    Aka, the following missions are disabled:

    Azure Nebula Rescue
    Khitomer Vortex
    No Win Scenario
    Storming the Spire
    The Vault

    Why?!?

    Queue missions have ship requirements to keep shuttles out and Delta Rising has different queues by level bracket. My guess is that they either goofed up on the brackets or forgot to allow T6 ships in some of those and decided it was better to suspend the mission while they rush fixes into a later patch this week than to have them stay live in a messed up form.

    Keep in mind that devs work on different pieces of the same code so these kinds of things could be introduced as errors when fusing together the code base. So somebody makes a spreadsheet typo and fixes it but the error version was in the character artist's copy of the code, for example, which accidentally got used instead of the corrected one.

    but if this is the issue that would affect all pve queues, wouldn't it?

    • Einige Schiffskonsolen können nicht wieder eingefordert werden, sobald das Schiff aufgewertet wurde.

    • Some ship cconsoles can no longer be claimed as soon as you upgrade your ship.

    Say what?! What's got upgrading my ships have to do with fitted consoles?!

    I'm just not going to upgrade any of my ships or equipment until a patch or two from release.

    I always wished you guys would follow the Scotty rule of time estimates instead of the Geordi rule. Watch the episode Relics if you have no idea what that means. lol

    On Tribble there were issues with some consoles disappearing when ships were upgraded (it's basically a whole new ship and they were not slotting correctly or something)... Some of those consoles were reclaimable.

    What I intend to do, just to be safe, is remove most of my gear from my ship (but especially consoles) before I upgrade, then just re-slot everything afterwards myself.

    I dont think we really upgrade the ships, but rather get a new copy of our ship in the 5.5 version. Maybe it is a game mechanic problem?

    So you better unequip your ship before upgrading.

    So this is a console thing...doesn't apply to weapons, right? Cause the Dyson, last I tried anyway, wouldn't let me take off the Proton cannon.

    German Patch Notes
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Well if the date and time of the maintenance are all thats going to go wrong that's probably a good thing.

    That would be neat.. lol. If we could remove the proton cannon, the dyson destroyers will have use again!.

    but if this is the issue that would affect all pve queues, wouldn't it?

    Each queue has its own spreadsheet entries for allowed levels and ships, I think. They could have one that requires a level 66 player in a Tier 2 ship without necessarily affecting the other queue events, I think. They can probably lock out individual species from any one queue too, I think.

    So you could have something like Gorn+Fed vs. ALL Rom+KDF PvP or a queue with Fed Klingons on the KDF side in PvP or the like. Or PvE with spawn point by species, maybe? That might take hackery but seems reasonably doable from what I know.

    I think some of you are misunderstanding the console issue. If i understand the German patchnotes correctly, it is about some special consoles that come with certain C-store ships not being reclaimable from the C-store once you have discharged them. If you don't discharge those consoles = no problem. Still needs to be fixed asap but nothing that will stop me from upgrading my ships.

    As a side note, it might be interesting to have queued events that are all escort/raider/destroyer, all cruiser/carrier, all science/warbird, etc.

    Like a single basic queued event but with difficulty and optionals tuned by ship class.

    I guess there are 2 console issues. ;) Not being able to reclaim a console is one thing (and also needs to be fixed asap, as you say); but them getting blackholed, upon upgrading your ship, is far more serious, IMHO.

    What happened is this: the Tier 5U version wasn't set as allowable to equip the console. So it couldn't be transferred to the T5U ship. I think they got those fixed but they should be able to manually look you up and restore it. Ideally, it should be that consoles like this go in your overflow bag or get mailed to you as a fail safe. It would be a good idea for down the road if they ever end up changing ship console layouts or requirements anyway.

    Basically though, for example, the T5U Fleet, T5U non-fleet, T5 fleet, and c-Store dreadnoughts are 4 different ships in the database. If they forgot to include one of the T5U ships on, say, the saucer sep console's list of allowed ships, the console would fail to transfer on upgrade and vanish with the old ship in the upgrade.
