Transcendence is a 2.5D free to play 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 simple drifter running supplies among the many space stations; as a guardian of the myriad galactic enclaves; and even as a bounty hunter hunting down space outlaws.

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

QUESTIONS:

1. Is it worth replacing sheets of high-hp armor with low-hp ones that have higher resistances?

2. If you intend to complete all side quests (in a given sector) do new ones pop up? Is the quest system randomized?

3. If you do mine out a system (side quests, asteroids and all) and consequently jump up in terms of firepower and durability, would the game compensate?

4. If you make a mistake and rush things, would the game adjust the enemies encountered in later sectors or would this approach make the game unplayable in later sectors?
