The Goddess Domina calls you to join her in the galactic core, home of the gods. Thus, you left your life behind and try to reach it. Of course, between you and the core, dozens and dozens of [[Space Pirate|pirates]], slavers, genetically-engineered humans, and other stuff are [[Everything Trying to Kill You|waiting to kill you]].

Can be found [http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence here]. While entirely playable and winnable, the game is still unfinished, ending about halfway through the planned storyline as the player leaves human space.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]]: The game would be completely unplayable if the game used realistic physics (invisible lasers, relativity, among other problems).
* [[
** A certain class of Auton will also malfunction when used and turn on its owner.
* [[Arbitrary Maximum Range]]: Played straight, but with good reason: friendly fire is always on, so it's better to have this than if you accidentally destroy a friendly station that is half a system away, getting you more enemies.
Line 38:
* [[Earth That Used to Be Better]]: Earth was (partially) destroyed when Syrtis Conclave suddenly decided to annihilate Earth. Mars was turned into a radioactive charred husk of a world. Earth is mostly better now.
* [[Escape Pod]]: Never seen, but mentioned by certain characters.
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: Take a look at [http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/wiki/_media/allships.jpg?w=&h=&cache=cache this] picture (spoiler, though). See the names in red? They're all trying to kill you, the one in white will turn against you if you so much as land a shot on them, and the ones in green and yellow can be turned against you if you shoot them enough. If you piss off the friendly or neutral factions, then ''literally every ship in the game will shoot on sight''.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The Wind Slaver and the Anarchist battlepods are insanely fast and can out-turn almost every other ship in the game, but they will fall apart if you sneeze on them even with low-level weaponry.
* [[Game Mod]]: The game supports making modding a very simple process, easy to do; the developer even goes out of his way to make the game more modifiable! This has resulted in a spectrum of mods exhibiting various tropes (primarily quality-related ones)
Line 46:
* [[Global Currency Exception]]: Get out far enough, and you will encounter genetic-engineered humans that don't accept credits, but use Rins instead.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Fabricators. Getting the most out of them is all-but impossible without either script-diving or reading spoilers.
* [[I Fought the Law and
* [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]]: The alien technologies of the Iocrym, Ancient Races, Domina and Oracus are all used in this manner.
* [[Infinity-1 Sword]]: The IM90 Multitarget Cannon and Iocrym Fracture Cannon appear to be favourites among seasoned players because they can at least be bought in the last few systems with thousands of rin.
Line 81:
* [[The Many Deaths of You]]: In spades, including: dying in a dead spaceship because you ran out of fuel, being murdered by a criminal mastermind, being executed, being frozen, dying in a range of horrific medical experiments, and the rather charming experience of being eaten alive by a tentacled horror.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: The effect of one of the three halo gems.
* [[Took a Level
** Inverted with Kate Morgental, where she goes from having an absurdly over-powered ship (at least for that level) to a ship without a single weapon on it.
** Some [[Game Mod|mods]] also allow wingmen and autons to do this. [[Game Mod|TX2]] does this with a few factions.
