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.

I do not know if a topic has been posted before about this game (none have been since june somewhere) so here goes.
I must say it's a very well-playable, enjoyable and polished game (sadly that's rare at release). But neg's are mostly that it lacks much of the SMAC atmosphere.
Anyone else managed to play this one?

Wasn't that like the #1 reason to play Alpha Centauri?
So what are the positives?
Warfare is very fun. Resource and city management is too. And it has a very neat UI. And it has an AI which does its job well and doesn't rape your CPU like civ 5's does.
Just started this one yesterday. While I liked Alpha Centauri, Pandora looks so much better and doesn't hurt my eyes when playing a long session. Pandora simplifies a few things, but not all that much and, besides, some of the simplifications make the game more playable in my opinion. Let's see how I feel after a week or so...
I love it's neat UI, and while many mechanics are simplified, in the scope of this game it works neatly.
Hence my biggest neg for the game is that it doesn't catch the SMAC atmosphere 😛
