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.

Crusader Kings in space?  Cross bred with Escape Velocity?  Professional social networking and dynamic reputation systems, with 200 years of procedural history inspired by Dwarf Fortress 'legend's mode'?

 

There has been some dazzling work done since the original topic on this game, and some shiny updates to the demo and graphics:

See this fine thread for development videos, and comments from the developer:  http://spacesimcentral.com/ssc/topic/4819-sol-trader/

 

Surprising emergent behaviors:

And a seriously nail-biting photo finish of a kickstarter!

Congrat Chrismdp :fans: look forward to see more of the game.

 

That the thing about Kickstarter, they often come good in the last few days especially for ones which are close to their target, what people have to remember is that they need to keep pumping out the updates and answering questions as it the only real means of communication between the developer and the backers of the game.
