Hello there folks
Only recently happened upon the place, lurked a bit, and reckoned I might as well register so as to comment and possibly do other things down the line.Generally, I'm most "known" ( ) within the Roguelike community---as I am something of a resident monster.

RE: Hello there folks
Welcome to SSC, Getter.There is a lot of projects going on in the scifi/space area of gaming and I think it is exciting and two games you might want to checkout is [url]http://code.google.com/p/rlprospector/[/url] and [url]http://www.asciisector.net/[/url] I like Ascii Sector a lot and the content in that game is great and getting better. Have fun on SSC and look forward to your insights in the forums.
RE: Hello there folks
Ah yes, quite aware of those 2 as well as Star Mass and a slim smattering of others as Sci-fi in general, let alone space, just hasn't been as common a romp versus the usual Fantasy fare. Especially expectant on the future of ASCII Sector since it dropped the Privateer aspect and the dev is charging headlong into those commercial projects he's got kicking around. I was also pleased to see that Lost in Flatspace II got a rather meaty patch in the recent past given the last patch of any stripe was well in excess of a year ago
