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.

i have been doing well in Sol, i got a Deep Space Miner, i cannot figure out how to get to a spot to make a hyperspace jump without running out of fuel. help please.
You don't have to go anywhere to leave Sol, you just have to make sure that you have:
- a hyperdrive (you should by default),
- that you have the right kind of fuel for the hyperdrive (Hydrogen for normal, or military fuel for mulitary drive),
- that you have chosen a destination star system in the system select screen,
- press F2,
- use arrow keys to move highlight around or click on a star to pick it,
- the selected system will be listed on the left-hand side of the screen.
- once you're flying just press F7 or click the jump icon on the control panel (bottom-right)
You can still enter hyperspace whilst in atmosphere at the moment, when that is fixed then you will probably have to do something more complex but that's in the future 😉
Hope that helps,
Andy
i have 5 tons each, i have left earths atmosphere, i selected Proxima Centuri. (figured as good a test spot as any) and yet still i cannot get it to jump into hyperspace.
got it to finnally work a couple of times, i notes a sign saying 7t by ther system, and put two and two to gether to figure out thats how many tons of fuel i need to get there.
Glad you figured it out 🙂
The UI is in a constant state of overhaul but an ingame tutorial would probably be helpful to I guess.
