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,
I didn't see this great game being listed at all on SSC, so I couldn't leave it like this.
I'd like to point your attention to a great Space Combat (and FPS).
It's called Eternal Silence and available on Steam(!!!).
It has an active community and it's still being actively developed. The developers are listening to what the community wants and new maps are being created. This game (which is a mod for HL2) strikes a great balance between space combat sim and infantry combat.
Eternal Silence features the following:
Cinematic Battles between Capital Ships on battlefields as large as 32768 cubic kilometers
Choose between ataining victory on foot by capturing the enemy's subsystems, or be a pilot and bomb vital systems from space.
Fast and Furious dogfights between Fighters and other Tactical Craft in deep space. Escort you gunships to deliver a squad of marines to the enemy hangar.
A True Space Experience. Cut your ship's engines and drift in the frictionless void of space.
Action-Packed ground battles. Seize decks of your enemy’s ship, controlling or disabling their shields, weapons... Fight off the enemy and work as a team, fulfilling the role of one of many classes with an array of unique weapons at your disposal.
Achieve Victory by destroying the enemy capital ship inside and out.
A Complete Story behind the Eternal Silence universe, released chapter by chapter as a novella is available online
Here is a link to a video (don't mind the music, the video maker couldn't record the ingame sounds).
I just came in to second everything he just said and add this

and this an older trailer that shows a stuff not in the other one most importantly it has the in game sound and shows some of the other maps
Too bad it's multiplayer only. 🙁
K^2 one of the coders is currently making AI, the default HL2 AI is totally unsuitable for obvious reasons. First job for the AI is a tutorial but there is no reason it cant be taken further.
Looks like an amazing game,but I would also like to see a single player mode.
Maybe someone who has alot of time will create a SP. But at this moment they're lacking modellers and artists. So if anyone is interested 😉
Also this game is amazing in MP. Especially when playing 12vs12. The action is intense. Imagine a dropship flying into an enemy hangar with blazing guns filled with marines shooting everything they see. And when you jump out of the dropship bullets are flying around you and explosions from ION Canons, Grenade Launchers and exploding ships 😉
