    I agree, I have been looking for the same for Months and have not found it, could you please fix it.

    I too understand the workload you guys must have, but I don't think fixing this would be a big problem, we just want to be able to finish chains that are available for us so we can move on.

    PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!!

    Which specific assignment are you referring to? Anaprolean Fever, Correllium Fever, etc - which variant? Or do you mean to say that none of them are coming up?

    They aren't disabled, I can tell you that much. But it will take more investigation to see if there may something wrong with their availability.

    None of them have ever showed up. Sector Assignments, Shipboard Assignments, your Officer assignments (First Officer, Tactical, Security, so on)... the second mission never shows up, with any of it's 5 variations.

    It doesn't matter if you're lvl 22 (when you first get Duty Officers on the KDF side), or lvl 50; it never shows up regardless.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    I too have never seen a 2/2. I have completed a bunch of the 1/2 ones, but have yet to stumble across any of the Biogenic Weapons 2/2 doff missions.

    Yes, I have a bunch of those uncompleted biogenic weapon assignment chains. And they sit at the top of the list, just to be glaring and annoying.

    Yes, those second parts really haven't shown up for a while. Happily I finished them on my primary KDF toon back in February/March.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    As has been said by the other respondants, its all 5 versions of the quest. I have been to all the suggested mission spawn loactions many times, and none of the second part of the five assignment chains pop up.

    If my observations are right even the 1/2 parts of all these mini chains are very very very rare now.

    Not to mention I haven't seen the 'crit grants buff to ground skill' assignments for ages, space buffs all over but not a single ground buff.

    I was surprised to pick up one last night. I haven't seen one for a long time. Doesn't help to find it though, if I never find the second half.

    I've been searching specifically for these part 2's, all of them, every time the doff list resets every 4 hours, for long long time now, and I have never seen them.

    It is clear that the second part of all these Biogenic Chains are broken, not just hard to find. :confused:

    Still nothing back from STO? Can't you guys even confirm what we already know? Can you at least fix this so we can get this chain done pls?

    Borticus confirmed that he knows about the issue.

    What are the rewards anyways?

    Unfortunately, this appears to be one of those strange bugs that I can't fix at the Assignment level. All of the data is correct, so if something has gone haywire then it probably has to do with our availability algorithms. I'm still attempting to understand how they're set up, and what could possibly be going wrong.

    Somewhat related: This may be related to the issue where players claim a few other chain pieces are missing, like the Ghosts of the Jem'Hadar step that keeps getting mentioned.

    We'll keep looking into it. Thanks for getting the word out about this potentially being a Known Issue.

    Yes to all...
    Anaprolean Fever, Correllium Fever, Omega IV Virus, Synthococcus Novae, Telurian Plague

    All of these I have completed the first part on all 5 of my KDF guys and have never seen the second part anywhere, despite much flying to all points of the Galaxy.
    Where are the second parts supposed to appear?
    Perhaps a redoubled effort in searching if I was sure exactly where is was designed to appear.

    They are Rare, but not location-restricted. They should appear almost anywhere.

    I'm not sure about Ghosts. Most people get stuck on 3 and 6. Those are the personal ones.

    how many different data tables are there for determining how often these show up?

    BTW what ARE the rewards?

    Wouldn't that be spoiling the surprise? ;)

    Actually, looks like it's the same reward tables used for the "Contain Outbreak" series.

    The difference being... the "Contain Outbreak" ones show up occasionally, while the Field Test versions have worse odds of appearing than opening a lockbox and getting the top prize.

    Maybe there's an error in the code. The future ones in the other chains don't show up unless you've completed the previous one... maybe for the Field Test ones, it's somehow unable to recognize or realize we've completed the 1st one?

    Just a stupid thought. Maybe the availability is not the problem after all, but somehow players don't SEE the assignment offered?

    Not a new suggestion. One possibility mentioned earlier is that maybe there's too many assignments in that category and it's only displaying the first few. (thus hiding this one indefinately)

    Thanks for your attention to this issue Borticus, I hope it will be fixed so we can all finish this chain.

    I don't know about the Jem'Hadar quest, I finished it and although some of the steps were
    difficult to find, I did find them. These Biogenic Quests are the only ones that I've not finished.

    Thanks again.

    Since the chain seems to work on Fed side, could you please check for pieces of code in the algorithm similar to this:

    if (Player.GetFactionName () == "KDF")
    {
    Player.SetScrewedState (true);
    }

    OR

    if (Player.GetFactionName () == "KDF")
    {
    Assignment.SetAppearingChances (0);
    }

    and either comment out the SetScrewedState call or use the same value you use for the Fed faction in the SetAppearinChances call?
