Borked Mission - Alliance DESTROYED!

[Ram Paige]

Have opened tickets about this long-standing issue. Of course, there's been no response, but that's another few dozen threads, right?

I'd like to see how many others experienced this.

- Federation relationship got STANK for another mission bug
- Entire REGION relationship borked due to said bug
- Grinding for rank in Federation in EACH AFFECTED SYSTEM
- Making progress (almost 2 weeks of non-stop grind)
- Finally NEUTRAL
- Accept mission to free slaves for rep
- Collect slaves, returning to deliver
- Encounter double-agent, makes offer to deliver slaves elsewhere - IGNORED
- Return slaves to original station with intention of freeing them to Federation - NO MISSION AVAILABLE
- Visit 'double-cross' stations, mission available called "A Mysterious Offer' - IGNORED
- Now stuck with two mission I can't accept, abandon or delete
- 2 weeks pass
- Drop off one set of slaves to 'double-cross' station but...
- Mission now reads 'Redeem your civic duty.. bla bla FEDERATION"
- Accept mission, FEDERATION RANK DROPS FROM NEUTRAL TO HOSTILE
- RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

That sucks. I'm struggling to gain rank myself but that would really wind me up. I'm mostly really happy with the game but I have the biggest issues with missions and mission design in general. Some are vague and confusing, some seem bugged and uncompletable.

I'm happy to hear the news about the 1.1 content and future work like Wings but it's a mistake to continue rolling out features without fixing some of these problems first. FD must see that - so I suspect these issues and missions in general will get fixed in a patch release between now and then.

Best of luck getting this issue resolved.

I don't want to hear about 'WINGS', a Mac port or paid content. I want the bugs fixed in the product I ALREADY PAID FOR!!!

What if it's not a bug?

What if you're not really freeing slaves, but instead stealing them so someone else can just keep using them as slaves?

I've never encountered any rep problems, probably because I stay the hell away from anything having to do with slaves.

Same situation. I had this two months ago. Sandro said it was fixed. Clearly hasnt been fixed. No change in rep at all. Still unfriendly with the result of this. Went from friendly to unfriendly as the result on one scan and have been stuck on unfriendly ever since.

Third time this bug has borked my game. And this time it really sunk me with the FED. I've spent a SOLID two weeks grinding back from the LAST time this busted my game and now I've just lost my ship and a full load of cargo because a station suddenly decided I was VERY hostile!!!



FD, you absolutely suck at fixing bugs and resolving ANCIENT tickets.

 

[dr.zli]

and i got friendly with fed just by trading with a t6. Couple of days, 2 stations go allied and I become friendly with the feds. Lol

 

[_Flin_]

The Federation hates people. Come join the Alliance.

 

[Ram Paige]

^^ except when it sinks as bad as it does with this bug, crawling out from bad rep is a LONG grind with any faction. With the fed, since they're everywhere, being hostile in entire regions really sucks. This basically killed my game.

 

[Ram Paige]

We can now add 'Black Box' missions to the list. If you encounter a double-agent before you obtain the black box (or even if you already have it) the option to deliver it to the original client is not available, forcing you to double-cross and plunge whatever rank you had with the original client into the abyss. In some cases, even that option isn't available. More for the growing list of missions I can't complete:



Almost a month with a ticket, not one single response.

 

[Tilen]

This needs to be looked at, along with the reputation system.

 

[Phier]

Perhaps you should stop taking missions where the activity is illegal being you seem to keep having these issues. Just a thought.

 

[Eagle Eye]

As rule of thumb, I don't do missions requiring USS checking unless it's a simple assasination, even then I checked the target faction so I don't get burned by surprise rep hit. Why did you check USS while doing slave mission anyway. Any fetch/deliver mission, I go straight to destination, no checking around USS for altenatives, because they mess you up.

Result? Allied with Fed and Empire, friendly with Alliance.

Yeah, never go to a USS if you have any mission, it can (and probably will) only make things worse. At best you can complete the original mission after given a branch option, but still lose rep with the other faction due to “failing” the branch… And USS missions are silly anyhow, so don't take them unless you have to for rank progression.

 

[Cat_Astrophe]

I'm allied with Feds and Alliance. Avoid missions that sound even remotely suspicious! Nice, safe "We need some stuffs, be our gopher." missions are usually safe. Keel pie-rats is also good.... but be real careful on the big ones, as they sometimes cheese off the wrong people.
.
Edit: Almost forgot. Once you ARE allied, you can do the occasional hinky mission and manage to stay on good terms.

 

[Avnas]

not a bug you did a mission for a non fed faction against the fed. read the blurb. you were working against the federal congress.

 

[heartorhead]

The more I play the more I can't believe FD dared to call THIS a 1.00 version.

IT'S STILL A BETA.

OP was doing a mission against fed its no bug


"my spies IN FEDERAL CONGRESS tell me you are currently collecting resources for them. as one of their RIVALS, its only natural that i should like to see them fail whilst we in GOLD CREATIVE CORP. prosper. deliver your supplies to MY PEOPLE. I'LL pay well, and we can both laugh at those FOOLS (the federation)"

you're doing an antifed mission.

ITT people dont read anything

if it really bugged out when you met a double agent then just delete the mission in future. obviously dont do the outcome you don't want, lol.

you could probably clear the mission by buying a sidewinder and suiciding then switching back into your ship.

Yes, the OP did the anti-fed mission branch, but only because they were not able to complete or abandon the original pro-fed mission at all since the original branch was no longer available due to the bug in mission branching.
