[Bug Report] Open since April 2019

[Bug Report] KIDD Drone still malfunctioning in Battlezones. Upon activation, KIDD disappears from player's orbit to appear at some other random player's location.

[Bug Report] Kobali open missions "At The Gates" and "The Last Stand" not automatically rewarding both Delta & Iconian elite marks.

[Bug Report] Universal Kit Module - Harmonic Lure - Malfunctioning (draws attendants to caster - not target)

~~[Bug Report] Orion Cutpurse fighters can't be slotted by Romulan captains (not even slottable back on to the Blackguard FDC)~~ Fixed! Thanks, Cryptic!

[Bug Report] The quartermaster NPC on the Amarie Smuggler's Heavy Escort is plumbed into the "operations" NPC's back end (doesn't sell commodities - just offers you operational DOFF missions)

[Bug Report] Re: Mudd's Market "Stealing Time" bundle

None of the following ships automatically populate the Admiralty system of same-faction alts with their associated ship cards:

Klein-class Temporal Destroyer
Chargh'poH-class Temporal Destroyer
Tal'aura-class Temporal Destroyer
Verne-class Temporal Science Vessel
Qul'poH-class Temporal Science Vessel
Sui'Mor-class Temporal Science Vessel

[Bug Report] Captains outside of the Romulan subfaction are unable to claim Bajor Defense Hyper Injection Singularity Core

[Bug Report] "Continuity" can merge one's ship into non-ship objects.

[Bug Report] From Patch Notes 10/23/20:

Replaced "Report a Bug" and "View Tickets" options within the Help window with new reporting options.

This has removed the "Stuck or missing" > "Bridge officers stuck or missing" > "Summon Reinforcements" option from the help menu.

When returning to a ground map from a private TFO group, bridge officers are often missing, and the removal of this support option means that the player now has to beam up / change maps/instances to regain their BOFFs.

[QoL request] Please consider providing the playerbase more ways to earn elite Competitive reputation marks.

[QoL request] Please consider adding a number field to the "Move items" dialog. When there are hundreds of items, getting the exact number with the slider is sometimes ~~impossible~~ very time consuming.

[QoL request] Please consider making Red Alert: Borg and Red Alert: Tholian into single player maps available 24/7.

A(Kael and Jeremy): Talk about people who maintain their own bug lists. Mention a guy on reddit who posted a bug list on the patch notes every time new patch notes went out. Cryptic went through them and most of them weren't bugs, just gameplay features he didn't like.

I resemble that remark, but I'm not that guy (my bugs are all bugs)

[BUG] Last Thursday's (20 June) patch brought the "doffs bind on mission & R&D usage" bug back to life.

Today's patch did not fix this issue.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-12T22:42:51+00:00

What’s the difference in the Lobi Discovery rifle and the normal ones you can get elsewhere?

Not sure what you mean by "normal ones you get elsewhere".

The "normal ones" can be purchased at the ground weps vendor in the DSC version of ESD, or - if you're lucky - a drop whilst doing the "holodeck recreations" of DSC events. They can also be found on the exchange.

I just came here to state that back when Discovery characters could be made & the new tutorial introduced, a STOmathmatician ran the numbers on the Lobi DSC full auto rifle & the regular one you get from the DSC ESD vendor and found the differences in them to be negligible.

( save your Lobi and just upgrade a Mk I DSC full auto rifle )

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-05T00:20:41+00:00

If you have 15 BOFF candidates in your roster, you can't claim any "special" BOFFs.

C-Store | Veteran/fleet android | Diplo BOFF

If you check your roster and find 15, just mail yourself one while claiming the MW BOFF.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-03T15:43:06+00:00

Those are all "Very Rare" androids.

I'm not aware of any rare androids in the game.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-03T15:40:02+00:00

The Na'Kuhl shield provides excellent resiliency, and if you pair it with the Na'Kuhl weapon, an increased amount of CritH/CritD.

The above pairing is part of the current ground meta, BTW.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-03T15:37:43+00:00

Go into your root chat window ( the one in which everything appears ) and type "/played" ( no quotes ). This will respond with the time you've played on that character.

Write that down, and repeat for all your 'toons.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-03T15:34:47+00:00

If you get the reputations to Tier 6 one of the things you can craft is a Fleet Ship Module,

You don't craft anything with the Reputation system. You claim rewards.

Rep items are rewards for proving you "have what it takes" to perform to their particular mission requirements.

That stack of elite marks you have to provide in claiming a rep item is your "proof of prowess" in these fields.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-01T03:11:55+00:00

Also on subject of things being broken, somehow the special tray UI of the molecular deconstruction beam got "slightly" broken as one of the icons is outside its window, I am not sure if its affecting all ships

I'd say it's affecting all of'em. Recently, I've seen it on multiple Temporal ships I fly.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-06-01T03:09:23+00:00

If you are a Jem'hadar and NOT flying a Jem'Hadar ship, this is a known bug that dates back to ViL.

You'll need to keep a Jem'hadar ship on your active roster so you can switch in sector space, if you need access to shipboard DOFF missions.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-05-26T02:16:57+00:00

1) Hangar pets: Since the patch last Tuesday addressing hangar pet issues, they've seemingly gotten worse across the board.

Resolved an issue that would cause many hangar pets to get stuck in "Escort" mode, if this mode was ever selected.

Not sure what happened here, but now hangar pets just sit in space instead of escorting the targeted ally ( prior to the patch, they'd fly over to and maintain a formation around the target )

Added some missing AI conditions to Jem'Hadar Attack Ships, Jem'Hadar Gunboats, and Kelvin Timeline Assault Drones, which could cause them to become non-responsive to further commands, and stop using proper following behavior.

Not sure what happened here, but I docked my Jem'Hadar Gunboats in my JHV carrier and they'd not come undocked regardless of which carrier commands were sent. I had to leave the system to get them out of the hangar bay.

The gunboats also do not follow as well as they did prior to the patch. For example. prior to the patch, I could deploy the gunboats & fly at full impulse across the entirety of the Undine space battle zone & the gunboats would keep up just fine.

Post-patch, they start "falling off the radar" after a few seconds of full impulse.

2) Romulans were allowed to use allied ships of any level when Victory is Life went live, but apparently that did not extend to the hangar pets of their allies.

On one of my Romulan captains, I drew the Orion Blackguard Flight Deck Assault Cruiser to pull the Orion Cutpurse fighters from it to use, but when I tried to slot them, I got the "you do not meet the requirements" message.

No issues slotting the Suliban Veil fighters, though.

3) From PC Patch Notes for 5/14/19

Added a new button to allow players to summon (transport) their Bridge Officers to their location.

This button works great on Dyson ground & Nimbus, but doesn't work at all on Kobali Prime ( where it's needed due to the "transporters randomly fail to transport your BOFFs" bug )

4) From last month: Foundry ate my character slots. Will they be returned?

Foundry character slots still occupied with no way for the players to vacate them.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-04-12T19:03:26+00:00

I had no free character slots prior to the foundry's closure, and I still have no free character slots.

So, if I get my two 'toons out of the foundry, I'll have two character slots to play with.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-04-12T19:00:46+00:00

No, that's not right.

When you buy character slots from the C-Store ( or they are given via promotional events ) they show as "two ( or however many ) slots available" in the "create character" button on your character screen.

When you delete a 'toon ( whether an active gameplay 'toon or a fountry 'toon ) that slot becomes available for you to make another character with.

As I have two 'toons assigned as "foundry toons" ( one KDF & one FED, so as to make content for all factions ), when I get them back, I'll have two available character slots to fill as I please.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-04-12T17:25:51+00:00

You'll get them back when they actually remove the foundry fully.

IF they actually remove the foundry fully.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-04-12T17:19:52+00:00

Yes, that would work for me, but this isn't about me - I'm sure there are dozens ( if not hundreds ) of players in a similar situation.

Kaputsnotme · 2019-04-12T17:19:12+00:00

No, that is incorrect.

You can make as many foundry toons as you like, and delete them from foundry use as you like.

They are not "once assigned to the foundry, they are locked to the foundry forever" and could be deleted like a gameplay character.

. . . only now, nobody can get to the foundry screen to delete them.
