Version Number: 2.0.16 Date: May 5, 2024

Introduction: Only one minor fix. Additions/Improvements/Changes: None
Fixes:

When you are prompted for your player's name upon starting up and you just press [Enter] 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 VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.14 Date: March 18, 2024

Introduction: This was a test version.

Additions/Improvements/Changes:

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.

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).

In the Fleet Maintenance (login Fleet/Manager), the Service Record (SrvRcd) maintenance is now partially functional. You can list the Service Record which shows the values for each entry in the record along with its meaning. You can select [All] to view the entire Service Record file or you can select a player number to view the record for only that player. You can also select the Modify Option, which partially works. You first select the player whose record you want to modify (from the Fleet Personnel list), then select the entry you want to change. You will be prompted for the new value or just press [Enter] to leave it unchanged. There is an option [A] to look at the list of awards so you can determine the correct number corresponding to each award. Currently, only the initial screen of records can be shown in the Modify option ([PgDn] and [PgUp] don't work yet). In this version, any changes you make are not kept.

Fixes: None

======================================================================================================= Version Number: 2.0.15 Date: April 8, 2024

Introduction: This is a test version.

Additions/Improvements/Changes: None

Fixes:

When trying to beam up your Landing Party (LP) from a planet with a base that has extra crew and shock troops, instead of just your selected Landing Parties beaming up, all the Krellan personnel on the planet beam up - FIXED

If there is a LP on a planet, then you are unable to use the Personnel Transfer in Teleporters to beam up personnel not in your LP - FIXED 3.Orbiting a planet with a base, Personnel Transfer will beam captives to the planet and doesn't allow personnel transfer - FIXED.

Took steps to reduce the possibility of getting system errors being reported from Engineering.
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:

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.

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:

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 Transfer in Teleporters to beam any personnel up or down- FIXED

On star maps, the description of the object being highlighted by the Target Designator Box (TDB) sometimes does not blank out all the space from the previous object - FIXED

In LP Database table, got an "integer divide by zero" error and "unable to load file" error message when it reached the quantity and duration of supplies value for one particular LP - FIXED

A colony was captured and one legion was left on it as occupiers, but a subsequent probe that scanned the planet reported UGA presence - FIXED
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.12 Date: February 25, 2024

Introduction: This is a test version.

Additions/Improvements/Changes: Brian Rubin here. Thanks to Discord user CptSnarkyPants, we've tweaked some DOSBox settings which should result in a much snapper game. Thanks, CptSnarkyPants!
Fixes:

Some issues with missing text in the Academy instructions for a new Altern- FIXED

In the Invasion Management display in Strategic Command, the TotENMY value was wrong if the total of Militia and UGAF was too high - FIXED

Supply ship reported it was low on cargo and heading to itself to resupply - FIXED. Now supply ships will always return to a starfort for resupply.

In the Space Forces table in Strategic Command, the last entry in the Orders box will scroll the box up (messing up the top line) if the planet's name is maximum length - FIXED

Occasionally, for no apparent reason, a Krellan ship (including your escorts) will lose its name, which is be replaced by a blank. Although I have not found the cause of this, the game will automatically do a repair if it happens and assign a new name to the ship. This check and fix occurs whenever you or another KS enters a new system.
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.13 Date: March 2, 2024

Introduction: This is a test/release version.

Additions/Improvements/Changes: None
Fixes:

For Mission 7-B the objectives were completed but the game did not acknowledge the successful completion of mission - FIXED

Mission 7-E - got OUT OF TIME failure with 15 days left - FIXED
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:

When a new recruit signs on, they are told to read the Training Manual before starting a mission.

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:

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.

Detonating a probe from a star map while it was in flight messed up the Launch Control display. FIXED

In Material Transfer if the target had negative power, it showed as infinity instead of zero. FIXED

In the Command Tree for Computer/Special Services, the "Quit" command highlight was one row off. FIXED

If you run out of energy or low on supplies, the captives weren't being killed off (Please note, killed captives aren't being added to the mission tally, this will be fixed in the next patch). FIXED
STAR FLEET II VERSION 2 PATCH NOTES Version Number: 2.0.01 Date: 11/18/2023

Introduction: A few bugs have been reported. This build fixes the most urgent ones. Another build will take care of the remaining.
Additions/Improvements:

For the description of Prize Crews in the Ship Information System (SIS) accessed by Ctrl+I, it now explains that if you have <11 shock troops left on the captured UGAS after boarding, only 1 Shock Trooper will be left and you will have to add the other 9 troopers required for a prize crew using the Personnel Transfer function in the Teleporters.

Version 1.5b has been added to the extras folder. Thanks to desseim on GOG for the idea.
Fixes:

In the introduction to a new Altern, the end of one of the lines is missing. It says "...a disciple of Emperor Henri" - it should read "...disciple of Emperor Henri Zae IV and strive". FIXED

In the final Mission Tally shown after the completion of the game, selecting "Orders" caused the program to freeze. FIXED

Pressing Ctrl+Z during the game causes the Time Left to go almost to zero (or a negative number) and activates the LOW TME warning. This was a debug command that was meant to test the end of the mission. FIXED (it has been disabled)

In a long mission, a series of file errors can occur when the program tries to archive the SPD files. PARTIALLY FIXED (if there is a file error detected, it will disable the SPD function to prevent this from occurring with future dockings. A permanent fix will be sought).

The Career Update Summary accessed through Computer/Special Services/Career mistakenly shows that a rank of Subadmiral or above is required to upgrade your battlecruiser. It should be Prefect, not Subadmiral. FIXED

In this same command option, the values and columns in the Career Statistics display do not match up. FIXED
