Re-release
On October 26, 2006 Strategy First re-released Fleet Command as SCS-Fleet Command, without the "Jane's" branding. It was released as part of a three-game retail package called Naval Combat Pack(NCP), which also included 688(I) Hunter/Killer and Sub Command and also includes a video CD "A Century of Silent Service." The changes in the new release are as follows:
- Removal of all references to the name "Jane's" in both text and art work
- Data revised using unclassified sources
- Reworked rendering engine to be DirectX 9.0c and Windows XP compatible
- Minor code improvements to improve Windows XP compatibility
The SCS-FC re-release has so far been quite reliable, stable and crash free. The graphics are smoother than before, but not using the Direct3D video mode instead of the 3dfx results in a darker 3D video display. The 3dfx compatibility was retained and some players have reported better graphics using a Glide wrapper.
The 2006 version of Fleet Command was also released on GameTap as of Thursday, March 20, 2008.
