Transcendence 1.3 Release Candidate 2 is ready for testing!

Thanks to all the feedback on RC 1, particularly on the Benedict missions, I've made many bug fixes. Please test it out and let me know about any showstoppers.

Game Balance & UI

  • All settings written out to Settings.xml.
  • Highlight quoted sections in dock screens.
