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.

Here's a first of upcoming short videos featuring Starpoint Gemini 2 spaceships. This is the Imperial Navy's Perun dreadnought. What do you think?

Very nice!

 

Better not  to have this ship as an enemy behind, I guess ...

Hope you guys have sorted out the size issue this time around, a dreadnought sounds big.

 

Great lighting effects 😎 and will you be able to fly through the rings as IIRC you mentioned the planets would be 3d this time?.

@XenonS

Yeah. Wouldn't be smart, but then again, sometimes there's no choice and the "Imps" get on your tail. Some of the side turrets can also fire forwards and when all those cannons open fire...not good...

 

@PINBACK

The planet in the video is full 3D, you can fly to it, land on it, do some shopping for some mean firepower and then hop back into orbit, right above the rings :).

Glad you like the lighting. We aren't 100% done with the ambients at the moment actually. We've refocused back onto gameplay, and leaving the finishing graphic touches for later.

Landing on planets this time, waoh 😎

I will refrain with my game suggestions at this point, knowing how difficult these things like a sort of ground combat on pirate bases, mining operations etc. are really difficult to implement , I just say it's a very nice surprise that I didn't expect.

Also congrats for the grafical artiwork.

 

Great,

XenonS

I think they are doing it Freelancer style.

Yeah. Landing on planets IS like in Freelancer. No atmospheric flight. Sorry if I misled you XenonS. It wasn't intentional.

 

Atmospheric flight, terrain, flying over cities, fighting over cities, bombarding cities, civilian population fleeing in terror 😉 ... that's something I'm hoping we'll get to in a future installment 🙂
