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.

Just digging out another model I had tried ages ago and couldnt get working under LMR

Designed to be a NPC "drone" to replace / complement the "police" craft, or as a protection system for very large ships that cannot effectively defend themselves against pirates.
It is basically a 1MW laser, 2 missiles and 4 powerful engines held together with a bit of bodywork

I always thought that most space stations were too small to hold several fighter craft but dozens of these could be stored in the space of one large ship or even attached to the outside of the hull.

It is very small and fast, but only has a few minutes of fuel.
U know these could end up being deployable in remote areas, perhaps missions where a lone npc miner has dropped off a mining robot thingy that were in elite 3 and u could be tasked with destroying or collecting neuteal or enemy npc mining robots ( these could be randomly put in outlying systems) where a player could hack or steal them, they could have a random amount of these drones defending them * difficulty level for mission* or rarity of minerals being mined. Just an idea but they look cool and remote npc stations could have them to
