Tachyon: The Fringe...any mods for this game?

Post by Shant »

The topic title says it, I want to play this game again but it has only been a few months since the last time I played through it so it will all be a little too familiar. Was hoping maybe there's a mod for this. Anybody know?

I don't think there is a mod for this game... but there are two campaigns in the game. Corporate thug and Pirate Raider

This game will always have a place on my hard drive. It's old perhaps, and often overlooked, but still has great playability. If I could mod one thing about this game, it would be to increase its maximum resolution, up from 1024x768 to more modern displays.

I think I would give it more missions, and maybe open up the universe a little more.. maybe make all the node-gates assessable after the main story has been completed. Maybe re-skin the models or something..I have never tried to figure if there is a way to mod Tachyon.. I'm sure it possible, but I wouldn't know where to start.

What'd you find over there, Geraldine? That's such a poorly designed site it was hard to spend enough time there to find anything.

I will try to get the mods and upload them here and if I remember correctly this will not be a mod it will be a standalone game so even better.
