Overview
The setting "stick_transparency" allows one to set the degree of transparency for stick objects, independent of all other objects. Allowable values range from 0 (fully opaque) to 1 (fully transparent, i.e. invisible).
Usage
set stick_transparency, F, selection
where F is a floating point number in the range [0.0 - 1.0], where selection is the selected surface to apply the change to (for examples, see below).
For the value of F, 1.0 will be an invisible and 0.0 a completely solid surface.
if selection is omitted, then the transparency of all stick representations will be changed.
Examples
set stick_transparency, 0.50 # Makes sticks 50-percent transparent

sticks with no transparency
sticks with 0.5 transparency
sticks with 0.9 transparency
Note
Stick transparency works best with "unilayer" transparency (Setting menu > transparency > Unilayer) rather than "multilayer", which leads to odd artifacts where the sticks join.
sticks with 0.5 transparency and multilayer transparency
