[Had to split Part 5 into Part 5a and 5b; belatedly noticed that I had used different codecs and couldn't fuse the two together without spending another hour. Will upload Part 5b immediately after this.]

Transcendence is a 2.5D freeware sci-fi PC space trading game that runs along the lines of the Space Rogue, Elite, Eve Online, and the X (Beyond the Frontier, Terran Conflict, etc) series. Though weighing in at only a tiny 17MB, the game provides surprising deep gameplay for its size, letting players have free reign on what they want to do---play as a guardian of the myriad galactice enclaves; engage in trading, running supplies among the many space stations, and even become a bounty hunter.

Join me as I embark on my journey to the Galactic Core. I need all my luck as there are many threats the vastness of space harbors, chief among them a low YouTube viewer count.

I'll be posting a review of this game in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, here are my reviews of other free to play PC shooter games: http://imbacore.blogspot.com/search/label/Free%20FPS

Part 5: Where I respawned and discovered to my horror that all my loot was gone. Managed to buy the monopole shield generator though. In Part 6 - REVENGE!! I'm going back and take out the wing that took me out in Part 4.

Part 4: Where I died. Got overconfident of my near invincibility and took on a swarm of fighters and what looked to be a corvette. Before that gathered massive loot and installed a point-defense (anti-missile) system. I will not be honoring Permadeath and will continue this playthrough.


QUESTION:

How do I check what reactor is installed in my ship's bowels? A: On the upper left corner of the HUD, you can see its power output. No way to tell its Fuel Efficiency though.
