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.

One thousand starships, my starship and SF design blog

Hello all,

 

I have started a Blog about starship and science-fiction design. Its a mix of spaceships, aliens, robots and other things I design with game development  in mind (either boardgames or videogames). If you want to have a peek, its there:

http://1000starships.blogspot.gr/

 

If you like what you see and want to make a space game, drop me a (quantum) line !

 

 

Meanwhile, here are a few excerpts from the blog (parental warning, some ships might seem phallic to the average sick mind) :

Nice blog Pavlosg 😎

 

Like the Korolev shuttle, will we be seeing it in the game.

Thank you Pinback !

 

well, I was thinking that the Korolev was pretty much a civilian design: I have trouble picturing it fighting between the stars. I planned on using it around space stations and such, on automatic transits -that is, plain traffic.

Nice designs indeed.

 

Usually civilian ships have round noses 😛 (jk)

Hey guys

 

thank you Pyros, MPL3D and dark one ! I am very glad you like the designs, more are on the way.

 

What would you say, though: should I post more about spaceships or try to keep a diversity (mechs, aliens and stuff) ?

 

P.

 

PS: Pyros, yes, you have a point, the design of the Korolev is a bit aggressive. Still, many designs of hypersonic aircraft to have flat noses (like the X-43A/B/C and X-51).

Thank you very much auryx ! (blush)

 

I'll try and keep the posts flowing, although I have to sacrifice my sleep for it !!

Leave comments on the blog, and tell me what you prefer -maybe there is too much blabla, or not enough ?

 

 

 

 

PS:@pinback: I was thinking of making a martian metal octopus attack the steampunk ship, in an animation !

Hey pavlosg, this is a great looking blog.

 

It sounds like the submissions are from anywhere? Or are they all made by you as a portfolio?

Great either way!

Hey Nevil,

 

Ceres has gained enough momentum to proceed forward at the present. Great things are in store for Ceres !

Hahaha yes Pinback,

 

    I love this guy -this ship owes indeed a lot to Mister's Foss designs (ah, all my youth, him and others like Peter Elson). The hommage does not go un-named though (From the blog entry "The type 56 'Chris Foss' block 22 heavy puller is a rather unusual member of the type 40-60 Luzhou/Guarapuava family.").

 

 

More details on the ship's post here ...

 

take care !
