Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 - Explorer's Anchorage Station - Universal Cartographics Problem

[Abyss Odyssey]

Something is causing a strange bug here!
When you try to send explorers data to Universal Cartographics in
Explorer's Anchorage you may lose up to 80-90% of the data!
Be careful!!!

Dude I am 7 jumps away and I was ready to hand in 2months+ worth of discoveries there, just randomly checked this board and saw this. Dear god...

1. Would you mind to share with us how you noticed this bug and elaborate on what you mean by "lose"?
2. Have you submitted a bug report to FD?

 

[Ozric]

Seems legit...

 

[Redfox]

1. No, that makes no sense on several levels. You seem to have very specific information on this bug. Can you share that information?
2. Here's where bugs are reported: https://issues.frontierstore.net/report-issue

".....you may lose up to 80-90% of the data! "
Or you may not. Do you have anything to show us to validate this notion? What is your post based on?

 

[Hedy]

Now idle people will flood me with questions....

Indeed yes, I would hate to have you shine a light on your opaqueness.

 

[LordFerret]

?

This is akin to standing in a theater and shouting "FIRE!".

Can confirm, I lost about 20 milion credits. Reported it via issue tracker few days ago. No response from Frontier.

Can confirm, I lost about 20 milion credits

Could you, please, specify how exactly that happened? I mean, UC couldn't catch some of the systems you'd discovered and you didn't get money and tags? Or payouts just were way less than usual?

When I press "Sell Page" the loading with "Stand By" starts. Then behind it comes up the list of bodies that I was first to discover - as usual. But suddenly, the list flashes and becomes empty and the "Total" value becomes 0. Loading disappears.

But did you confirm this by checking your income total? How do we know this just isn't a visual bug and you actually get the money? Your claim has not been validated at all!

Until I see some backup from testing by other commanders this report is nothing more than a news report on Twitter and Facebook.

Fly there and find out how it happens. Don’t turn on the fool, youpt.

You're shouting out, yet not giving any detailed information... Is it really that much to ask?

Слетай туда и узнай как это происходит. Дурака не включай, ёпт.

I thought I would translate this for the benefit of the forum members;

Fly there and find out how it happens. Don’t turn on the fool, youpt.

I'm not sure if it's a translation error or what, but hiding insults by typing them in another language is also against the rules, I trust this was just an error. Whatever it still needs proper testing and evidence to confirm. I'm not saying it is or isn't a problem and I won't be around that way for a few months, probably not heading bubble wise until FC's drop so I am not in a position to test, but it needs to be tested and screen caps posted for evidence and then bug reported so FDEV can fix.

 

[Factabulous]

Just needs the bug report (with evidence). Which the OP won't do, so I guess it'll be broken for a while. meh - serves 'em right for counting pennies

Слетай туда и узнай

I'm on my way right now. That is exactly why I'm a bit interested in knowing what to expect.

Why so nervous?

I just wanted to tell him not to be lazy and go there himself and check it out instead of asking stupid questions.

You come in here shouting “FIRE” and then you get all annoyed and upset and start insulting people when they ask “where?”. Very mature.

I would have gladly provided screeshots, unfortunately I couldn't reproduce the bug. After the second time it happened i tried but the rest of the selling data went completely okay. From 10-12 pages of data sold 2 resulted in the bug.
During selling the pages I was constantly monitoring my credit balance. Both times before and after bug occurred there was no change in my commander credits. I mean first I saw below the list of discovered bodies their value. E.g 17,021,032cr. then it turned to 0 and no change in my credits.

I'm sorry, but "stupid" and "lazy" ability to use someone else's experience is one of the key things that make us humans. So to check absolutely everything by yourself is a bit, let's say, controversial approach
