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.

Terra concept art

Bigger pic on the site http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/terra-concept-art/

 

We leave you for the week with one more piece of concept art. This is Terra, one of the most powerful worlds of the United Empire of Earth. Resource-rich and located at an economically important set of jump nexuses, Terra is the rising power in the galaxy… but could it ever eclipse Earth itself?

Not too taken with this, maybe just the angle pf the pic but it looks a bit to similar to other pics of future cities.

Hmmm you do have a point AcesHigh. It does sound in its description that it is a new earth but doesn't come out and say it. But besides that the concept art looks nice and if they can come close to that visual its going to be very nice to visit Terra.

Yes, I think SC is going to be a beautiful looking game indeed.

All I have to say is if the in-game experience is even close to this concept art it will look and feel amazing in the game. Chris Roberts always touts immersion and with effects like this and building the environments you envision a futuristic Earth (Terra) to be like. And it would be all the better if we can interact and move about these environments.

GTA in space ? Now that would be a game for which I'd have no problem paying hundreds of $$ ... if only someone would do it (well).

Shores of Hazeron already has GTA in space. Shame it is still in pre-alpha state of play.

Any one know if their will be more than just one landing spot on the planets, ie if their are two or three landing pads to visit on the planet or city?.
