Battle Fleet 2 has just been updated to v1.13 and includes the following fixes and new features:
Brand new campaign mode for the Pacific campaign: Clean Slate. This mode allows you to build your fleet from scratch instead of using the historical layout.
Airfields and coastal artillery leave wreckage when destroyed instead of just disappearing like they used to.
Destroyers now have 2 mid turrets that fire to both port and starboard, but can no longer carry a medium gun (which never made much sense for a small ship like that).
Depth charge launchers have an increased firing arc.
Multiplayer chat has an "incoming communication" message when the other player is typing.
Kick button added next to player's names in multiplayer.
General balance tweaks, improvements to AI and campaign AI.
Fixed 0000 power bug.
Fixed sabotage bug.
Added label when a ship is sabotaged or has it's bridge disabled.
Added "Unavailable" label to your territory ship list so you can quickly see which ships you can move.
Fixes to localizations.
Fixed airfield defend bug.
Submarines retain their highlight diamond when zoomed in.
Added ability to use +/- keys on the keyboard for zooming.
Other bug fixes...
Let me know what you think of the updates or if you find any other bugs. Enjoy!
Battle Fleet 2 Honors Pearl Harbor Anniversary
Today is the anniversary of the Dec. 7th attack on Pearl Harbor in World War 2. To honor this date in history, we will be donating 50% of our profits from the sales of Battle Fleet 2 between Dec 7th 2014 and Dec 10th 2014, to the National Museum of the Pacific War, located in Fredericksburg, Texas.
The National Museum of the Pacific War is operated by the Admiral Nimitz Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of the Pacific War in World War 2. It is the most comprehensive and engaging Museum dedicated to the Pacific War ever created. Spread across more than 6 acres, the complex has more than 50,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space including modern, interactive exhibits, state‐of‐the‐art media, and an extraordinary array of unique artifacts in addition to the outdoor exhibits that also line the campus.

Now is a great time to gift a copy of the game to your friends for the holidays and support a great cause as well.
Atlantic Expansion Fundraising Ending Today
The Indiegogo fundraising campaign for the Atlantic expansion will end today at midnight PST. Although the campaign has little chance of being fully funded, the amount we have raised so far along with the sales from the Steam launch are enough to guarantee that the Atlantic campaign will be completed and be available as a free update to the PC/Mac versions of the game.
With the amount raised the process to complete the Atlantic expansion will take several months, but if you would like to see it completed sooner and want to help the game's development please take a moment to share the campaign link with your social networks or make a contribution via Indiegogo.
Thank you everyone who has made a contribution or helped us spread the word, and thanks for all the great reviews and feedback on the game!

So what's next for the game? The first thing on the timeline is an Atlantic campaign we are in the process of developing, but we need some extra help to get it out quickly:
And of course we would love to hear from you, so join our discussion group and let us know what you think of the game and what else you would like to see from it.
