hi,

Keen to try this one!

Quick question...can I download the 100+ mb mod file outside of the installer?

Reason I ask is because my internet PC is separate from my gamer so I wanted to set things downloading here before transfering later.

Cheers,

Scoob.

Do you have a blow-by-blow picture+description of each ship? I'm a hard-to-win-over person when it comes to custom ships...

[killerog]

I don't think there is, best way to see the new models to try the mod for a short while.

Hello

I tried it last night to check out the ships.
Some are really nice. Some not so much (in my opinion). I'll stick with my current setup at the moment, but I'll be watching the mod to see where it goes.

[Yacek]

The installer is very good.
MOD very interesting, but still too early to express an opinion about him.
At this time, work on a translation into Polish.

[Scoob]

Hi Observe, Killerog,

Thanks for the response...I was going to try exactly that but XP's auto update was going screwy on this fairly recent build I I couldn't get the .net runtimes. It's playing ball again now so windows update is finally doing its thing.

Will be trying this out shortly-ish

Cheers,

Scoob.

@Scoob: Just so you know, you don't actually need to run the Installer setup program on your second (game) machine after installing it on your internet computer. You could just copy the whole Installer directory structure (along with the downloaded mod) over to your game computer, and run the installer executable from there.
