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.

Is there any guide to this game?

I have a noob question...

Is there any guide to this game, like a description of available equipment and how you use it. Little walkthrough on mining and such.

Yea I did went through all that, it was helpful but what I'm trying to find out is: radar mapper - what is it for and how do u use it, how do u mine and where, how do you join a fraction etc. None of that is covered in the wiki. Thanks for the response tho.

Radar mapper: click on a ship, and you'll get some info about it displayed in the top-right of screen.

Mining: Equip mining laser, fuel scoop and cargo scoop. Go shoot an asteroid and collect the bits that fall off.

Factions: You can't join one yet.

All of these things are work-in-progress.

There's a work in progress, unpublished manual on the wiki. It briefly covers some of the UI right now, but it grows. And after that, my next goal is to write more indepth and specific tutorials. http://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/Pioneer_Wiki/manual

And while we are at it, if you, or anybody else has other questions regarding playing Pioneer, or this manual, please ask it. That helps a lot in writing these things, if I know what stuff needs what level of elaboration.

Thank you very much for the answers. I really enjoy the game so far.

When it comes to equipment I found this http://pioneerspacesim.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24&p=1684 It may be a really good idea, It doesn't need all the fancy drag and drop or pointers to the ship model but the short descriptions would make a whole lot of difference. Yesterday I was messing with weapons but it's a lil hard cause there is no way to know what damage they do, what's the optimal range, etc.
