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 is the game randomly generated? or are the location of planets the same but different every time? or is it just a massive place the devs built? thanks for your help.

Randomly-generated from the same initial seed, so it looks the same on every run. Then on top of that there's some hardcoded stuff (eg our solar system, real-life bright stars, etc) to make it feel like the galaxy we know and love.

So, er, "Yes" is the answer. To all of those.
