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.

Hi Guys Neagoth here, just thought id let people on here know as i cannot see it mentioned that Vendetta have a 21 day free trial ,instead of the 8hrs at http://www.mmorpg.com/giveaways.cfm/offer/119
They've got 1,114 keys left, but the only stumbling block is you have to register with them and i know thats not everyone's cup of tea but i thought i'd mention it if anyone was thinking of giving it a go and wanted more time than the 8hrs.
Any question just ask & ill do my best to answer.

Any talk of v2.0 and when it is planned to be released Neagoth?
Because with all the other space themed MMO's coming very soon the pool is going to get crowded and these games will need to have some nice features and or flashy graphics to reel people in.
I gotta say; I spent a few hours checking this game out, and I really like it.
It's got almost everything I love in a space-sim.. 6 degrees of motion, free (non-assisted) flight, lots of things to blow up, a decent market/trade model, and plenty of things to check out.
Also it's got a 1st person view. The one thing I didn't like about Eve was the 3rd person view.
So far, this game is pretty kewl.
Hi guys,
Well 2.0 is coming soon as were told by dev, so no ETA lol.But you got to give them credit there's only 4 guys who make this game and not the hundreds that some studio's have.
He's a run down of the last few updates:-
VO 1.8.110 includes:
- Basic Station Conquest: A new station located in Latos I-8 may now be conquered by players. This is a very limited, basic implementation of station conquest, only for testing purposes. Once all turrets are destroyed, the first person to dock may generate or select an Owner Key for use. The console command /listkeys can be used to show the current keychain, which each have a number next to them. Then /giveownerkey (key-number) can be used to give an owner key to another player. Any player with a key for the station will be able to dock and not be fired upon by the turrets.
- Bounty System Revival: We've brought back the old Bounty system, with a 1-million-credit upper limit on bounties. For now, only NPC-driven bounties may be allocated, handed out by governments for illegal activities, such as killing station guards. You can talk to NPC Marshals in Capitol stations for more information about becoming a bounty hunter.
- Warthog Mineral Extractor now features an integrated Free Mineral Scanner (Range: 500).
- Improvements to Game Updater. The game patching system now handles certain situations more elegantly, such as running out of disk space.
- The current Mac client version is now present in the app metadata, under "Get Info", the Finder and elsewhere.
VO 1.8.111 includes:
- EC-89 and free battery are now available at the conquerable station so players cannot strand themselves there.
- Conquerable station defense turret hitpoints have been quadrupled.
- Conquerable station defense turrets now respawn after 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes.
- Conquerable station defense turrets should now try to fly back to their position if knocked away.
- There is a 2 minute wait period between when all conquerable station defense turrets are destroyed and the station can be docked to in order for the station to be conquered.
- Improvements to conquerable station defense turret targeting system.
- Trade Guild mission no longer disconnects the player when the mission is taken.
The station conquest is very fun, but is a test run how it works and changes are planned for it. Plus the bounty system has returned, which means you can become a bounty hunter and hunt down pirates for fun PvP.
Shingen, glad your enjoying the game if your looking for a guild ask anyone from The Guild of Free Traders and say Neagoth sent you. Normally best to join our chat channel in game /444.
