ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carrier Update - Game Maintenance

Missions
Some Commanders had their missions removed unexpectedly. This especially affected Commanders undertaking longer missions. We will restore missions from before the update to minimise the impact on players. Due to the structure of the missions system, this means that any missions taken after the update will disappear. We'll implement this in a way to make this as fair as possible - more details will be shared on this after the maintenance.

The missions may have expired, but presumably you've accounted for that.

Another issue is that people may have had real word time to complete the missions yesterday, but not today.
 
The same server disruption caused an issue whereby sites such as Dav's Hope, the Jameson Crash Site, Guardian sites etc. were not present after the update. These will be restored gradually throughout the course of today, with the bulk being re-added after the downtime.
Is this the same issue which caused Tourist Beacons to go missing, or does that need a separate report? Thanks.
 
I'm just gonna be happy to finally be able to go on an adventure with my squadron. Presuming that I'm able to purchase a Carrier on Xbox when I get home from work.
 
I have spent a considerable amount of time today delivering materials in PP. I will admit I have profitted from the 'exploit' merely in defense to the 5c debacle we face. However I have claimed some of those materials legitamately. My PP rating has gone up as a consequence and I would like to know if I my rating will be reset to as it was? Annoyingly I wasn't far off the next rating before the update but probably won't get on much before tommorow morning so will have to wait another week to benefit
 
Given where the BGS is at the moment, I think I'll just complete what outstanding missions I can for cash, rather than INF. Seems the safest choice until we know what's going to be reset/changed (or not as the case may be) for this patch.

Really? So Davs hope goes missing for a few days and it's stop the server!, Months and years of people's work being undone... Thats not a high priority. Great to know Frontier doesn't care.
The issue affecting Dav's Hope is one of the three key issues mentioned in the post that we're prioritising. We care greatly about the work players put in to any part of the game, hence the Powerplay and missions issue being the other two. To say these are being fixed first is not to say that we don't take the BGS seriously - the dev team know about the issue in that thread and will look to resolve it when they can.
 
I hope you are not going to delete snipe merits, are you? That could destroy a whole week's work for some people!

Translation for devs: Do not roll back held Powerplay vouchers. There was no exploit there and those are tactically very important to Powerplay.
 
Bally well appreciate the update old beans.

Can't be easy simulating a universe whilst also tending to the rest of us that are plugged into the matrix while are bodies slowly waste away, what what.

You boffins over at FDev keep up the good work and try not flush any of our bodies down the waste chute?

Toodly pipsky
 
Greetings Commanders,


Powerplay
A server issue meant that Commanders were able to unfairly advance their chosen Power rapidly. Knowing the importance of Powerplay to many of our more experienced players, we have thought carefully about which steps to take next. As such, we have decided to rollback the Powerplay system to undo the effects of the disruption. This means that Powerplay will return to its state from before the update. This decision was made in the interest of maintaining fair play throughout the community.

I'm curious about the changes to determining the expansion triggers in Powerplay. It was some of our understanding that these would be in effect immediately post-patch.. but it didnt appear that they were in effect. Is that a bug as well, or was it your intention to wait post-PP tick for the new expansion trigger calculation to be in place?
 
Just to be sure: I've completed several missions for the "The Dark Wheel" minor faction after the update. Money, reputation, and influence gained will be reset as it was before the update?

It is not a big problem, it is just to know.

Thank your efforts to fix the issues.

No .. as per Bruce post above

Rewards you've claimed for completed missions won't be affected :)

 
Thanks for the link - I understand the dev team have heard about this one too, although it's a lower priority than some of the other fixes.
This is so annoying that any BGS issues are always "lower Priority" than others, i wish the devs would understand the huge amount of work,planning and organising that Factions put into the BGS some factions have spent years building their faction, member numbers and systems. And to top it all now can't use the fleet carriers as they were originally intended, for use by squadrons and factions.

Just retcon a galaxy wide natural disaster ;)
 
Didn't see anything about resetting rep or rank earned, just the actual missions themselves. I'm hoping this is the case!
we'll see - I quickly flushed and handed in the ones I had left and am now gonna go make a sammich and see if I can remember where I stowed that torch and pitchfork :)
