Mission bugs *STILL* Cryptic? C'mon!!!!

Ok, I don't like to say "I told you so!", but I did Cryptic.

(http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=70513)

Open beta was locked down from levels 1-16 for far too long -- and now that I'm a Commander, I'm seeing more and more bugs in Commander missions that would put Open Beta levels 1-16 to shame.

Don't believe me? I have video proof.

This mission was going smoothly until this happened. (see above). I had reported numerous bugs like this all throughout open beta and really only ever noticed it in exploration type missions.

First: Why are the scientists I supposedly beamed back to my ship now cowering in fear of their own shadows once again?

Secondly: Where is the LAST scientist!? Because that last one sure as hell won't let me talk to him until I've rescued all the others.

Thirdly: See point 1.

Broken missions like this make me angry because they could have been avoided!!!

Now I have to go through and *hope* that whatever caused the mission to break will be fixed. Maybe the server or my computer didn't load something, I don't know.

Though this doesn't bode well for you in my mind Cryptic. I've been a staunch supporter and defender for you in the past, but honestly... I told you so.

I told you so and problems like this could have been solved with some forward thinking on behalf of your development team during open beta. But rather than deal with real issues, it appears like you'd rather be inundated with mini-skirt debates to no end when mission bugs like this still exist.

So maybe the next patch (tonight??), your team can address the problems w/ this mission to save the USS Nobel crew.

And there have been other bugs, but this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I also have lost faith in the submitting process in-game, because I still have three pending, NEW, no-reply (not even the standard one) to these issues.

/emote KHAAAN!

    Don't even get me started with that dude. Apparently teaming up w/ friends is frowned upon by the game system... because they'll only award you XP and/or mission completions, but not your friends. Poor buddy of mine on a couple of missions last night got NOTHING.

    Well, I shouldn't say that.. he probably got 1/8 a bar from killing mobs.

    And he's the same level as I am.
