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.

So far my favourite iphone space game has been Empire Ascendant
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/empire-ascendant/id363665310?mt=8
This game is a top down space combat where you only control one ship but in amazing detail.
For example, upgrades, power management, quadranted shields and lazers, and repairs

It does have a glitch which sometimes loses your save game, which can be a "little" annoying. But apart from that its almost flawless and a great game.
Vendetta Online is playable over mobile. I used to play on my Xperia PLAY, now on my Galaxy S3.

What's really cool is that I am interacting with people on PC, Mac, Ouya, etc. in the same galaxy. I can make some progress on my main character on my laptop, switch to my mobile as I'm falling asleep and pick right up where I left off, etc.
