Had a few instances in the last couple of days where the borg red alert is buggy and the boss ship doesn't appear. The circle appears on the map as to where it should be, although no ship!

Has happened in several sectors.

    Ah, guess I've been lucky then.

    Have been playing it several times a week and not encountered it before. Since season 10 it's been happening 1/3 to 1/2 the time.

    Also as writing this the same thing is happening in the Undine Space Battlezone .. one of the three "Planet Killers" boss ships didn't appear. Never encountered that before either.

    Seems to have escalated a little since Season 10 launched :(

    A lot of problems that were 'minor' or even 'fixed' seem to have escalated since the Season 10 launch...

    The Iota Pavonis instance appears to be consistently bugged. It was bugged already before S10, but it used to be confined to a remote sector people only visit for episode missions...now everyone sees it.

    It wouldn't be so annoying if the Borg alert prompt would tell us which sector alert it is, so we could avoid the IP alert.

    Just had it happen in Alpha Trianguli. I was level 55, fighting at level 44.

    And it looks like Psi Velorum still spawns two command ships at least sometimes. :D

    That would be the law of averages then because Psi Velorum likes to spawn 0 when I show up.

    Is it that hard to transplant the code segment from one that doesn't have issues to the ones that do so the behavior is the same? Or make sure to add a simple forced check for spawn at the end of the cutscene - so even if the cutscene doesn't show one showing up it will pop?

    As for two - the same check could be used to make sure there is only 1 of the command types in the zone as it would look for one before spawning one ..

    I had this bug today but with the three Planet Killers in the Undine Battle Zone.

    Not to highjack a thread but I'm not allowed to make new posts yet. It is related to borg red alerts though.

    So I keep seeing the big red alert button while on the map. Push it, max warp to the location and it drops me in front of a borg cube... and that's it. I can't interact with anything, can't enter the event. Eventually the cube just disappears.
