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.

Talking of going after things in Oolite, I used to hunt bounty-hunters...
Â
With things as they are these days.....I oftentimes find myself listening to songs that were written in hard times gone by. It's funny, a song written in the early 20th century can still say so much about today. In every sense, a true classic.
Java Jive? Shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot!
How about Sixteen Tons - a 40s 'classic! I owe my soul to the company store!
As a bonus, have a Willie Nelson classic, with Emmylou Harris - she can sing. Saw her once at the Hammersmith Odeon - great gig!
Time for a cryin' song...
Frankie Miller is an old favourite of mine - man, what a voice!
Looks like we got us a high roller here!
I'll see your Ella Fitzgerald, and raise you Albert King...
Â
Georgia, eh? Rainy Night in Georgia, perhaps? Or maybe...
Damn it Cody! Fold! 🤣Â
<grabs the pot and hightails it down the road>
If I remember right, that song follows Venus In Furs on that album. They don't make em like that anymore.
Anyways onward ever onward!

If I remember right, that song follows Venus In Furs on that album.
Indeed it does! That album was years ahead of its time!
Oh And Cody? Remember this?
<chuckles> Oolite back then ('09) looks kinda primitive now. That's about the time I first stumbled across the game, having tried various AAA space games looking for that certain something. Oolite was full of bugs, but it had that old Elite feel and look.
As for Drew, Oolite (and his Oolite Saga) was his path to greater things. Official ED author now, I believe.
He did indeed but still, I miss those early, pre-Elite Dangerous, days on the Frontier Forum sometimes because people like Drew would occasionally post things like this....

A wee change of pace, here is one from Vangelis.
Slow... and yet slower. There's a lovely full moon out there tonight, so...
Â
Hope y'all got clear skies!
Hesperus is riding high in the western sky, so...
Whereas low in the pre-dawn eastern sky, you can see Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars, all lined up near the waning Moon.
And one of my favourite old albums is Kaleidoscope's A Beacon From Mars, so...
Â
Again, hope y'all got clear skies!
RIP Ronan O'Rahilly, the founder of Radio Caroline, which was one of the first off-shore pirate radio stations (broadcasting to the east of England in the mid-sixties). Radio Caroline had a huge effect on pop music radio broadcasting in the UK, putting the BBC to shame, and launched the careers of many DJs. I recall those days, as a kid listening on a cheap transistor radio, so well.

In a later incarnation, Radio Caroline used this as their theme music:
