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.

Which is the last Space/SciFi game you played before reading this post?
For me it is Mass Effect 3. My current playtime is a bit more than 4 hours and until now it feels like ME2.
Same here, last game played is Mass Effect 3. But that was quite a few days ago, yet my soul and morale are still shattered due to the ending. :ugeek:

I am not a ME fan girl, honest <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_redface.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':oops:' />
Right, thats it, am off for a decent FE2 session on the Miggy tonight to make up for it <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_evil.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':evil:' /> Me and The J Miner's Revenge are going to do some Imperial Courier bothering! <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_twisted.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':twisted:' />
Still playing Dangerous when I get the time.
At least it not something with an X in the title. π
I got a hankering to play Mercenary again, may dig out the Amiga this weekend and have a go.
Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn
LOL,
ME3 - Played a bit of that today.
Star Wars: The Old Republic - Logged in just to grab some gear.
X3 TC - Picked this up on Steam recently at a reasonable price, always loved the X Universe.

Do you know when it will it be ready for general release? Think I would like a go at that <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
Was playing Krater (Awesome game btw) and yeah not in space but post-apocalyptic and has a Swedish theme to the game, definitely original.

Yep, that's the one - the test version has been pulled pending the imminent release version, so soon.
Alien breed trilogy, not a ship game but still set in space.
being happily killing breed the last couple of days, but now stuck where you have cross between ships.

Galactic Civilizations 2
To this day I have never been able to fully grasp the mechanics of a Space 4x game enough to have fun with them. Which is odd, considering I love the Civilization series.
I've tried:
Master of Orion 2 (Got the farthest with this one. Really intuitive and simple mechanics)
Sins of a Solar Empire (perhaps not 4x. I prefer turn based to real-time)
Sword of the Stars (I REALLY wanted to like this one.. but.. the documentation was pretty subpar.)
GalCiv might be the 'one' we will see.
FE2 on the A4000. <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//cool.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cool:' />
A tough session, was doing a photo recon mission for the feds and took a hit in the cargo bay destroying my fuel for the jump out of there. Damned base defenders (plus Imperial Police <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_crazy.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlcrazy:' /> <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//haha.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':haha:' /> ) chased me all the way across Facece! A real furball! Thankfully made it to the nearest gas giant to gather up hydrogen and get the hell out <img src="' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//queen.gi f"' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':queen:' /> Must get the old "J Miner" serviced when I get to Beta Hydri, my hyperdrive is just about clapped out.
Starshatter:The Gathering Storm
Salutations,
I've recently looked into the old Sid Meir's Alpha Centauri game and I really like it except for the dated graphics.
Is there a newer game out there that even comes close to Alpha Centauri's game play quality but with nicer graphics? Thanks.

Don't know myself as I don't play these 4x games have a look at Adam Solo "Space Sector blog" http://www.spacesector.com/blog/ as tends to cover these sorts games, if no ones has any recommendation.
Y'know wdboyd's comment got me thinking as to why, with all the updates there has been to Civilization over the years that Sid never considered doing Alpha Centauri again? Even as an add-on for Civilization it could have been good.
Come to think about it did not someone do a fan remake of this game.
You could have a look at this Civ IV Beyond The Sword mod?
