I never reported it before because it was, like, super-obvious, and I figured your own QA team would already be on top of it... but it's still there, so I'm pointing it out.
Also, please fix the dual pauldron pads for Romulan females back to the way they were before the Romulan TNG costume came out. The pauldron scale was change to avoid clipping on the Romulan TNG uniforms, but it looks rather silly on all the other uniforms. Could you revert that change, or perhaps offer what we enjoyed before, along with keeping 'wide' versions to the people that want them.
Please?
Elite Scorpion fighters on my Jem Dreadnought during stf's are just vanishing. I start with 12 and slowly lose them until there is like 2 or 3 left. I can not resummon them, can not do anything. And this is happening both in combat and while not in combat. I could be sittin there with my fighters docked or on intercept mode and the fighters will just VANISH. They can NOT be resummoned.
Guess this is not important enough to warrant attention.
To others who plan on buying these fighters or spending money on zen to obtain this ship/fighters, dont. They are not working.
It is not a distance issue, the fighers are flying in circles around my ship, then slowly vanishing. They are all within 1km of my ship, even when they are ALL docked, they are dissapearing, and i can not resummon the missing fighters. The UI windows even show that instead of 6 fighters like there was to start with, there are 2 or 3, and they can not be replaced.
I cant believe that no one is acknowledging this, shows how much they care i suppose.
Ya, they are just vanishing, in or out of combat, doesn't matter. I did not see this in notes or known issues, ive tried to report it, but none of the DEV's are responding as an acknowledgment.
Guess i wont be playing that character anymore

It's about time.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
Please ask the team to fix Reman headgear.
It was recently patched to prevent clipping, but now it clips worse than it ever did previously with the Reman hood.
This change very literally did the exact opposite of what the patch notes indicated.
Thank you, thank you, thank you....!!!
What's a Fohlunat Favor?
Yeeeaaah. That would be it.
Can't fathom how that even got on live.

Also, at the risk of sounding like a broken record:
I'd still like to see the Dual Shoulder Pads on Romulan females restored to how they were before the Romulan TNG costume went live, since now they look silly on every other outfit.
I was doing some testing today, trying to replicate the situation you describe, and what may cause it to happen. I couldn't come up with a reliable reason for it to occur, but did occasionally witness it.
What I suspect it may be (but can't yet confirm 100%) is that the AI commands being sent by the UI buttons aren't always being properly registered by hangar pets, regardless of their current status or distance. It also doesn't seem limited to a specific type of pet. So far, I wasn't able to discern any pattern.
If this is the reason for it happening, then the fact that they're disappearing is probably that they're 'stuck' in Recall Mode, and they are going into their Docking state. To clear this state, try targeting yourself (F1 by default) and hit Escort, then Recall, then Escort again - this should clear them from Recall and back into a state where they will register commands.
We'll continue investigating the underlying cause. Until we can solve it, I hope this workaround helps.

Bort, get some sleep!! :eek:
:P
They have always been the worst of the "native carrier only" hangars, and they are currently starting to slip even further behind, as the other special hangars have had their ability cooldowns lowered to compensate for the new system. Stalker appear to have been left out in the cold.
If ability cooldown reduction would not be favorable for one reason or another, might I suggest just giving them an extra turret and be done with it? I'd really like to use my specialty hangars on my Atrox, but currently they just aren't cutting the mustard. The Atrox is arguably the "worst" of the carriers, it's a bit of a sting to also have the "worst" of the specialty pets as well.

I'm not 100% sure about this but there may be some kind of clash between the old hotkey pet command functions and the new hanger UI commands. I noticed my mesh weaver pets momentarily disappearing from the UI when I had the old hotkey command set to Attack while the hanger UI was set to Recall.
There is also an issue where many hangar pets will no longer use Full Impulse to keep up with their carrier. In large maps the pets end up getting left behind and disappear from the hangar UI.
This one is also on the Holodeck.
They use full impulse in recall mode, but not in intercept. Not sure about the other two modes.
And I had the romulan drones pulling a vanishing act too. They vanish from the hangar interface and then they pop up again later without me doing anything. It was in vault ensnared and they weren't in sight, probably over 20km away or more.
All this happened in holodeck BTW.
Yeah I noticed either 2 things were happening. As you stated they are stuck in recall or there is some kind of bug with using the abilities you put on your tray. Also as well I believe in conjunction with that if you get too far away from them they will disappear for a long while unless they are replaced. A place to really observe this for testing is vault ensnared especially if you go to fight in the nebula with a carrier.
Yeah they are no where near what they were before especially offensively their damage output is only 1/4 of what it was before as well as the health being nerfed as well (great idea behind it but if you have to micro manage all your own buffs and heals for the pets then there is nothing left for yourself).
That seems to vary by hangar, too. Elite Peregrines wouldn't attempt to follow me at full impulse, and vanished when the range was too far.
Blue-quality Delta Flyers, however, did follow me at full impulse.
If the "P" menu icons are active, they seem to overwrite every other command, even if sent after.
The "second in command" set seems to vary between the weapons window and the hangar windows, depending on action and order of operations.
I certainly recommend using the "P" menu icons, and if you want to use the new split-wing commands make sure that none of your "P" menu icons are active. In most cases if you re-click an active "P" menu hangar action icon it will "unselect" it, allowing you to then use other hangar icons at will.

Yay and yay!
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
I'll give this a shot later on holodeck and let you know if it works out. The random auto recall/docking and the no relaunch is making me nuts lol.
Ok folks, I gave this procedure a shot. I worked for getting the fighters back out of docking mode. However, I ran into another problem that started right after the, I'll call it 'recall lock', started. Every once in a while I'd have anywhere from one to three fighter just do nothing. They'd fly out towards the target in attack mode, not engage, and fly off and sit. lol it was humorous in a way. I solved this by cycling intercept and attack modes for the affected hanger. If that didn't work (it didn't a couple times) I cycled a self targeted escort and intercept, then back to attack. That seemed to keep things going until the next recall lock.
Information I forgot: Since the new UI landed, I've only used the buttons on the new hanger panels. Weapons panel is hidden so that's not an issue, and I removed the hanger controls from my toolbar as soon as I had the hanger panels where I wanted them.
And please fix the Romulan Republic female jackets with that ugly clipping through the undershirt as soon as you can.
If it's any consolation, my Advanced Delta Flyers are disappearing too (in Azure Nebula). You deploy them, then, after a while, poof, they're gone. And worse, can't respawn any more! You can press the launch button until you see blue in your face, but the pets stay gone.
