To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi,
after a long time, I really have enjoyed playing again FFE, although I just took 30 minutes to take a look at in FFED3D. The grafics are really eye-candy compared to the DOS version. Congrats 😛
Suggestion:
If only the combat part could be changed !! I still have to cheat when starting a combat, hitting ESC (pause), turning my ship towards the enemy, selecting the ship, ..., and only then I have a decent change to escape destruction and fight 😀
A simple W A S D implementation or commands with the mouse would be fine, I know JJFFE has added some keyboard commands, but controlling the ship during a combat is still like tossing a coin to see if you survive... Happened to me to be shot down 3 seconds after pirates appear (In Frontier II you would see that RIP picutre soon after, I remember that too well....)
Greets,

I don’t think the game is being worked on at the moment by the guys on the Elite games forum http://www.elite-games.ru/
haven’t check up in a while.
Although there was a rumor that they were porting it to new language.
Yes the Newtonian flight model can take a bit of getting used to, however here is a link to some handy tips that DraQ gave on the Frontier Forum that might help you. DraQ's post is number 5
