====Re: <ListOptions>=====

i think you got it wrong with 
<code xml>
                <ListOptions
               dataFrom=   "player"
               list=      "*U"
               /></code>

note the close tag 

<code xml>
                <ListOptions
               dataFrom=   "player"
               list=      "*U"
                /  >
</code>
you shoulnd need the <code xml>  </ListOptions></code> since the / closes the tag after the data is read 

> I'm not with you here.  The original ListOptions in Tinkers.xml is 

   <ListOptions
      dataFrom=	"player"
      list=		"*U"
   />

> as shown.  The /> is needed because there is no </ListOptions>.

**examples** 
<code xml>
<RandomItem count="3d6" 
				criteria=		"aswd -NotForSale;"
				level=			"7"
				levelCurve=		"2"
				damaged=		"100"
				/>

<Station type="&stCommonwealthTurret;" imageVariant="2"/>
<Ship chance="10"	count="1" class="&scSapphireYacht;" orders="gateOnThreat"/></code>

And the <globals> can go anywhere in the file as long as they are inside <TranscendenceExtension>(here)</TranscendenceExtension>

oh and to overwrite vanilla items use the unid for them defined in the Transcendence.xml
