Update to the client has been released. The most important changes have been for the multi-turn arming weapons (i.e. mainly Photons, though the changes also apply to Hellbores)

Eric and I tested it tonight, and it does seem to be working right.
it correctly deducted the energy depending on what we were trying, and end of turn, status of empty came up correctly on the fired weapons.

Question, what does " Pre-Load (No Fire)" mean?
if I clicked on a box that said "Pre-Load" and I couldn't pick "Pre-Load" again, only "Pre-Load (No Fire)"
So I'm not exactly sure what that was doing. Once I picked it by accident, I really wanted to change it back to "Pre-Load" and it wouldn't let me. It would let me pick "Overload+4" or "Overload+8".
USS Tokyo changes the state of weapon Photon #D (FA) to Overload+8 This is exactly what I expected.

WhiteBase changes the state of weapon Photon #A (360) to Pre-Load (No Fire)
WhiteBase changes the state of weapon Photon #B (360) to Pre-Load (No Fire)

Then, during EA wouldn't let me change that one (Photon #B) to Loaded..
Photon #A was set to "Pre-Load (No Fire) and after "clicking around the box" it changed to "Loaded" for no apparent reason. It correctly took out the 2 points of power, however.

On the other ship that said "Pre-Load," they correctly loaded up and were ready to fire after I loaded them during EA.

However, overall, the major bug, not counting the power right and losing your photon state at end of turn seem to be working now.

THE BATTLE CONTINUES!

After consulting his tactical intel officer, Tholian Captian Jim Dauphinias decided to honorably continue his battle with Captian Pinecone's Federation battlefleet, rather than run like a coward. The battle will be continued this saturday, exact time yet to be determined. Will the embattled tholians be able to defeat the might of the Federation, or will they be crushed mercilessly? Stay tuned to find out

Mojo,
"Pre-Load (No Fire)" basically means that the tube is Empty. I think I know what happened with it getting stuck. I will look into the problem right now. Hopefully, I will find it.

For the moment, don't do that.

ok, thank you Paul.

Okay, the Pinecone/Jim Dauphinias battle has ended. We will be doing a write up on it soon. The Feds won after destroying one of the remaining tholian ships and only taking moderate internal damage to their BC.

How should we report this? To terry? I'm not totally sure, so thanks in adavnce.

I reported the result through the tool Paul Franz setup on the SFB Online website. I do not know if Terry would also like to have an e-mail sent to him.

When you submit a result through the web site there is an Email that goes to the judge, the person reporting it and their opponent. So that ever body knows.

I'll have to record that

In reality, I probably won't make it, but good luck to you both, and have a good time
