I'm working on a save state serialization with a few static methods and fields. I could have sworn though that serialization and static's caused mayhem. Should I make all static's transient? And will inflating the calls restore the statics as normal?

Static fields can never be a part of "ser" file. Static + transient is the same as transient.
Static belongs to class, Sterilization deals with object/instance.
Thus declaring static, it doesn't belong to object anymore and cannot be serialized.
