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.

Ran into this game a month or so ago, new version out recently. Prospector can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/rlprospector/

From the game's site:

"A roguelike in space

In an unexplored sector of space humanity is trying to establish a permanent presence. Megacorporations employ freelance prospectors to find exploitable resources and map unknown planets for them. The player commands one of those scoutships, trying to become filthy rich as a prospector. "

All ascii graphics, but quite a bit of depth.

Enjoy 😀

Added this game link to my next link page update thanks Songbird.

If Prospector has good game mechanics like Privateer: Ascii Sector then it will be something to try.
