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.

Hey community,
i read the "Ender"-Series from author Orson Scott Card several years ago. Today i became aware of the fact that there is a movie adaption to be released in november. That's great! π
But now, being reminded of this great book(s) I'm asking myself if there is a strategy game like the one Ender is playing in the end of "Ender's Game". And i don't mean, like, kinda similar, but pretty similar.
I don't want to play Eve or smth. like this. That's not a tactical game as the simulator in the battle school is providing.
I want fleets, big group movements and all that in 3 dimensions. (That excludes the 5000000000 2D strategy games out there :D)
Also, the gameplay shouldn't be toooo easy, it has to provide challenging difficulty (or maybe there is a multiplayer one?) and the absolute most important thing is, that it can provide possibilities to become better and better (tactical-wise).
So, my question is, can one of you name me one or two qualtiy titles, that come as close as it get's to the game Ender is playing? π
Thanks in advance

Starshatter: The Gathering Storm ??
Starshatter: The Gathering Storm ??
Ok well... I see, good suggestion. π
But it's said, that there is, quote:
"[...] Starshatter also integrates elements of real-time-strategy games by allowing fleet commanders to direct the battle on a tactical level [...]"
Does that mean, that I can always be in "commander-mode" or is it just temporary?
Since i'm not really interested in dogfighting and stuff π
Thanks for the quick answer!

Nexus TJI.
Starshatter you can be the captain or the admiral - you can jump from ship to ship or get them to follow high level orders.
Isn't Homeworld I/II sort of what you are looking for - it's 3D, has big fleets 30/40 ships plus 100+ fighters and is a tactical game.
Thanks you 2 for the suggestions π
I took a look at Nexus tji and Homeworld and both look super promising. Especially the big fleet fights in Homerworld are convincing as hell π
So, thanks, I'll look if I can somehow lay ends on them and test'em π
