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!!
Live Stream Today around 10 AM Pacific Time
Friends, Brian Rubin here, and I am delighted to tell you that, today, we launch Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander 2.0 at around 10 AM Pacific time.
Thanks so much for your patience, and we're so thrilled that this is finally coming out.
Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander 2.0 Released
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. Please visit our website at www.starfleet2.com.
Things Still Needing to be Done: Add an Index to the Operations Manual Add Acknowledgements, a Dedication, and an Index to the Training Manual
Additions/Improvements: None
Fixes: None
Star Fleet II 2.0 Beta.40
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. Starbases were getting phasers and shields knocked out while their shields were still high (~90%).
SF2 V2.0 Beta.39
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 with a captured starbase when initially asked to do so. They could dock later with a Rendezvous command. Fixed - they will now dock initially.

A Quick Update
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 of the work is focusing on the documentation, as much of it has needed to be updated, but we're not far from being done on that. We've also made progress on the training manual as well. We're also working on a new trailer for the game
The State of the Game:
The current beta has been pretty rock solid. I've gotten some time with it and have had no bugs, and none of the other playtesters have reported any for a while, so the game feels as close as it's ever been to being complete.
Final Thoughts:
Only one person wants to get this game in your hands more than me, and that's Trevor himself. We're all working hard to get this game to you, but we want to do it right. I want to, again, thank you all for your patience and excitement for this game.
Thanks for reading this quick update, and again for your patience. Y'all are the best.
Stay tuned, we'll have more soon!
Tutorial Series Completed!
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. If you have any further questions about the game after watching these, please don't hesitate to ask here or in the comments of the videos themselves. Thank you.
Here's the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6K1_LepsaN8Opth-ggsorycfHVFVfwVk
Sadly Steam doesn't do embeds of playlists. ;)
Tutorial Series Launched
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! I finally got around to making the first video, and you can see it here:
You can check out the full playlist here, which will be filled out as I make more videos.
If you have any questions, you can leave them here or in the video's comments. I hope to get you as prepared for this game as possible.
Thanks for your patience y'all! We're getting there, and I can't wait!!!
