Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations 3.0 Patch 2 news

So here we are on the track again, greet the second patch for Fleet
Operations. One feature prominently requested finally got it back into
Fleet Operations - it's the save feature that we had to take out of the
final release of 3.0 as some features just weren't working right (beta
testers know what i mean). The reimplementation is not tested yet much,
so if if you experience any issues, please report them right away.
We
also have some bigger new stuff like the updated Klingon Mining Station
model or the updated Warp-In which may give you the good old Excelsior
class now too. And of course again in this patch we have a lot of bugs
and minor issues solved. So then, happy downloading.

Patch 3.0.2 is compatible with 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 installations. You do NOT need to have 3.0.1 installed before you 3.0.2.
