Oooh, sexy. Maybe my regular opponent could get away from half-remembered shortcuts and the associated undo steps.

@Mu0n729 Does Vassal have issues with satellite internet connections?

I don't know what this implies, so I can't answer you.

You might be better off directing your question at the guys who develop and host the vassal server here:

I only work the X-Wing module for the platform, I'm not tied to the engine work or the other thousands of game modules.

I’ve noticed disconnects occasionally. Especially if you’re inactive.

I've also had these. If I don't do anything for 5 or so minutes I get dropped. I don't think this is anything to do with the X-Wing module, though - it's probably windows or vassal killing the connection. It could perhaps be prevented by sending periodic "keep alive" messages.

I tend to tap the LFG button every 5 minutes or so...
