A couple of annoying issues

1. On the Delta Quadrant mission "Reunion" the last part of that mission "That's quite a Mess" (I think that is what it is called) The Radiation clouds are not visible on screen from the Malon dumping. This makes it extremely hard to locate the right position in which to clear the radiation, because you cannot tell where the radiation is even if you are inside the green circle map marker, it can take several minutes flying up and down trying to find the right spot for each one and sometimes you just can't find it at all and have to restart the mission again, still without the toxic clouds on screen. This seems to be a recent occurrence, but I also recall that this same issue happened several years ago and it was fixed but seems to be happening again.

2. Enemy ships are constantly disappearing and reappearing in other parts. You can be lined up on a group of ships all together and then they vanish and appear again in other places, sometimes further away, other times to the side, below or even behind you. This happens repeatedly, no matter who you are fighting, Klingon, Borg, Tholians anyone. it is really annoying having them scatter constantly out of range or off to the side out of you line of fire.

Now I know some will say this is caused by lag and that is what I have been putting it down to all this time, but the other day during the 'Storming the Spire" TFO the same thing happened to the fixed turrets on the landing platforms where the troop transports land. Those things are not supposed to move but then it happened, just like with the ships the turret vanished from the platform and appeared behind me in mid air a good 3 km (game distance from the platform), so it is not lag, it seems to have something to do with the game not being able to keep track of enemy ships or targets properly.

3. Ground skills are not being kept. Setting up your ground skills on the ground to auto execute then beaming out those settings are lost again when you return to the ground and you have to go back and re-enable them again. If you set them then log out of the game while still on the ground and then log back in they seem to stay, that is until you go to a new ground area like the Kobali homeworld or New Romulas, Dyson Sphere etc, it seems for each new ground area you have to reapply your settings and log out in order for them to save. Beaming out and then beaming back on to the planet does not seem to save them all the time.

Has anyone else come across these issues or is it just me?

There is another issue I have but that seems to be console related not game related and that is not being able to select one of the three options for the Nimbus Dance or the Risa Dance mission unless I hold the "A" button down and select from within that menu. I cannot select it in the on screen window that appears. But that same issue also occurs when trying to choose a payment option in the Xbox store, so I think this issue is a console one not an game issue.

    I have a video of the 2nd issue but need to figure out how to share it. There is a 4th issue though that I forgot to mention and that is the camera view. When logging in and gong to sector space for the first time the camera is so far away from my ship it looks like a speck of dust on the screen. But when going into a mission or a TFO the camera is so far up the exhaust port of my ship my face turns black from the soot.

    Edit. Link to video you will see what I mean about the scattering near the end of the video. VideoClip
