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.

Planetary Prospectors: A.R.M. (Asteroid Resource Mining)

Been eyeing this on the Steam store, http://store.steampowered.com/app/344890 looks like some sort of Miners war/Space engineers type of game, it's in early access so it will have some way to go before it complete.

looks like you fly a mining pod rather than a ship and from the videos it's a first person cockpit with a number of systems to activate, has a newtonian simulation and destructible asteroids and they also say they you will be able to have fleets and stations later in the game.

just the fact that it uses unity as its engine already makes my opinion go all into negative, even though the rest sounds nice. Just especially because the rest sounds nice and feature rich, im thoroughly worried. Unity is by far not the best engine to code games with complex game mechanics on. And its physics are also not something to really be positive about. Just take a look at the issues ksp has with unity (quite a lot, most of which have been ducttape fixed by ksp devs where possible).

 

So the concept sounds very nice, and space engineers and starmade could defo use some competition, but the choice of engine imo is very very poor.

I'm waiting for a sale myself.

 

Weird looking sky box is the odd thing which has caught my attention.
