| A Couple of Small Things | 2023-11-14 | 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 St |

You can buy the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1470940/STAR_FLEET_II__Krellan_Commander_Version_20/ Once I hit the release button on Steam, I'll be doing a stream on the Steam page and my other channels, which you can find links to here: https://www.spacegamejunkie.com/stream/ If you want to get started on some reading, check out the new Operations Manual: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1470940/manuals/Klagar-Class_Battlecruiser_Operations_Manual.pdf?t=1699886733 |
| Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander 2.0 Released | 2023-11-13 | STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0 Date: 11/13/2023 Introduction: This marks the initial release of Star Fleet II - Krellan Commander (TM) Version 2.0. There are two manuals being provided for Version 2.0, the Star Fleet Training Manual Volume 2 Version 2.0, and the Klagar-Class Battlecruiser Operations Manual. Both of these manuals will be enhanced and revised as needed. We hope to offer the Ops Manual in a hardcopy version in the near future if there is sufficient demand.

| Star Fleet II 2.0 Beta.40 | 2023-11-12 | STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: Beta.40 Date: 11/11/2023 Introduction: This patch makes eliminates the code that was included for playtesting in order to make it ready for V2.0 release and some minor bug fixes and tweaks. Additions/Improvements: 1. The decrease in the crew's morale when you run out of supplies and have to start rationing has been tweaked. 2. Delivery of the Klink Drive from Dept. Q has been modified to match the manual. Fixes: 1. When a star was destroyed, the starliner routes map still showed it even though its location was shown off the star map. 2.

| SF2 V2.0 Beta.39 | 2023-11-11 | STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: Beta.39 Date: 11/10/2023 Introduction: This patch makes a couple minor adjustments and fixes one bug. Additions/Improvements: 1. The threshold level for the LOW PWR and LOW SUP warnings has been modified to be 25% of maximum level instead of a set quantity, which would make it 20% each for both warnings for the upgraded battlecruiser (Flagship). This makes it consistent with the documentation. 2. When you get the LOW PWR warning and you are not at RED ALERT status, then the XO will lower your shields to save power, regardless of the setting of the AAS. Fixes: 1. Escorts were unable to dock w |

| A Quick Update | 2023-09-09 | Hey friends, Brian Rubin here! I've been getting some questions as to how the game is coming along so I wanted to chime in and give y'all a quick update! So far here's what's going on: Delays: Some real-life stuff has delayed us a bit, such as Trevor's floppy drive failing (he still programs the game on his 486) plus some deadlines he had for his other work at Interstel, such as satellite contracts! Those have pretty much passed, and the floppy drive is working again, so we're back on track. What's Done: The code audit is complete, which was a huge deal, and has made the game much more stable. What's Currently Being Worked On: Right now much |
| Tutorial Series Completed! | 2023-05-31 | Friends, Brian Rubin here. I just wanted to chime in and say the tutorial series is finished. It's twenty-two short videos covering everything from basic navigation to full fleet and strategic command. I hope you find them entertaining and useful.

Here's the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6K1_LepsaN8Opth-ggsorycfHVFVfwVk Sadly Steam doesn't do embeds of playlists. ;) |
| Tutorial Series Launched | 2023-05-02 | Friends, hello! Brian Rubin here, and while work on the game proceeds furiously -- we're fixing bugs and making new documentation as I write this, and a code audit is happening as well -- I planned out a new tutorial video series to hopefully make the game more approachable!

| We've Hit Beta!! | 2023-02-15 | Friends, Brian Rubin here with an update! We've been quiet a bit lately, but that doesn't mean nothing has happened. I have the distinct pleasure of telling y'all that today, we finally hit beta. Now a number of things will happen to bring it to launch, including: More Bug Fixing A Code Audit Updated Documentation And likely a lot more. We're now, likely, only a couple of months away from finally releasing the game! I cannot WAIT y'all! Stay tuned!! |
| Happy New Year, We're Still Here! | 2023-01-03 | Hey friends, Brian Rubin here, happy new year! First off, let me say how sorry I am for not updating y'all on how things are going. The holidays slowed us down a lot, especially me, and Trevor has been pretty busy with his day jobs of teaching and being a rocket scientist. That doesn't mean work hasn't progressed though. We are THIS close to beta y'all. Trevor just wanted to kill a nasty memory clobber that had been giving our testers all sorts of weird issues and messages (and this took a long time to narrow down), but we just got a new version that we hope will kill the clobber for good. If all goes well on that front, we should hit beta so |
| A Quick Update | 2022-08-07 | Friends, Brian Rubin here, and I just wanted to give you a quick update on how things are going with Star Fleet II 2.0! Work is still on going, but some things have admittedly slowed us down, such as: Trevor -- the lone developer -- not only had to finish up his semester of teaching along with other rocket scientist work, but he was also recently injured in his leg (nothing super major, thankfullly), which has slowed him down. He's recovering nicely, thank goodness, but it's obviously slowed things down a touch. This one is my fault. We've been tweaking the last few missions of the game to make them, hopefully, better balanced. I've been bang |
