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.

Blockade Runner

Some sort of Minecraft game based in space , looks like it has some interesting ideas.

Here’s the blur from the site.

Quote:
Inspired by Infiniminer and Minecraft’s voxel engine, Blockade Runner is the beginning of a Multiplayer First Person Adventure Space Sim that will feature fully destructible, operational, crewable 'living' starships in a procedurally generated galaxy.

If the fuel tanks are punctured, liquid fuel will flood the halls. If the wall gets hit by a torpedo, oxygen will get vacuumed into space. Ship lasered in half? Pray that you're on the better half. Every part of your starship will matter.

F.AQ. about the game.

If they stick to the once a year release schedule and give pre-order discount it doesn't seem that bad to pay $10. And the free version is 4-6wks behind the paid version so eventually you will be able to play the newer versions it seems. But I do like some of the ideas they are planning.

hey no fair, i had this idea way before......!

soh_concept_destroyable_blocks_by_xxvectorzeroxx-d366bbg.png

i was working on this for a game called Shores of Hazeron. it was eventually dropped because it was far too complex to code, and would have been a large strain on server recources... 🙁 ...wait a second... im getting to see a game concept i wanted to see for a long time, and i dont have to be the one to code it? heeeellll yeeeaaah

looks interesting though, im going to check it out when i get the chance
