Well, even if you didn't, I'm back just the same. Been spending the last two weeks travelling across this great country of ours, moving my wife out to Milwaukee of all places -- it's a job-related thing, nothing bad.
I note there are several of you who have been waiting for a reply from me via email, so I thought I'd mention the reason for my delay and that I should be in touch shortly.
So, what'd everyone get for Christmakwanzikah?

KevinThis is my understanding of the rules as well.
And you are both correct. 
Gangrel- PM me with your email addy.
I'm not sure how to mollify your fears... Purchases from mj12games.com are handled completely by PayPal. I get no credit card or account info.
If I knew more about the specifics (ie, page you're looking at, browser, etc), I might be able to look into things.
Anti-drone fire does not count against fighter/seeker/striker launch maximums.
I think for the calculation of starship exclusive should be reflective on how much the weapon is really giving up by not being able to fire at fighters.
Exactly. But how much it is giving up depends upon how many points of your opponent's fleet are tied up in fighters.
If, for example, it's an even split between ships and fighters, then giving up the ability to attack fighters reduces a weapon's effectiveness by 50%. Actually, starship exclusive only becomes cost-effective if the ratio of ships to fighters goes below 2:1.
I was actually more interested in your thoughts on the matter.
The thinking behind it was this:
If you create a dual-mode weapon, one mode starship exclusive and one fighter exclusive, the overall multiplier is x1.0 (actually, 1.05, but close enough).
I like the idea of the trait, but I think maybe the reduction is too severe, and of little purpose against non fighter wielding ships.
Well, that's kinda the point.
The trait is used primarily to model genre-specific weapons (e.g. Starmada: Dreadnoughts) and its utility varies greatly depending upon the prevalence of fighters in your games.
As always, remember that the options are all intended as "take 'em or leave 'em" -- if starship exclusive doesn't work for your group, you should have no heartburn about leaving it out.
Oops... I hadn't transferred the files over from the old web host. They should work now.
With the switch to our new web host, we've taken the opportunity to make some improvements to our web pages. In particular, you can now add PDF downloads to your shopping cart, instead of having to make a separate transaction for each file.
This also means that when you download a PDF from us, you'll still have access to the file later, if/when it is updated.
Sweet, huh?
I'm not sure there's enough new material in KLA/RMA/ALA to warrant a separate book...
If the impacted shield facet is already at zero, the defending player chooses a facet; no die roll is needed.
Or is this intentional?
This is intentional.
I am getting "Board attachment quota has been reached"
New restrictions?
No. Possibly a configuration setting I overlooked.
EDIT: Fixed.
On a similar note does this mean that weapons with inv. range XXX have an easier time hitting/impacting/damaging ships with stealth?
Yes.
I just picked up the PDF (still waiting for my download link!)
It's possible that during our server migration, the download link got lost in the ether...
PM me with your email address, and I'll make sure it gets to you.
It seems the transfer is about complete. Let me know if you notice any issues.
Does this mean that carronade weapons can only fire at short range (as if it was medium) since fire at medium range would be treated as long range which they can't fire at?
Yes.
I removed the 24 hull limit from the shipbuilder because I like bigger ships. A 40 hull SDN is soon to follow.
Does anyone else find it odd that the designer seems to be the only one who prefers smaller ships? 
Just an FYI... over the next few days, we'll be completing the transfer from our old web host to our new one. With any luck, there will be no interruption in service.
I want the cover art on a t-shirt
http://www.threadless.com/product/1693/A_Simple_Plan/tab,guys/style,shirt
I'll try to give a thorough rundown of upcoming products soon. But in response to specific questions:
* Starmada Brigade: really, this is up to the guys at Brigade Models. I've made my interest known.
* The Sovereign Stars: the poor reception given to the playtest pack made me shelve this for a bit. I am still very interested in working on it.
* ARES: Honestly, I wanted to work on this, but it never really made it to the front burner. Maybe I'll have a chat with Kevin.
* Tsar & Emperor: I'm hoping a combined GF/GA scenario pack will see the light of day first quarter 2011.
Frankly, it's been an interesting 18 months in my personal life, which has drained some of the time and energy I had available for game design/publishing. If only y'all would buy more stuff so I could make this my day job.
The best part is, the cover art is already done!
