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.

This WIP article is dedicated to all who love explosions, kamikaze playstyle and green friendly drones: here we introduce a super module of self-destruction and a repairing tool.
Self-destruction module
Equiping self-destruction module will deliver some unexpected troubles to enemies - at least if a kamikaze ship manages to get close enough to deal damage. It's obvious to make small ships with this module but if your tank or utility ship has free slots it can work as a very weighty "final word", turning the battle in your favor.
This skull is definitely having fun, making some great explosions and eating dozens of ships.
Repairing drone
Ones who follow Starfall Tactics long enough might remember this friendly green drone. Now it gets a proper job - fixing broken ship equipment and repairing armor, which is a very important part of the strategy: use it wisely and it will help your ships return home in time without losing strategically important dreadnoughts. Just remember: nothing is done for free and this drone will take plenty resources for repairing ships.
In PvE mode you can just pay some points and push a button like this - it summons a repairing drone which has a limited lifetime and repairs selected ship.
Yes, that's the drone we are talking about and the one which will save your fleet's life!
Sometimes, while creating particular stuff for Starfall Tactics, we experience funny glitches. Of course, it's always fixed so players can just enjoy their playtime when it's done. But we're really sorry somebody can miss a chance to smile on this Friday and are happy to share a little part of Starfall Tactics' development history with the help of these crazy gifs.
Note: not actual gameplay.
Interesting in those animated gif's is that the way you steer in Starfall Tactics? Will your ship automatically avoid obsticles or do you need to blast away and clear the way for your ship? Does ramming any object cause ship/cargo damage?
That repair drone model as great looking btw.

That's just work in progress gif - mostly trying to make destruction and ramming. No, you will need to avoid it or destroy if it's possible. Ramming couses damage depending on the speed of ships and some other characteristics.
