I will ping Frank Lemay and Matthew Potter, if they know. Drogues are basically a shuttle (inside the client) so that is a different challenge. BTW, what are the drogues available for the Paravians?

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandar) on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 - 05:58 pm: Edit

They get sensor, Decoy and phaser drogues. they also get a seeking weapon drogue with 3 QWT instead of drones.

I answered the survey questions. Then thought abought something else.

what about bringing Net-Kill back up? Players could get used to the Tourney format and ships. Have something to play for and get better at tourney play?

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Wednesday, December 31, 2025 - 10:07 am: Edit

That is a good idea. I need to market that more. Possibly encourage people to register (or add support to the account to specify the times people are available to play) to let them know when people are available to play

Paul there isa play test rule for the High Energy Decelaration HEDin one of the CLs. With the greater use of the Drogues a way to reduce speed like the HED might be interesting for players to use. It seems to be have meant for x-class, maybe if it could be added at an earlier date say in 178 when drogues came for all ships it might create some interesting choices, instead of waiting for that speed 12 change as a mid turn change, you could drop to 12 as more of a surprise.

Eddie,
I assume you are requesting me to add support into the client. I would be happy to do so. Question: do you know which CL?

By Eddie E Crutchfield (Librarian101) on Thursday, January 01, 2026 - 02:37 pm: Edit

Sorry it is in P6 under playtest rules. It was interesting that it came out, because years ago I hadsent in an idea calledvariable deceleration that was similiar. thanks. Ed

Hey Paul,
On a windows machine, when using multi-monitors, sometimes a window will get misplaced off the screen somewhere. With most of the windows, I can locate it in the task bar & use right-click commands to be able to move it back onto the screen. However, the "set speed plot" dialog is different, when this one pops up offscreen somewhere, there is no retrieving it (as far as I know). It just can't be used until I get back to a multi-mon setup where that dialog is at least partially within view so that I can drag it back. Is there any workaround for this? Thanks!

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Thursday, January 01, 2026 - 07:03 pm: Edit

Daniel,
I just looked at the code and currently, there is no way to reset the stored position for the "set speed plot" window. It is saved as part of the game itself. If you select the "Save Current Settings" that will make the position the default for future games. That can be fixed by modifying the userinfo.properties file.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Thursday, January 01, 2026 - 07:04 pm: Edit

Eddie,
I was wonder about that. Let me see what the rules are in P6.

By Eddie E Crutchfield (Librarian101) on Thursday, January 01, 2026 - 11:50 pm: Edit

It seems very similar to an HET, it was writen to be limited to x-ships, but it seems not a lot of us play x-ships, so allowing i somewhat earlier, like the year of the drogues, would allow some testing of it in real life. Thanks

Hey Paul -I see an update is available. I can see the dialogue box, but it is really long and runs off the bottom of my screen. I cannot move that dialogue box to get to the install button. I cannot zoom in or out.

By Carl-Magnus Carlsson (Hardcore) on Wednesday, January 07, 2026 - 03:34 pm: Edit

Does the update require a new install of the client?

By Geoffrey Clark (Spartan) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 10:09 am: Edit

Can you please logout user Spartan?

By Daniel Bitseff (Cadet_Stimpy) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 10:25 am: Edit

SFBOL appears to be down.

By Geoffrey Clark (Spartan) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 10:25 am: Edit

Actually, SFBOL seems to be not permitting logins in general now, not just Spartan. Would you please take a look?

By Stefan Lenfest (Himosan) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 03:23 pm: Edit

Started our AoA room and never saw opponent's ship or chat. Applied the update but can't even log in now. Sorry Seth, not sure if you are online waiting or similar issues.

By Seth Shimansky (Kingzila) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 03:24 pm: Edit

same thing is happening to me - think client is down

By Daniel Bitseff (Cadet_Stimpy) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 03:30 pm: Edit

I'm now able to log in. But still seeing issues with client.

By Daniel Bitseff (Cadet_Stimpy) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 03:37 pm: Edit

Seth & I were logged in, tried to start a test tourney game, and as soon as we did, all communication halted. I'm able to hit "activity" and maneuver my ship, but I can't see Seth's ship (though his selection did appear in the chat window), and I can't see any communication from him.

By Stefan Lenfest (Himosan) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 03:44 pm: Edit

Sounds exactly like what happened to me. Still completely down here. I got "that name is already in use" a few times but I'm back to blank screens now.

I could try and rollback my client to an older version if they are available to download somewhere but only see the current version to download.

Seth, I'm available all day if it comes back up, I'll keep trying but can also ping me at 808-234-9513 if it's up. I'm also free most of tomorrow.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 - 09:21 pm: Edit

It should be good. Sorry, I did not realize people posted here. Heard about it on the Discord server first and replied there.

It is up and running.
