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.

Will give it a try, if only for "DeltaV" in the name ! 😀
The effects look really good in this game, especially for from a top down view. I haven't bought basically any top-down space games in a very long time I have been waiting on Starsector to complete because I think that game is a complete game ( http://fractalsoftworks.com/). What this game has going for it is the fact it looks well done and the price is reasonable and if there is modding and the developer continues to update it for a while it could have a shot 🙂
Kinda forgot about this game, looking at their page now and there has been a lot of developments since 2019. Not a bad price also its at $9
Looks like this game has finally been released on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/846030/V_Rings_of_Saturn/
