Strange issue with 'instigate defection' doff mission

lazarus51166

At first I thought it was some random fluke of a bug, but it just happened a second time, so clearly it isn't:

Twice now, i've finished the instigate defection doff mission and the end result was a success both times. The thing is, I didn't just get one new doff as a result - both times I got about 6 identical ones. It isn't any kind of weird graphical bug, they were actually awarded. Stranger still, only one of them seems to actually be recorded by the server as part of my doff limit (in other words, I had 460 before finishing the mission, claimed reward, got 6 and the new count was 61)

So, has anyone else had this happen to them?

By not a graphical bug, do you mean you started a new doff project, any project, and slotted those six identical doffs into it? And it worked?

yes its bug. sometimes it shows you get more than one doff but its always just one. its not limited to investigate defection.

I've seen this also when looking at the Roster and selecting 'New Additions' in the restrictions... It's not so much that you received multiple copies, the UI seems to be recognising all instances of the same Doff as being 'new' and shows them all in the list...

This would also explain why your roster count only increased by one, whilst your roster showed multiple 'new' Doffs of the same type...

either way, no crit, no prize.
think of it as, if you succeed, the target defects, but not to your crew. but if you really impress them, then the target defects to your crew.

Incorrect. Instigate defection gives a blue on success, and a purple on crit.

But yeah, it would seem that you only got one doff in the rewards, and the display was glitched.

No, I mean its a bug that gives several identical doffs as a reward when it should give 1

No. Instigate defection is only supposed to give 1 doff. Critical just gives a better quality one

It isn't a graphical error in this case, the doffs are there, in my roster and they are usable

no they are not. maybe you had them from before. it gives you one just when you put recently recruited it shows more than one. but its still only one new recruit.
