Break The Omega Particle

in Tribble - Announcements and Release Notes
Hey folks,

As one of my many forward-facing initiatives, I'm setting up a testing event tomorrow 1/14 @ 11:30 AM PST (When is that in your Timezone?) on Tribble. My goal is to break the Omega Particle and I need your help.

Last year during the Anniversary event, we encountered some issues with the Omega Particle event ending earlier than expected. While we've applied fixes for it, we want to test out new patches for the Omega Particle before it goes live. In order to effectively do this, we need to stress-test it. That means I need able-bodied Captains like you.

From 11:30 AM PST to 12:00 PM PST, Developers are going to be going on Tribble to play the Omega Particle event in Sol System. We need as many Captains joining us as possible, in order to see how this fabled particle reacts. Keep your eye out when you do, and be sure to make note of any temporal irregularities when you're playing the Omega Particle game. Does end early? Does it continue into infinity and beyond? Does it explode and promptly gib all other non-science ships within a 10KM distance? We want to know!

I'll see you there

    Can't help this time around due to real life. Bummer! But I hope you all find a reproducible bug so you can squash it!

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

    Not sure if this is the thread to report issues with today's test, but here goes:
    • Borg Unimatrix attack was cute lol. Wish that was a feature of Omega Particle collection
    • Only Red seem available
    • the Omega symbol, indicating particle presence is 'iffy' most times I find the particles by scanning
    • the words 'Omega Particle' started showing up at 11:55
    • shard up-conversion starts as per last time in R&D (I had left-over shards)
    • the annoying 'stutter-jump' in the particle collection process is still there. At random points as the process speed increases it's as if I'm momentarily locked out killing any chance of a perfect score.
    • Have yet to get a perfect score, 2100 is fairly simple but stutter-jumps are frustrating and guarantee a <1000 score.

    I had a Stutter Jump at the last second that caused me to get no rewards and the minigame to not end and start counting backwards.

    Was Quite Funny.

    if got the perfect score in a mostly empty instance and yes i also can confirm the stutter-jumps wich can make you miss a perfect score​​

    I don't know if it appeared on Tribble, but on Holodeck, it seems that our new enemy's tampering with the timeline caused the Omega Particles in 'Rura Penthe Space' to be erased from the timestream...
