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.

Air suppression mode, still hoping they will do a space one at some point.

I really can't for the life of me understand why they can't expand the vehicular part of this game to be a full-fledged space sim like X-Wing or TIE Fighter.  (Or better yet, make one of those games INSTEAD.)  I know that's a big ask, but with all that they already have, wouldn't it be a tiny fraction of their total development time?  We're mainly talking about shields with zones, power allocation and some significant time and thought tuning ship speed and maneuverability.  (Granted, maybe map size is by far the biggest limitation.)  I know, I know, it's a lot of work, but wouldn't it vastly expand the appeal of their game?  (It would certainly move me from "mildly excited" to "absolutely thrilled".)  It's hard for me to accept that EA can make more money by making the ships blah and boring than making them interesting.

 

I just don't understand big publishers.  Sure, they want to also market to 12-year-olds, but when I was a 12-year-old I wanted all the same cool stuff I want as an adult.  Perhaps today's 12-year-olds have a femtosecond attention span, or have all simply been smashed in the face with a shovel.  One of those things might explain what's happening.

Pretty sure it will be coming out on PC.

 

If it will be any good on PC is another matter given that their have been some disasters with console ports to the PC games lately.

It's almost on rails. I'll bet if you set of in a direction you'll be put back on the "track" again.
