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.

Hello everyone,

I just discovered this site and looking forward to browsing though all the games. I am a big fan of Orbiter, and I like really good games too. I have not played a good Sci-fi game in a while. I was mostly old school from the Wing Commader seriess to Independence War. Every game since, I readily got bored as it seemed to be the same old formula of either space battles or trading.

One of the games that I really got into, was the Battlecrusier AD series. I was really into the ship management and open gameplay.

What I really, really, really want from a game, is the ability to roam about my own ship in first person. I am tired of playing the games just from the cockpit perspective. I want to roam to engineering and tweak the engine outputs, or go to the hanger and take a ighter or shuttle for a flight while orbiting a planet, or dock with another ship and roam around that ship.

Anybody have suggestions? If there is not a game like this yet, is the a bandwagon I can hop on to encourage developers to create such a game?

Thanks again.

Hi dnbrice and welcome to SSC

Off the top of my head some current games coming do not have these features, but here is a project that has some promise: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2027#p18621

Hi dnbrice

Indeed welcome to the SSC 🙂

Yes that was a good suggestion by Darkone, another one might want to ad your voice to could be this viewtopic.php?f=47&t=2035 for an appeal for a Sundog re-make.

There is also The Precursors (needs patching and they are to be found in the download area) and Parkan 2. Both of these have been released and finally Salvation Prophecy. That last one is still being worked on.
