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.

Can't find an update thread so I will just put it here, Alpha 3.5 bug fixes new planet, women and fiddling with the flight model again.

At times there, I thought I was watching Wolfenstein in Space!

That's a nice city

Years ago on this forum I used to say " a GTA like city in space" , looks like we are finally getting close to it, granted it's not single player.

Now what would happen if you jumped off.

Judging by what happened to me at Lorville (another starport in the game with a city around it) I fell through the scenery. Still lots of work to do it seems. 😉

I don't think they will ever finish it, more like a continuous WIP.

I might actually get around to down loading it one day but still on the look out for a single player with this sort of detail in it.

Maybe Starfield will be it as Bethesda have the deep pockets required to spend on this type of detail in a game.

Edit I change the title of this thread, as it's not really a new game now.

Its a nice visual when your flying above it but that is it.... its a shame you cannot interact with any of it 🙁

Falling through city, planet or anything really shouldn't be happening personally, especially after 7yrs of development... yeah I guess I am a little sour about this game in general. I was not expecting development to take this long and not even looking close to being done..... ? I agree Pinback, I think 5 yrs from now it will still not be a released game.

Right now I am just looking forward to playing Squadron 42. I got so turned off on SC when I logged into it last year and I couldn't even board my ship the ladder wouldn't drop (looked it up it was a bug).... but this ship was a starter ship that was present during the kickstarter.... how can this be 🙂

Well regardless of the project's state this city is quite impressive _(._.)_
And those guys know how to texture, the depth effect on the flat surface at the end of the video is amazing.
That said I agree that with such visuals the first idea that comes to mind is "now can I take an elevator to the lobby, get out to the street and grab an ice cream at the closest food-truck?" 😉

Any chance of bringing back pages to the forum D1 where we used to have 15 or 20 post per page.

I been very impressed with what they are trying to do, but I have not had the disappointment of trying to play the game.

As for Squadron 42 I thought that would have been out by now, looked like they were close to releasing it a couple years ago. Get the feeling it suffered fome feature creep same as the main game.

I think the main reason was switching to the Lumberyard engine halfway through development. This meant alot of assets and code had to be updated or otherwise changed, but yes more features were certainly added to the game too. I think we will be well into the 2020s before we see this game.

Lumberyard? <grins> From the Lumberyard T&Cs a few years back:

The Lumberyard Materials are not intended for use with life-critical or safety-critical systems, such as use in operation of medical equipment, automated transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, aircraft or air traffic control, nuclear facilities, manned spacecraft, or military use in connection with live combat.

Yeah they usually do one of these each time a milestone is completed, which Alpha 3.5 just came out recently. I am a paying customer and I still have yet to play really the game more than 10-20mins in 7 yrs. I know I should give the game a try.... maybe I will after Alpha 3.6.

I have my founders card on the shelf for when I bought into the kickstarter..... still haven't really played this yet because I always wanted the Squadron 42 experience like in the old WC3/4/5 times. And I thought it was due this year they been kind of quite on it, because they said content wise it was done and they were just polishing it up.

This has a little info.... but still no release date.... since there is only 6mos left I doubt it will be in 2024.

When they said "polishing up" maybe they meant rewrite.

My guess would be Christmas if it comes out this year.

Not been keeping up with what has been going on in SC for a while but just watched a video yesterday and it seems that the game is still in a bit of a mess.
