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 never grew up Lew 😆 , I still have that A500+ and it still works too! It's my favourite out of all my "Miggys" 🙂

No kidding... lights go out and end of video 🙁 And we need to get back to what was on the planet in ep9 🙂 Lew82 how many episodes will be in Prelude to Darkness?
We're going back to the planet at the beginning of Episode 11 - we'll see some more there. I would guesstimate (based on my script) that we are about 40-50% through the story, so perhaps 22-26 parts in total I imagine. And Prelude to Darkness as a whole is a Part 1 of 3, so there's a lot more story to tell 😀 I'm really glad you're enjoying it thus far. thanks for all the kind words.
A big Babylon 5 type story arc? Sounds great! 🙂
Great episode Lew82,bit strange using miles in space, would not Au or light minutes have sounded more scifi.
Good point there Pinback. May I suggest "Clicks" or "MSKs" (measurement used in the series Space Above And Beyond)
I imagine they would use the AU measurement for long distances, however when things would be closer - such as sabre squadron's distance to the fleet - they'd revert to miles - they use the imperial measurement system hehe imperial union/imperial system 😉
Good answer Lew82 😀
I decided to release Part 11 now and Part 12 (containing nothing more than a space battle) in a week's time.
Hope you like it.
Another excellent epsoide Lew82 with classic cliff hanging ending. 😀
Ah there you are lew82, was wondering when your next instalment would arrive. Great stuff and well done again! 🙂
Always has to end when its getting good 🙂
Great job as always lew82!
Thanks everyone for the praise, I'm glad you are enjoying the series and still following it. Part 12 is now here featuring 'The First Battle of Toyr'diablo'
Hope you like it.
Fantastic Lew82. 🙂 I like how you captured the confusion of battle in this episode 😎
Awesome, 😀 see a few characters getting bump off or will they be back.
They all should have stayed 🙁 They lost more cap ships in the retreat than in the fighting it seems 🙂
But that ship going to warp right through that other cap ship was classic. Probably the best you have done so far lew82, lots of action in this one.
Thanks for the kinds words - they mean heaps to me.
As I now have alot more footage I am able to finally make a full trailer, rather than the short teasers which contained only footage from Part 1.
Hope you like it.

As well as the trailer, also put together a movie poster for Frontier - interested to hear any feedback - it's it good or sucks?
The only things I can think off is maybe moving the "A NEW FRONTIER"so its more central and who or what is Wexler pointing the gun at.
Thanks Pinback, might do that, maybe centre it all on the next one, Wexler pointing the gun is just to really symbolise that he's menacing and bad.
Check the news at Lew82 site as he says the next episode the characters will be in 3d,should be good 😀 always found the 2d/3d mix a little jarring but got use to it after a couple the episodes.
I would agree to center the text in the poster lew82, another thought depending on where the video is advertised you might want to add a rating system to it because the videos do on occasion have some language that shouldn't be heard by the smaller kiddies 🙂
Hi Pinback, bad news about the 3d characters, they've been postponed until Frontier 2 - as my processor probably wont be able to handle it, also had some issues with rigging which will be addressed when I attend animation school next year.
So for now, it's gonna remain 2d/3d hybrid :S.
Hi Darkone, definately agree with you there, I may start putting an M Rating on my information for Chapters, I'm a bit torn on this one actually - the cartoon characters (which I'm sort of stuck with for this movie) make it feel like it should be PG at worst, however I really hate the idea of sacrificing edgyness and grit - so a bit of a quagmire. But yeah an rating system would be a very good idea. It would be nice if youtube had this option :S.
Lew
Part 13 Released, I hope you like it 🙂
Hi Lew82 🙂
Great to see another completed episode, great shot of the ship going down. There are other great bits too, but I wont spoil it for those who have not seen it yet.
