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.

Hey DC - is it ten years now?

Hello captain! Yes the game has an FTL jump but personally I'm traveling the Infinite Coding Universe in a row boat 🚣‍♂️ 😂

I love what I'm seeing! Have you considered setting up a steam page? It can look intimidating but is worth it if you are releasing it on PC. The earlier a page gets put up the longer it has to accumulate wishlists (which are really useful when you launch), even if you're years away from release.

@classyk I'll have to inquire about this indeed. One topic in particular is whether I can do this as an individual and then transfer it to the company I'll need to set up for the release 🤔

Hello SSC!

Here's the latest dev log featuring the missions' system and the associated UI:

To sum-up the goal is to have an internal module generating "orbital police" tasks as a base for the career progression, and also to enable more complex missions and campaigns to be designed externally and then imported into the game.

Fly safe 🙂

Mission system is looking great, I kinda see a little of EVE Online in this type of mission flow with how this is setup. 👍

Hello Cody, I'll need a fix soon too but so far I've been able to manage with "corrective devices" 🧐
Take good care of yourself 😌

@aki Thanks! The issue with the UI is that I tend to use too much text fields and tables 😣 At least on that one the map naturally balances things and it was not too much work (I could reuse a dedicated renderer for the galaxy)

Hello D1, thanks for the info I'll look into this! 🔎 The layout is inspired from one of the testers who designed some missions and shared them in pdf format. And hopefully the underlying implementation should provide enough freedom for external contributors to define pretty advanced stuff.

Hello SSC,

Very quick update: to sum-up ASG can now import user-created missions. That's certainly a bit early but this should help developing the internal generator, and which is the main objective currently.

Nice, any plans to allow mods of the game.

That API could be an entry point actually: for instance it will very likely feature commands to spawn customizable NPC ships and other agents into the game.
