I have question about future releases?

Will there be more command Starbases other than the beginning Starbases, also i would love it if you could colonize planets again and get crew from them. taking all of the aspects like colonizing using starbases too up your crew complements. I would love it if aspects of the old Ghost Comp mod could be adapted to FO that would seriously rock.

There are future plans indeed for the big Mushroom that you saw in the movies . Likewise, the old A1 feature where you received bonuses by planting a starbase above a planet will also be reintroduced in the future

That's awesome, It'll be a nice feature to have.

You can already colonize planets in mods, but Fleet Ops proper will not have colonization - it's just considered too unrealistic for a wartime game like this

EDIT: idiot grammar mistake...

When are you going to release the next version with all the cool stuff?
Soon (in 2 or 3 weeks), later (2 months) oder when hell freezes (half a year or more)?

When it's done  A full redo of Fleet Ops takes time

I'd give it six to eight months from now, but that's only a rough guess based on details that Optec's given.

I'm hoping it will be released before 2013.

will we be able to revert to the older version if the newer is not to the particular persons liking?

if you keep the installation file for the version you want to revert to then almost certainly yes. fleetops doesn't force updates currently, and i doubt they'll add that.

there are some old installs kept here:
Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Old Fleet Operations Releases

but after version 3 final, they only leave the latest patch for download. so if you don't keep 3.2.3 install file (the latest full install) and the 3.2.6 patch, then you won't be able to download them from fleetops.net after next patch launch.

a2files hosts a bunch of old fleetops releases here. a2files doesn't host the latest fleetops installs.

You can install any version you like, the rule is usually to start by installing a main version (file size will be at least 100mb), then install the latest small version that is after that main version, but older than the following main version.

beware that if you do choose to stay at a lower than current fleetops version, you won't find many people to play with online, as nearly everyone updates.

i forgot about moddb, i just checked there, they dont have them all either. 3.2.3 is there, but nothing after 3.2.3

With all these news posts, I'm hoping more for the next few months.  Maybe a summer release.

Yes, there was a mistake with the account permissions for uploading 326 - 324,325 may not be there, but 326 is - just under my account rather than the FO group account. All future patches will be properly added
