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.

Hey Everyone
I cannot believe I didn't find this game sooner. UFO: Alien Invasion is an open source game that is themed after X-Com, it isn't a remake but a game like X-Com.
It is the year 2084. You control a secret organisation charged with defending Earth from a brutal alien enemy. Build up your bases, prepare your team, and dive head-first into the fast and flowing turn-based combat.
UFO: ALIEN INVASION is a squad-based tactical strategy game in the tradition of the old X-COM PC games, but with a twist. Our game combines military realism with hard science-fiction and the weirdness of an alien invasion. The carefully constructed turn-based system gives you pin-point control of your squad while maintaining a sense of pace and danger.
Over the long term you will need to conduct research into the alien threat to figure out their mysterious goals and use their powerful weapons for your own ends. You will produce unique items and use them in combat against your enemies. If you like, you can even use them against your friends with our multiplayer functionality.
There is two different modes of gameplay (Geoscape and Tactical). Geoscape game mode is all about management/strategy, so from a high level you deploy your units and engage the enemy. You will be able to build, produce or reseach anything in the game as long as you have the budget. Tactical game mode puts you in the action in that you control all the actions of your team in turn-based style gameplay.
So what are you waiting for download the game here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ufoai/files/
Or get the latest version via the SVN.
Let everyone know what you think about the game....?
Another one I will have to download at some point,always liked the xcom games. 🙂
Yeah I know, I will try and play around with this one during my Thanksgiving vacation if I'm not too busy. I might download the SVN to see the latest features and report back on this one. But I liked X-Com a lot and it was a shame they stopped making them. But this is another reason why open-source is a blessing.
I've played this last year & it's definately worth the install...
After watching this video and seeing some of the gameplay it looks really good and it has had a bunch of updates over the past year.
