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.

From the 1C forums. It looks like they are making a sequel to the Space Rangers games. As someone who LOVES, and still plays SR2, this is fantastic news.
This new title remasters the universe of Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators and Space Rangers 2: Reboot and allows players to revisit those games or take part in a thrilling new story.
Space Rangers HD: A War Apart takes place in 3300AD. Our galaxy is invaded by the Dominators, combat robots that come under the influence of an alien technology. The player finds themselves in a living, breathing world where they can engage multiple activities: fight in space and hyperspace, buy and sell goods, accomplish government missions, liberate planets from the Dominators in 3D RTS battles and complete text adventures leading to unique plot twists and rewards. The game ending is not set and players may find a victory of either side at the end. Everything depends on the actions taken in this developing world where anybody can live the life of a pirate as well as that of a hero.
Space Rangers HD: A War Apart features a dynamic game world where the balance of power between the Dominators and the Coalition can shift at any minute and can be tipped to either side by player actions. A wise criminal will wait before plundering the Coalition if it is losing the war. Additionally, the game has been updated including new upgrades for spaceships, new planetary battles, text quests and hyperspace engagements available to pirates and law abiding rangers. This enhanced edition brings full widescreen support up to 1920x1200 complete with updated graphics and interface. Subtle improvements like the ability to play hyperspace battles outside of the story mode help to provide the unique experience for which Space Rangers was revered.
An HD version of Space Rangers 2 Reboot. I hope they will add savegame functionality on the RTS section. I cannot wait though. 😀 A new developer's studio behind this version?
More then an HD version actually. More text quests, RTS Maps, and stuff for the space campaign. Also, it adds an entirely new warfront. While the dominators are invading, the pirates have started banding together under a new banner. You can choose to fight them, or join them, adding an entirely new campaign. Also, Pirate leaderboards, just like the Ranger boards.
All kinds of new stuff. I'm pretty excited.
Nice although I would like to see a Rangers 3.
Will add it to the release list any new on a release date for it. ❓
I can't find the source right now, but I remember seeing
Q4 2012.
Release date is now Q1 2013 on the 1C site.

Long time since we heard anything about this, think the Russian version may have come out but there is nothing about the English one so far.
Your probably right with that Pinback, a quick search on YouTube results in only russian videos on the gameplay (which looks good btw).
At last it's coming out on Steam next week 17/10/13 and even better news later on DVD. http://spacerangershd.com/
We are glad to inform you, that the release date of the game is now confirmed! Rangers would be able to free (or destroy) the Galaxy on October 17th on Steam! Also, a bit later there will be a retail DVD release (but discs also require Steam activation) in Europe. Country list and exact date for retail version will be specified within a few days.
Steam activation for a DVD game, that's lame. Unless its the full game on disc and then you can also activate it on steam to play without disc or when your disc gets lost. Space Rangers HD does look nice compared to the previous games.
Does seem a bit strange for what is just an HD update although it's pretty much standard now days for DVD game to require some sort of online activation, just hope it not like Galaxy on Fire steam activation where you can not play the game offline with out activating it online first.
Space Rangers HD does look nice compared to the previous games.
There is a Higher Resolution patchs for Space Rangers 2 - Reboot. (And for Space Rangers 1, I think).
You have to wonder if they will ever get around to doing a Space Rangers 3.
