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.

During my hours of selective searching I found a couple space combat and arcade type games some people may want to try. I have uploaded them to the download area. These are freeware so they may not have the polish you are looking for and some are a few years old but who knows it could give you a few hours of enjoyment 🙂

Space Fighter X11 - OTS Software
Website: http://www.otssoftware.com
Released: 2008
Version: 1.0
Download: Space Fighter X11
A 3D Space shooter made with 3D gamemaker
Space Fighter X11 is a 3D, 3rd Person Space Game. Your mission is to investigate rumors of an attack by the Wymacet Horde on one of our glactic exploration stations. Be careful because the Wymacet Horde always travels in large numbers and Red Giant sun in this region makes their ships difficult to see. Use your arrow keys to ascend/descend and your mouse for direction and firing. When you destroy a ship, you are able to pick up it's energy core to add energy or lives to your ship. In addition, the energy rings will provide an energy core when destoyed. However, if you hit them before they are destroyed, they will drain your energy. To win, you must destroy the Horde's mobile star base.
Controls:
Space = Start game
Mouse = Steer
Up/down arrows = Descend / Climb
Left mouse = Fire
Right mouse = Accelerate
Esc = Exit game

I contacted the author of FurtherTime (Maxim Vorsobine) and asked on the future of FT and here is what he wrote:
Unfortunately I had no free time to implement new features. Frankly I'm very upset because of this, since some of the features and new ideas were implemented and tested in 2004-2006. This year I started development of the new version. I think in a month or two I'll update the FT web site with some info and probably demo, I hope.
Well keep your eyes out and see what the new FurtherTime will be like. Remember to check his website for more info: http://www.furthertime.com/

Site is dead 🙁
Shame, because the new furthertime (v1.2) was looking pretty good.
