Thank you!  We've worked hard to make it responsive, but the 
client doesn't have all the hard work that the server has to
perform.

There are a number of Java development tools that are written 
in Java.  Borland and Together are two examples.

FTJava has made some good strides in the past few months.  I've
implemented the player ordered Damage Control last weekend and it
will go into the V0.8 version.

Our next big push will be the addition of the salvo missiles and 
the user interface to support them.  Once racks and launchers are 
up and running, we can start to have some very interesting FB2
battles.
