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.

Hello, I'm new to Pioneer and games in general. I have several questions:
1. Are there any extremely in-depth fighting, flight, landing, and equipment tutorials?
2. Are there any mod tutorials consisting of, but not limited to, an easy-to-understand (<- Optionally) API reference (Ex: Make a ship (model), auto-fighting, etc.)
3. Are there any other things I should know? Like, what does the ECM do?
You could look at the wiki: http://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/Pioneer_Wiki
There are some basic tutorials and informations.
You could also search for some videos on youtube. There's a "Let's play" series from bchimself and some videos from Brian Ronald that I found useful to figure out how to deal with the in game physics.
ECM is useful to interfere with missiles.
You liked my videos? Cool!
EquitemTotum: Unfortunately for the dissemination of information, Pioneer changes very quickly indeed. Pretty much everything you listed in your question has either changed recently, or is likely to change soon.
