A Mystery at Starfleet Academy

Hi Guys!

I am co-running a smallish fleet. I have noticed that one of our fleeties is online practically all the time. I figured I would go over and say "Hi!" and get to know them.

The roster showed he was at Starfleet academy. I looked everywhere (after a while it became a quest!) in both open instances. Also, while the roster showed him at the Academy, neither instance showed there was a "Fleet" there .

Does anyone have any ideas about how a guy can be and not be at the academy at the same time?

Thanks!

Sev

    Can you join a fleet while still in the FED tutorial? (never tried, would explain)

    I don't know the answer to that. I DO know that almost the minute you enter sector space, you'll start getting spammed with fleet invites.

    It is entirly possible that it is a bug with the fleet system, we had a player who left our fleet sometime ago but had a bug showing him as active in our fleet roster and logged on, after a while it dissapeared again.

    As for joining a fleet while still doing the tutorial it is possible yes all you have to do is send someone a message and they can invite you by right clicking on your user name, you don't have to be present in person as it were. However some fleets do require this to ensure you meet their membership criteria, for instance the CSP and FSF require you to show yourself in person so we can see that you are indeed a Caitian or Ferasen.

    It's also possible they where only logged into the character select screen. The roster would show their last locations when logged out. I had a fleetie who would do that, looked like they were always on, but they'd just be at character select, and watching DVD's.

    I have experienced several bugs in the fleet roster. We had one member who the fleet roster reported as online and on his bridge 24/7 for over 6 months. The same with another member for almost 3 months.

    Of course they were not really online all that time - the roster had glitched, supposedly when their game crashed/the server came down, and as they didn't log on again for a long time, it never updated their status.

    Roster is also glitchy in other ways. I created a bank fleet the other day, and moved an established character who had earned about 3.7m fleet credits into it. To my surprise, despite the new Fleet being Tier 0 and never having had any projects queued or filled, my character had 3.7m worth of fleet credits on the Fleet Roster (yes, the roster itself, and not the lifetime FC earned, etc). Others I invited in to see also experienced the same.
