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 remember this site from a while back but never registered. Lately It's been a daily stop. Love the site, keep up the great work.
I'm 35 and I am addicted to space sims. I have been since the original wing commander and privateer. I never had a C64 so I missed out on some great ones. Others that are noteworthy in no particular order:
WC series
Tie Fighter
Priv 1 & 2
Freelancer
Starlancer
Freespace 1 & 2
Archemedian Dynasty (technically not space but still awesome atmosphere)
IWar
IWar EoC (one of my favorites)
Star Wolves 1-3
Homeworld 1 & 2
Star Fury
Parkan 2
Starfleet Command 1-3
ST online for a while
HardWar (also a favorite for atmosphere)
Starshatter
Tachyon the Fringe
Terminus
X series (want to love it more but the combat never feels quite right but amazing games)
Star control 2 🙂
...more recently...
Evochron Mercenaries (really starting to look and feel great, might be worth buying track ir for)
Starpoint Gemini
Precursors (fun game with some space sim elements)
I know there are many others I am forgetting. Although not space simes I have to mention the Mechwarrior series (from the very first one)and the Earthsiege/Starsiege series (the mech game, not Tribes) for taking countless hours of my life willingly away from me. This isn't even getting into console/handheld games (like Infinite Space). I'm also a huge WH40k junkie.
Also I much prefer a good SP experience to a MMO though I did enjoy ST online for a bit.
Again this a a great resource for a niche market with some wonferful gems.
Ok, that's my intro. I'm off to cruise the void some more.
