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.

Hi there,
I am curious about the current game state of playability.
Can you do all the things you could do in that "other" game?
Specifically piracy, working as a military pilot, mining, transporting people, trading goods, smuggling, bounty hunting, and maybe stuff that i missed.
Thank you
I've only discovered Pioneer over the last few days. Long term fan of Elite, and Pioneer does not disappoint. I haven't progressed too much thus far, but it's playable alright. The auto pilot crashes into things, which is frustrating. Also, trading can be frustrating as many planets export and import the same goods making trading a pain sometimes. Nevertheless, check it out for your self.
It's still very much a work-in-progress... but then it has been for the last couple of years 🙂
The piracy and military parts aren't really there at the moment, however transporting people, messages, trading, smuggling etc are mostly in.
There's also some mod's for Pioneer which add ships and other features. A lot of people recommend walterar's Scout+ mod.
Thank you for your replies 🙂
I witnessed the lack of piracy and military missions myself. But the other available content is amazing. I have to thank the pioneer team too for creating such a beautiful game.
Cheers
