When will Subspace End?
2dragons | Tuesday, February 20, 2001
How long will Subspace last? This is a simple question with a hard answer. If time is taken to recognize what Subspace is it can be seen that it is a uniquely awesome game. It has only be recreated once in the inferior game Infantry. (Never heard of it? Don’t waste your time with finding and trying it out.) Subspace, designed for ease of use, limited requirements, and great replay value is one of a kind. Yet, is this superb game behind in time? Subspace is a two-dimensional game, it lacks a sequel (which it doesn’t need), and was ditched and forgotten by its creators.

Personally, I’d like to see Subspace never end, hopefully that will be the case. With the current players and their support it should last forever. When however will the game of Subspace be out of style? Will it fade out when everyone has virtual reality in their home? My bet is that Subspace never dies… I figure though that the Subspace community will not grow proportionally to the human population and will slowly fade into an obscure game.
New Client
Jagr | Sunday, February 4, 2001
New Client

No doubt we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new Subspace client called Continuum. With this new client brings many new changes that may take place to the game. We will no doubt make it much harder for cheaters to have their way, but we can also enhance the game. The 256 color bitmaps can be changed to 24-bit so that more colors can be used; this will enhance the look of everything in the zone.

However, how many changes do we make before the game no longer is Subspace? Some people want new weapons, new tile shapes, new ways to configure the server. Do we really want to do all these things? The creators of Subspace made infantry, but Subspace has something that Infantry does not. Simplicity. Subspace can run on almost any machine, and takes little time to download. While with infantry it takes a fair machine and a very long time to download, not to mention to download the levels themselves.

So before you urge the developers to make mandatory shipset downloads for your zone, or for round tiles, remember, this is Subspace, and simplicity is one of the things that makes it great.

SS Not the Same
Rude Awakening | Friday, February 2, 2001
I have noticed anymore Subspace is just not the same. We have lost alot of the people that went to major lengths to make this game fun. Alot of the good zones are gone or have been forgotten. Even Subspace sites have been really cut down. Before you would see SSNET, SS.DS98.COM, SSHQ, SSZONE.NET, Ein's Minefield, SS.NMEBASE.COM, the list could go one forever. Now you only see a few sites and some sites are not nearly as updated as sites before. The only two major SS site's out there anymore is SSNET and SSHQ. Maybe things will get better and at least there is more Subspace players now, but things are changing and I am not quite sure if it is all for the good.
10 Reasons Showing that I Play SS Too Much!
2dragons | Monday, January 22, 2001
10 Reasons Showing that I Play SS Too Much!

1. My friends groan every time I say Subspace.
2. I don't know the name of any game released in the past two years.
3. I have more friends on Subspace than I do in real life.
4. I don't give a crap about graphics cards, I only care about ping.
5. I drive 100 mph all the way home to make a squad match.
6. I spend 3 hours a day in class reading SS forums.
7. 5 years on one game?
8. Social life dims in comparison with Subspace.
9. Ever heard of playing subspace with your eyes closed?
10. I could list 10 zones in SS faster than I could list 5 states in the USA

SS Publicity Kadith | Sunday, April 29, 2001

I was checking different search engines for subspace today using common keywords such as; online games, multi player games, & others. I did not find any subspace site listed in the first ten pages. So we need to get working on those meta tags and getting our sites listed higher. Another thing we can do is vote for subspace at [ mpogd.com ]. SubSpace was the game of the month for August 2000. So we can use the mpogd image and link it to the Voting booth. I have provided the link and image below. [ Vote Now ]

After about 2 weeks of downtime, our Free Webmail has returned! It has been upgraded in all areas. It now also allows users to signup and activate their account immediately. No more delays or downtime.

SSCE Star Wars Name Change!! ShadowRipper | Monday, April 9, 2001

As part of the on-going effort to make the zone a better place for people to play in, we
are changing the name of the zone a bit. From now on SSCE Star Wars shall be named SSCE Star Wars Realm.
The reason for the change? There are other zones with similar names out there, a few of them
in fact, and we believe this small change to our name will make it easier for new people
to identify our zone and join in on the fun. So go add SSCE Star Wars Realm.
to your server list now! :)

The Temporary Server is Connected to the SSC Billing so there wont be any changes for Scores and Squads etc.

Because of this temporary problem we have moved our Opening Spring Swars Event to next Saturday April the 7th at 6:00 pm est.

Important Directory Server News! hedcase1 | Friday, March 30, 2001

Recently, as many of you have probably noticed, there have been problems with the primary directory servers of finding Subspace zones. Minbari Warship has summed up all the recent events quite nicely related to the directory server. Please visit Subspace HQ for full details on the current status of the Directory Servers!
Important News From BD Vine: hedcase1 | Friday, March 30, 2001

BD Vine, Server Operator of SSCU and the SSC Billing Server made an important update to the SSCU website yesterday:

Earlier this week someone set up a zone faking itself as SSCU Ghost Town, with the obvious intention of stealing passwords from unsuspecting players. As soon as this was found out, the zone in question was banned from the directory servers.
If, while logging in to an SSC connected zone using any of your previously used accounts, you get the "Unknown user, continue as new player?" message box, you'll know something is wrong about the zone and you SHOULD NOT log in. In a case like this do not hesitate to send me email where you state the name of the zone and the date and time you noticed this.
To see a list of zones currently connected to the SSC billing system, see our scores page. The current list of SSCU zones is as follows:

SSCU 17th Parallel
SSCU Death Star Battle
SSCU DSB Events
SSCU Dragonball Z
SSCU Euro League (SO)
SSCU Trench Wars
SSCU Trench Wars League
SSCU Warzone


He also had this to say about a recent server upgrade:

SSCU has upgraded the Death Star Battle server hardware. In addition, Warzone was moved to a new server, away from the Death Star Battle server to minimize the possible effects of sharing resources with the second biggest SSCU zone.
If you haven't already done so, refresh your server list.
Zone Hosting MikeTheNose | Friday, March 30, 2001

Server & Webmail News hedcase1 | Thursday, March 29, 2001

It's been a while hasn't it? I've been really busy with real life and behind the scenes lately, I haven't had a lot of time to keep Subspace.Net fully updated. Not to fear though, I'm back and bringing SS.NET out of 'hibernation'. With that said, onto some news!

As many of you have probably noticed recently, we have had quite a few problems with our web server. Well not to fear, we have been working hard on this problem, and next week we will have things running in ship shape again. This includes hosted sites and broken links on this site. Subspace.Net will be down for a day next week, to be determined, while we fix things here. I apologize for the inconvienence now, but trust me, this is something that is sorely needed for the stability of this site and everything hosted by it, it will be worth the downtime :)

Secondly, the database for our Webmail Services crashed last week, and as a result, most of our accounts were knocked offline. Fortunately though, the problem has been fixed, and hopefully by tomorrow our all new Automated Sign Up feature for webmail will be operational. What does this mean you ask? Good question. Basically, it means you no longer have to wait while we create your accounts, you can sign up and have your account created instantly!

That's just a brief recap of events going on, non-Subspace related. Once we fix things internally over the next week, prepare for an all out blitz and a brand spanking new Subspace.Net!

���Someone has attacked some ExS zones. They steal peoples names and have wiped out *OuTkAsT*, and 1stStrike zones so far. Who ever is doing it left a note on the map saying "You been owned by GD." I don't beleive he did this, probubly someone trying to get him in trouble. They obviously didn't do a good job. This is ment as a warning, cause I have no idea how they are doing it or if they still are. So be verry carfull, and make sure you don't give out staff password to anybody not even your staff. Send it to them in an email instead. They might not be the real person.

DSB News Jagr | Thursday, March 15, 2001

There is a crazy rumor flying around that a new DSB staff position is going to be announced. Sources say that a Special Event Coordinator will be chosen and will be announced sometime in the near future. In case you were wondering loops' (DSB
sysop) email is loops@death-star.com.
Hint Hint.



We do not know what kind of special events are going to be planned (if any, this is only a rumor after all) but on the
DSB message boards there has been lots of ideas bouncing around. Some are: Bouncy bullets for everyone, having 3 freqs (rebels, imperials, and a mercenary group), and flags that move. There was also a poll on the DSB site a while back about when events should be held. Well check out
DeathStarBattle.com for all the latest news.

Rage Wars Moved Kadith | Wednesday, March 14, 2001

���ViRu$ sent me this to post about his zone [ Rage Wars ]. Looks like ExS is getting bigger and bigger. Well here is what he had to say.
Rage Wars has moved to a new and better server! Click on Find Servers type in sscentral.ds98.com and look for ExS Rage Wars. Hope you all check it out!

���I myself would suggest using [ sscentral.vie.co.uk ]. Seing as ds98 has never worked for me. Not even one time. It usually sits on like 70%, and does nothing else.

SubMail and Hosting CybeRise | Tuesday, March 13, 2001

Due to enourmous request, we are not able to do all the Submail and hosting requests. Currently there are over 6,000 hosting and submail requests sitting there and it is basically just impossible to pick at them all manually and still remain sane at the end of the day.

We will have an automatic signup form for Submail very soon though, so that will solve many big problems. As for hosting requests, that will continue again once we have cleared up some server side issues. :)
DSB News Jagr | Tuesday, March 13, 2001

DSBL3 (DeathStarBattle League 3) kicked off last weekend. There were a few Rf problems and 2 squads had to forfeit (mine was one, c'mon Subspacers!) but other then that it was great. The new database is working fine too.

In related news DSB is getting a new server very soon (like today) so
DSB will be down for a little bit, but it will be a good thing because poor ol' neg (our good and faithful server) is sweating bullets on the weekend with league matches and a full
DSB. So neg is getting a break... forever.

SS Race League Invitation zandramas | Tuesday, March 13, 2001

NEW "INTER-ZONE" RACE LEAGUE TO BEGIN SOON (SSRL)

All SS Zones invited to participate!!!

In this league, each zone will need 5 racers to represent their home zone and a race arena.
Racers will compete weekly at a different track provided by zones within the league.
It will not be manditory for all 5 to compete, but since the league will be based on points earned from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place each week, it is to your advantage to have as many racers,(max 5), to show up and represent your individual zone.

You will need to build a race track for when it is your week to host the race.
All tracks must be different from each other in design, but must all have the same speed settings.Average time to finish a race should be anywhere from 5-10 minutes.

There will be no weapons enabled and all must be locked into one freq for the race event.

For an idea of track size and speed settings, Please go to NGI SuperShips and type ?go race for exact settings, please contact Snarklord, SYSOP/OWNER SuperShips
I am currently contacting zones who are already known to have tracks, but I send out this Invitation to ALL SS ZONES.

For rules and more information visit our message board at:
http://superships.gomp.net
If interested in signing up your league for SSRL..Please contact:
SSRL Co-ordinator
"xXDeathXx"
or
SSRL Asst. Co-ordinator

P.S.
Estimated start time for the league is one month
