Space-sim pages outside anywhere?
-
Huhu,
just wanted to ask, are there any very good, active and ressourceful general Space-sim pages?
If I remember right, TLR was a bit into that direction (have never been much active there on the forums), and Station Network is a general german (!) spacesim portal, but any international active ones?I also want to bring up a (stupid?) idea…that the spacesim communities should work more together - Maybe something like the FLCN for Spacesim-comms? (I dont think it is much work since the script/software/whatever is already created, correct me if I am wrong)
I personally believe that those communities might have to much borders - they dont know each other, ppl who like spacesims dont know about all games, or got bored with which they played for a long time but dont know other good “alternatives”…

I am doing my best to create a Space Sim Community where discussion on all games related to the gender is welcomed. I am trying to also create a download database that will house patches, game files, mods for all games (or least the most popular). News and exposure is what the space sim gamers need and I am trying to provide that. Hopefully very soon (next month) I will have a wiki started that will try to list all Space Sim’s ever created for the PC and some info and screenshots per game. So I will need the communities help to build this resource that will be available to everyone.
I know my site is new but I have been a space sim gamer forever and I too see what you are talking about Bas and I want to change it. We should be a strong community of Space Sim Gamers that demand more content and games be created for us
I’m only a one man operation so I could use some help. And thanks to everyone so far that have been giving me some good feedback and changes to do to the site.-D1-

D1, you have a PM from Crazy at your forums.

Well, TBH there are some things that I am missing at SWAT - for instance, an overall (!) active communtiy, and second, I think it is “too specialized in Freelancer”
-
It’s not a space-sim community, with all due respect. It’s just about a freelancer mod. What do you expect?

I dont know where you get your information from but SWAT is a space sim site containing MUCH information about many space sims.
SWAT has 7 active FL modding projects and a large scale of other old FL mods (which were produced for certain servers in the past years), SWAT is exclusivly supporting a branch of the Nexus modding scene, SWAT has a new game in production based on a different scifi game engine, SWAT has an active Eve online guild, we have good contacts to various gaming companies where we partly even get exclusive information, SWAT has for a very long time hosted the only Starlancer online community and yes we are also involved in hosting FL servers and helping other FL modding teams.To reduce our work just to our current main project is plain wrong. SWAT has never been only a Freelancer site.

I will build a community over time… my site is still new but working on the SEO now to become more search engine optimized. SWAT does have info on a few of the more popular space sims out there so they have more than just Freelancer.
I don’t want to step on any toes I just want to build a site geared towards the space gamer in mind. Yes there are always more focused sites out there and that’s great we need them. But we also need a few sites that find info and updates of the scene as a whole. I’m doing this just because I love these games and I always wanted to go to one site to get my fill of news and updates and to download the files I need so I made one

This site below is not a Space sim per say but the link to the Battletech / battlespce forums – this is an adjunct to the battletech walking mechanized tank game – it deals with all the space ships from that universe – from scouts and fighters all the way to battle ships and how to design them them –
it is a board / paper box graph game – but it ahs some wonderful Ship designs and many creative ideas
