Tachyons

Ever wanted to play FTL with your friends, as a team, in a coop multiplayer run?

Well basically Tachyon is a multiplayer version of FTL.

But with it's own engine, logic, mechanics and of course some additional features - like being able to leave your ship for example.

Also the game is made to be quite a bit mod-able, so you can create your own multiplayer adventures.

You can host your own local server for a private coop game with your friends. Or you can host an MMO server to roam around hundreds of thousands of sectors with other space pilots.

Tachyon is currently a WIP, so the amount of content is going to grow.

But at the same time all releases are very stable and contain minimal amount of bugs.

Version a0.8.21 - Release notes:

Features:

1. Added ip info to the server console /online command
2. Music files in the playlist.dat now can be marked to have a parallel transition between ambient and battle (like in FTL)
3. New door sounds for energy doors - (Thanks Arilou Lalee'lay)

Modding:

1.  In dialogues you can now have a player type in their reply.
   Example: <reply id="T3" text="[INPUT]Input your name." regex="^[a-zA-Z0-9 -]+$" next="Test125"/>
2. In the modify ship event remove_system_type and remove_system_model now completely remove the system from the ship.
   In order to simply uninstall a ships system into it's cargo hold you can now use uninstall_system_type and uninstall_system_model
3. If npc's dialogue message starts with [SKIP] then it won't be shown in the dialogue lines.
4. If a dialogue reply text ends with [AUTO] then that dialogue reply will be selected automatically.

Bug fixes:

1. Unable to move while in HS on-board ai ship.
2.  Ejecting a specific system type from cargo via modify ship event was ejecting everything.
3. Door control/shields/sensors and other system screens were broken in non default resolution.
4. Slaver ships were not fighting back
5. You can no longer hack a broken system

By default the game pack contains events configured to create a coop story mode universe. But several modders are working on an MMO mod. You can get more details on this on our Discord channel.

P.S.

Currently a Steam version of the game is being developed with it's own and better assets and more features.
