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.

What is the responsibility of modder team should be to modify key elements while following main rules. The target is to make it successful as
(a) Strike craft
Strike crafts used in the game are basically designed after crafts used for combat at earth. In space, we have six degrees of freedom and cap ships aka mobile sam/AA. This calls for a totally different strategy. Flying strike craft is no fun when you cannot survive even a small skirmish. And also one should not forget to make fighters light in planet atmosphere.
(b) Cap-Ship
A virtual 3d bridge. Only static is possible in current structure of game. If anyone has played battle-station midway, he knows that stgs caps need voice overs like screams of launching torpedoes, indicating damaged hull and of course repair warnings. A nice patrol chat based on battle-situation would be interesting to keep even a routine patrol interesting.
(c) Background
Well in stgs you have to cover long distances to reach a target as a bomber or capship. An eye-candy in space would be refreshing along with patrol chatter, or raising your spirits speech.
Right now star gathering storm might be regarded as Terellian Alliance space simulator(joking for its extreme realism).
It needs a hollywood touch.
Looking forward to your code patches, models, sounds, and all the other stuff needed to make this work.
