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.

Howdy victims fellow space travellers,

 

I've played I-War 2 since I was seven, in 2005. I am probably the most knowledgeable person regarding that game still active anywhere, as well as the best pilot in that game period. Although others do know more or were better once, they have been dealt with had to deal with that strange and cumbersome phenomenon known as Real Life. I am exempt from any such obligations, and therefore am free to empty your hold hang out with you.

More recently, although still years ago, I picked up the Freespace games (sadly, in a legitimate manner.) Such beams... many pewpew... very boom... wow. In the last year, I've played the obligatory I-War 2 story runthrough like five times, and racked up over 800 hours in Elite Dangerous since I got it in May or June of 2015. Oh, and I played that Diaspora thingy a few times. Now I just wish I could figure out how to get the bloody FSOpen thing to work...

I will now migrate over to the I-War 2 section, and start a new thread there as well, where one may ask me any questions concerning the game for everything they own absolutely free. I've modded the game for years as well as played it, and dissected it to a stupid extent in several attempts to work around the engine limitations. (Turns out what I thought was preliminary work on I-War 3 was actually just an incomplete graphics patch for I-War 2.) 

 

Cheers,

Thanks! 😀

 

Now that I've gotten the mandatory muhaha Iamsopiratearrrr out of the way, I think I should tell you people more about myself. I'm an 18 year-old lazybones living in the almost uninhabitable desert in which Phoenix, AZ is located. Space games are my favorite type, with I-War 2 my favorite among them, although I'll take any game that's a pain in the butt to learn and has whopping huge kabooms. I'm taking a path into a game dev career, mostly because I got peeved by the limits of the I-War 2 engine in terms of modding and then discovered the amazing laziness aid that is Unity3D. The project I'm farthest on is a horribly optimized but annoyingly fun pinball game that I hope to release next year. Another project is an unofficial I-War 2 remake, set up so it won't work without a valid install of the original game. Another project is my own space game, which likely will be too hard for even me to finish, let alone anybody else, but who cares, I'm making it for teh lulz. B) Assorted other projects in various stages ranging from "prototype" to "eh, sounds like a cool idea" are a train defense game, a WW2 RTS, a futuristic city builder, a WW2 Warships game sorta like WoWs, and a pathetic little 2D game sorta like Ring Runner that I made for a contest, but turned out to be so fun that now the judges aren't shutting up with their requests for moar. :V

 

I like sandwiches, root beer floats, and ducks. Quack quack!

 

You can earn my everlasting friendship by purchasing for me every space game on the planet. Partial friendship points for just one.

Yup, I'm kidding. I doesn't has friends on Internet. :p Too anonymous.
