    I suspect a lot of the weirdness with PVE queues is a symptom of the networking problems they've been having.

    I have got something similar just a few minutes ago, but instead of 'fleet' is said 'borg boff mission'.

    And I was queued for an ESTF, but put into a normal STF...

    What's happening is that the system is copying the name of one of the private matches and using it for the "Quick Play" queues.

    I'd categorize this more as a regular fail...

    I havn't seen a epic fail since the "Demoted to Eng -43" bug in Season 1.5
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Heh, it gets better...

    ...this past game day, at one point while looking to que for an Azure run, I came across the pve list choked with 'CGE' and 'cge' labels, that kept flickering between both upper and lower case versions, constantly, like it was some flickering marquee.

    I've been noticing a of of such instability, from doff stuff, pve ques, that all looks like sloppy code, leaking through everywhere, and things not 'remembering' stuff, like boff placement on out internal bridges, and other such places.

    When every mission is just titled like this...is it time to worry?

    Hacker? Are you joking, please tell me your joking? It's just a minor bug when someone creates a private mission and the name appears all over the place. Nothing new, nothing special.

    Yeah, just some display corruption. If you go into the Join Existing tab and look at the top you'll usually see it right there.

    Tip: Check what mission that private group is, then set your filter settings to exclude it. Viola, the display cleans up.

    This doesn't help you much if that happens to be the mission you're trying to join, but in that case set it to exclude as much else as you can so you have less things to click through to find it.

    There is an anoying bug related to the PvE list, but that wasn't an hacking attempt, it just uses the name of a private PvE game for all other matches from time to time. Omfg are just our fleet initials, it is a little disturbing to be focused like this :). But that may explain why we got a random 6th player jumping in our 5 player stf private lobby...

    We prefer 'colorful'.

    The serve was mad, but the volley was perfect.

    Next time it happens, click the very next tab in that window, "join existing."

    I have always found that whatever name is being displayed in place of the mission name matches exactly with the name of a player who started a mission that is running.
    I've never seen more than one name match up to the incorrect mission name(s). Also, while not every mission necessarily displays the string of incorrect text the name that matches it in the join existing tab is always in a mission which is displaying the incorrect title.

    I logged into the game and opened my PvE Queue to join a CE misison, but I find all the available Quick Play missions are named the same thing... And it's something not entirely ... wholesome. I scroll down and it's all the same. I closed and re-opened the queues and the correct names showed for a moment, then quickly were replaced with the dupicate, bad name.

    Mods please remove picture link if this is considered too bad for posting, but here's a screenshot for proof/detail of what I'm talking about:

    Note, other players I chatted with say they are seeing the same thing.

    That's a bug. The queues will randomly change names to names of private queues, and in this case a badly named one.

    It's pretty ridiculous now that we can see that the Queue name could get a lot more Rated TRIBBLE than this. Will this trigger an emergency patch?

    The problem is that private queue names are showing up in the Quick Play window in place of the actual event names. Players had posted about this bug already in at least 1 thread. I've even seen screenshots in some posts about it showing naughty names in the Quick Play window that overwrote the actual names of the various events. How players are able to use such names for creating private queues is beyond me.

    It seems to be just a display issue. You can queue up normally for the various events but if you don't remember which event is which you have to select an event in the list and take a guess according to the picture on the right side of the window with the event details. From what I've seen, it doesn't force you to join private queues or even attempt it. I imagine if it did you would get some sort of error saying you need to be invited first.

    Edit: I think this bug was fixed in a patch on Tribble test server but hasn't gone live yet. Perhaps in the big bug fix patch in, hopefully, a couple days on the normal Thursday patch schedule.

    A bug which should've been squashed in a matter of hours. It's been WEEKS since this bug started appearing in the queues. What's the status on fixing it?

    I don't know, I'm just simply saying that the queue is not TRIBBLE.
