It seems like they add more ships, more consoles, more lock boxes but the same bugs go unfixed for years. Heck, some of the new stuff doesn't even work and is never fixed.

You can read the bug forum for a few pages and find 2 year old bugs. There are players in there who have made it their mission to bump a specific bug post for 12, 18, 24+ months. Broken consoles, broken doffs, broken game mechanics, etc...

My personal favorite: Since the introduction of the reputation system it still takes Hypos and Shield Charges off your player first, before checking the bank or your inventory. The daily re-slotting of these items onto my player and toolbar is a minor annoyance, but really, any competent engineer should of taken an hour or two to fix this years ago.


What's your favorite bug?



Also, please don't move this thread, this is about reminiscing about our favorite game 'eccentricities', we know they won't be fixed, and we're not trying to report them anymore. :D

    My favorite bug is.....


    Not displaying Kits, equipment on your character if you are KDF side. That happens even if you choose Romulan faction and allaying with KDF side.

    This bug has been for aegis, and no one care about that :/

    Lets see, how about we start with the many bugs with the UI.

    How sometimes BOFFs are removed from their station when zoning, without switching ships.

    Toolbar resets as if you switched ships and have to put everything back in place, which is not fun when in battle like an STF.

    Entering Ground and having your BOFF Away Team defaulting to something that isn't even your chosen away team. To correct you have to cancel, go to the Away Team screen to "reset" it.

    Since the last patch, the chat box now appears in the loading screen, and minimizes when you finished zoning.

    Inventory Window decides what size it rather be. (Minor, but annoying).




    Then there is the many bugs with the Tailor, especially on the Klingon side. I love having to put on my STF set costumes and it erases my character's looks and I have to start all over again.

    (Not bugs, but I love to see those stupid tailor windows go or let us turn those things off).

    It has to be that the game still crashes on start up for some people.

    Not a bug but the endless clicking with repetitive tasks like email deletion, being offered the same mission on every login, when docking at a space station, removing loot from the middle of the screen mid battle etc. All those little bits of badly done code that are like nag screens. I want a tick-able list of loot items I never want to be asked about - lock boxes, hypos etc and everything else to be auto loot, I'll pay for a big inventory if necessary. I would rather spend EC on hypos and batteries than be pestered mid fight.


    For me the actual bug that most bugs me are the random resets in the ship UI and stations, it maybe rare but feels like here we go again.

    marauder boff bug, be'ves KHG option not showing up for some, carrier pet AI deciding that flying unto the sunset is better than doing what you want, also the fact that every time you remove a ship from your ship roster, you have to rearrange the tray bar of EVERY single ship(i still think this one is on purpose, to make people not remove ships and simply buy extra ship slots) all of which will never be fixed most likely =[

    The FAW bug.

    The Multi Vector assault mode on advanced escort ships not providing impulse bonus anymore when ship is separated, ever since Legacy of Romulus launch! It's the most hair pulling bug I've had to deal with since I love my MVAE with that console so much and now it's half the fun it used to be!!!

    Probably has something to do with the Romulan Hakoona Warbird which also separates if I had to guess, they are probably both bugged with the same code.

    Most annoying:
    Boff abilities that get tossed around

    Most common:
    Doff suggestions that are TRIBBLE and you actually have to look for the proper ones yourself.

    I'm also pretty sure my cannibal tribble ate my Elder Epohh with a Bow. I can't PROVE anything. I had to put Mr Nibbles into temporary quarantine inside Tovan Khev's inventory until further notice.

    I'm actually hoping the cannibal tribble will eat Tovan and rid me of him. I would like that more than a Voth Bulwark x1000 :cool:

    Off the top of me head, the most annoying bugs.

    1) Borg/Tholian red alerts.
    2) Exploration zones, boff's stuck in terrain, don't beam in etc.
    3) bfaw bug (i don't run a an' atb build but i do use it. It's fun in fleet alerts.
    4) The 2 large lcars displays on the back wall of the new default bridge are upside down.
    5) Computer core's not dropping in defence contract, so no longer able to do salvage dispute daily since lor launch.

    Yea... I have to say no to this...

    We tried the whole "fix all, re-balance" season once, and that didn really work out for anyone.

    Instead we got a full dead-zone with all new bugs and issues, and people still complained aftewards.

    Sticking to the "fix as you go" seems to work MUCH better.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Yep. I've tried that plan as well. Maybe Tovan just need more of them in the inventory, in order to overcome his protection from our honest intentions.

    Would say Nimbus III as a whole, is my favorite bug in the game. But granted, my last run there went absolutely without a hitch. How awkward.

    These are my favourites.

    Having to quit and reload the game every 40 minutes or so because the graphics go funky.

    Not being able to progress further with the main Federation storyline because the game crashes completely during ground combat in pre-emptive strike.

    Not a bug per say, but the constant lag and server disconnects.

    Imperfect World Entertainment needs to get off their butts, and get some better servers.

    ^ THIS so much.. I completely agree with everything azurianstar wrote.. and want to add another small tailor bug that bothers me for years.. no Motion Picture Shoes + Skirts.. 'Nuff said!!!

    As playing Sci most times, certanly the Deflector Doffs that does not trigger/affect enerrgy siphon (my kar'fi still using A2B cuz the 3 purple doffs wont work :( ). Countinuing, i dislike that for autofire graw well can target torps/mines but it wont spawn the well just destroy the mine/torp. and for last one, its not really a bug but noticed that enemy BFAW is superior against hangar ships (fighters especially), i can see my beams miss fighters/small ship ALOT (35 bonus accuracy from skill, trait and nukara console), hangar fighters need much higher defense.

    That must be what caused it! I wish more were complaining about this bug, or is really nobody flying the MVAE in separated mode anymore? I want that sweet impulse bonus back for doing it!

    A lot of my nagging bugs have been fixed, like Department heads seem to be working again. My top 3 right now though:

    -UI think I'm in my shuttle and not my starship. The only way around this is to dismiss/delete all your shuttles and then buy/claim them again. They aren't much EC-wise per character but when you have 14 characters re-buying the one's that cost EC becomes a lil pricey.

    -Romulans have a Fed transporter sound when they log in. Klingons get their sound, Feds get the Fed sound and Romulans get...the Fed sound. Would be nice to hear the Romulan transporter sound which is obviously in the game.

    -The Tal'Kyr Support Craft has disappeared from the game. It is 'under investigation' but last made an appearance over a month ago. Since this part of a Z-Store ship it would be nice to have this working as it should.
