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.

A simple 2D Elite clone, looks like it been around for a couple of years on Itch.io https://profexorgeek.itch.io/masteroid and popped up on Steam last Nov. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1148320/Masteroid/
Don't think it covered before but these games start to look all the same after a while, it's pretty cheap but it wont offer you anything you have not seen 50 times before.

From Steam
Warp into a busy galaxy with nothing but your wits and a tiny ship. Explore sectors, mine asteroids, take on faction missions, sell resources and upgrade your loadout. Earn the respect of a faction to unlock new weapons and ships. Attack other ships and steal their resources but beware: factions won't tolerate hostility for long without retaliation. Masteroid is an atmospheric, indie 2D space game with procedurally-generated sectors and casual, relaxed gameplay.
Key Features:
- Procedurally Generated Game World: Masteroid randomly generates up to six sectors for two unique factions at the start of every game so every new game is unique.
- Upgrade Your Ship: Every ship you see in space can be purchased and outfitted, provided you have the faction reputation!
- Upgrade Your Weapons: Ships have one or more turrets. Buy and equip weapons but make sure your ship has the energy to fire them!
- Relaxed Gameplay: No permadeath here. Death results in a loss of any cargo and a small cash penalty. You can play the game as passively or aggressively as you like.
- Faction Reputation: Sell mined resources, kill enemy ships or run missions to earn reputation points for a faction. Higher levels unlock better weapons and ships.
