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.

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) :
hope you like the stuff,
have a grand day all!
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)
Great work!
Love the labeled one! Looks quite realistic to me 🙂
I really like that ground vehicle, not sure if its a science/exploration or strickly military?
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).
Keep the mixture, like the steampunk Dreadnought. 😎
Just been reading through the blog, pavlosg - pretty amazing stuff! Please keep it coming 🙂
You look good through a crosshair.
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!
Hello everybody !
My spaceship & Science-Fiction Design blog is once again active ! I post there pictures of the stuff I design in 3D or 2D. Pay me a visit if you want to see some starships, star bases, aliens or drone tanks -it's all in there ! I will add new stuff regularly.
I am currently free to join any PC space game project -send me a private message if you are interested !
take care all,
have a nice trip among the stars !

❓ ❓ and about Ceres ?? ❓ ❓
Hey Nevil,
Ceres has gained enough momentum to proceed forward at the present. Great things are in store for Ceres !
Looks a lot like a Chris Foss style of ship 😎

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 !
