Fleet Operations is a popular skirmish and multiplayer orientated total conversion modification for Activision's real-time strategy game Star Trek Armada II. The project's goal was not only to create a simple "modification" but as total conversion to make Armada II a worth successor to the second best selling Star Trek game Star Trek: Armada (behind Interplay's Star Trek: 25th Anniversary by a small, but fair margin). Version 3.0 includes advanced graphics, a whole new user interface, completly replaced ship models, 5 balanced races with totally new gameplay and tons of new possibilities making Armada II a real real-time strategy multiplayer game.
Patch 3.2.7 is now live! This version is an intermediate patch to fix several long standing Armada and Fleet Operations' bugs.

T his patch - most importantly - fixes the frequent, frustrating multiplayer out of sync (OOS) problems, some of which that have been present since the first 3.0.0 release. These issues made playing cooperative AI games online nearly impossible without resulting in a desync and eliminated the possibility to use wormhole-rich multiplayer maps.
We would like to thank everybody profusely who was involved in those long and tedious (but fruitful!) hours of out of sync testing.
The multiplayer Tunngle integration is also fixed, allowing you to immediately jump into the correct Fleet Operations lobby to play online games!
Although this is not the long awaited next version - rest assured, 4.0 is still well on track. These bug fixes are a direct result of work on our next version.
3.2.7 comes as a full install. A previous installation of Fleet Operations or Armada II is NOT required. An incremental patch from earlier versions of Fleet Operations is not available.

So nothing for us lonely ai players then :P and I thought the big patch was out already damn!
Yes. We are still working on the new game content. You'll have to hold out a little longer. :)
This is great! OOS was a huge issue and was probably one of the biggest reasons for me to stop playing.
Funny since the new version we get out of sync all the time now, even in the beginning of a match...
If you could provide information on the factions and avatars being used that would be helpful: please take the time to post on fleetops.net, thanks :)

Yes, that should in general be a false out of sync - it should only give the klaxon once after upgrading and then vanish :) .
