- Star Fleet II V2.0.16 - 8 May 2024
Hey friends, Brian Rubin here. This is a teensy little patch to fix something on the login screen. Notes below! Thanks as always for being awesome! ------------------------------------------------ Version Number: 2.0.16 Date: May 5, 2024 Introduction: Only one minor fix. Additions/Improvements/Changes: None Fixes: 1. When you are prompted for your player's name upon starting up and you just press to look at the Fleet (players) List, it only allows you to view the list and not select the commander you want to play. It will now allow you to select that commander from the list and it will automatically be put into the name entry space, where you will then be prompted for the password. This just streamlines the entry process.
- Star Fleet II 2.0.15 Released! - 14 April 2024
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.14 Date: March 18, 2024 Introduction: This was a test version. Additions/Improvements/Changes: 1. In the Orbital Display, when the Science/Scanners option is selected, the Description Box for the object in the Target Designator Box (TDB) will also show the orbital position of the object if it is a Krellan ship, UGA ship, or Orbital Fort (but not your escorts). The orbital position has the format "O:" that shows the orbit type ("H", "M", or "L" for High, Medium, or Low orbits respectively) followed by the position in that orbit ("P:"). The zero position for each orbit is at the bottom of the planet and increments in a CW direction. 2. This same orbital position format is now used in the TARGET DATA display when in orbit. The orbit type is replaced by the letter instead of the numbers 0, 1, 2 (high, medium, low). 3. In the Fleet Main…

- SF2 V2.0.13 is Live - 9 March 2024
Hey friends, Brian Rubin here, thanks for your patience while Trevor fixes these bugs! Here are the notes! =============================================================================== STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.11 Date: February 18, 2024 Introduction: This was a test version. Additions/Improvements/Changes: 1. In the War Map, at Level 7 (Admiral), any hostile colonies, the location of which are known, will show the star system symbol in bright yellow. A starbase in the same system will have preference on the map. 2. In the Star Systems Database, the status symbol of the system ownership (Krellan, UGA, Neutral, or unknown) will also show in bright yellow if a colony is known to be in the system. Fixes: 1. If Operation Big Brother (OBB) is underway on the planet you are orbiting, the XO says the LP on the planet is not yours and you cannot use Personnel Tra…
- Star Fleet II 2.0.9 and 2.1.0 - 29 January 2024
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.9 Date: January 9, 2024 Introduction: This is a test version. Additions/Improvements/Changes: 1. Career Statistic Display was unable to handle some large numbers, such as Booty or Fines. It also had problems displaying large numbers which could overflow the space available. The table has been enlarged to handle larger numbers, and the Career Statistics file has been changed to handle larger numbers. For Example, the total number of Krels obtained in Booty was limited to 65,535. If there were more Krels than that, it would show a negative number. I've changed the critical numbers so their upper limit is over 1 million. This means the old career statistics files are no longer compatible with the game. When you log on, it checks to see if you have the new stats file or the old one. If the old one, it will automatically convert it to t…
- STAR FLEET II 2.0.5-2.0.8 - 8 January 2024
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.5 Date: December 27, 2023 Introduction: Several bugs have been fixed, but I am still working on others. A couple of new features or changes have also been made. Additions/Improvements/Changes: 1. When the XO asks if you want to board an enemy ship after it surrendered, you no longer have to select the ship after answering "Y". The XO and your crew know which ship it is. 2. "Blinky" now uses his full name, "Blinky Bill". 3. When you go to Alignment Mode (Alt+O while not moving in normal space), the mode will show "ALIGNMNT" to remind you that you are in this special static mode. I have also redefined the colors of some of the modes. 4. In the Planetary Invasion module, I've added a warning that if you attempt to quit before the invasion is complete the invasion will be considered a failure and all your legions involved in the invasi…
- Star Fleet II 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 - 20 December 2023
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.3 Date: December 5, 2023 Introduction: Several bugs have been fixed, still working on others. Additions/Improvements: 1. Some tweaks were made to the AI. Fixes: 1. Captives brought back by the Boarding Party were disappearing shortly after being taken to Security. FIXED 2. When initiating a patrol before fully emerged from hyperspace, game was freezing. FIXED - you cannot initiate a Search or Patrol until you have fully emerged from hyperspace. 3. You cannot downgrade from RED ALERT if a threat is detected. FIXED - you can now downgrade from RED ALERT even if there is a threat as long as the AAS is switched to manual. 4. In the Career Statistics Display, if the total for Passengers or Captives exceeds 65565, then the number was wrong - FIXED 5. In orbit of a planet in the same system as a colony, torps fired at an orbital target wo…
- Star Fleet II 2.02 - 26 November 2023
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.02 Date: 11/23/2023 Introduction: A few bugs have been fixed. Some improvements in instructions for new cadets have been made. Additions/Improvements: 1. When a new recruit signs on, they are told to read the Training Manual before starting a mission. 2. Turorials no longer show the Mission Orders, and they are not accessible within the game to avoid confusion. The Career page is also not available. Trying to access orders results in an error that can be ignored, and this will be fixed in the next patch. Fixes: 1. When you change the pitch of the engine sound using Ctrl+E, the new frequency is now saved and used. Previously it was being lost. 2. Detonating a probe from a star map while it was in flight messed up the Launch Control display. FIXED 3. In Material Transfer if the target had negative power, it showed as infinity instead…

- 34 years later, space sim Krellan Commander is back with a 2.0 release that's sort of FTL meets Dwarf Fortress - 17 November 2023
At the time of Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander's release, I was still learning to spell and wrestling with the whole "going to the toilet independently" business, but if I'd had access to an MS-DOS PC between potty-training sessions, I dare say I'd have tried my hand at being an intergalactic warlord. Originally published in 1989 by Interstel Corporation and distributed by a little-known company called Electronic Arts, it's an absurdly in-depth and fiddly-looking space sim in which you fly around a randomly generated cosmos in your horrible Klingon-adjacent battlecruiser, blowing up or commandeering other ships, bombarding or invading planets, and generally speaking being a nuisance. According to its creators, Trevor Sorensen and Mark Baldwin, the game had a rushed launch that led to a lot of technical issues. The developers released another, relatively bug-free version in 1991, which…
- A Couple of Small Things - 14 November 2023
Friends, Brian Rubin here. Thank you so much for a fantastic launch day. It's been AMAZING. However, a couple of things could've been better explained by us, so I wanted to chime in with these: If you run the game from the desktop shortcut, it'll go full-screen. However, if you alt-tab out, it'll run in the original, small resolution. We left this alone because if you run the game from the Steam client using the Play button, you get three windowed resolution options and the usual full-screen option. All of the documents are in the docs folder in your install folder on your hard drive. You can also download all three of the new docs via the Steam page but I've not yet figured out how to rename them properly. That's it for now. Don't hesitate if you have more questions. Thanks!!
