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.

What's your stance on it?
Me, I see it as an equaliser to an AI that can change it's focus instantly and give complex orders to many ships in practically no time.
It's also an opportunity to allow the manipulation of low level systems like the energy or shield settings on a particular ship. Configuration like that is pointless to have in the game when you can't stop time to delve into detail like that.
It simulates you having a staff of competent officers who are supposedly doing things like that.
I do like giving orders and manage things while paused. I agree on all you said and I would add that it makes the game more flexible allowing players to play at their own pace. Some may enjoy to heavily micromanage things and play something closer to a turn based system , some may enjoy to just let the game flow and feel the stress of trying to remain in control while lots of stuff is happening.
One things you guys haven't seen so much in the videos yet is that the player will be able to slow time as well as pause it (likely speed it up as well.)
Some of the bigger battle will have a lot going on, in real life multiple officers would be commanding the Flotilla so it seems only fair somehow 🙂
