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.

Realistic means newtonian physics, full rotation freedom independent of movement, forward-only thrust, unlimited speed, unlimited playing field.
As far as input goes, you turn with the mouse, right-click to thrust forward, left-click to shoot. If you really need to roll, I've assigned that to the scroll wheel (works well enough). Joystick will also be supported, but I'm keeping it fully controllable and playable with the mouse.
If you're wondering how the **** that works, check it out:

The universe's technology level is near-future with FTL jumps. I've made several assumptions (which I'll gladly discuss) to allow for plausible human-piloted space fighters.
Would you be interested in this game ? What did I forget, what am I doing wrong ? Hit me !
Nice! We need more newtonian space games.
I saw you are using RCS thrusters for rotation. Why can't the ship strafe then? Haven't saw any external image of the craft, but my understanding is that if there's only one cluster of thrusters on the nose, then apart from rotation, it would also induce some sideways movement without another cluster behind the center of mass counteracting that.
And if you do have a cluster at the back, then the ship should have everything for lateral movement too.
The games on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/663100/Thrust__Shoot__Flight_School/ under a tenner as well although the major complaint on the Steam forums is a lack of any content, although the dev has said he will be adding that issue.
