Synopsis of the Issue: The AI apparently keep trying to fly into these borg structures and don't know how to move out of them... Leaving me to pretty much have to solo that mission with my crummy mk 11 white gear... Yeah 2 hours later I'm wondering why I still play...

Yeah... the AI for this mission apparently have the same brain capacity as the developers... This bug is still here after a year... I know because I literally ran into this issue a year ago when I did this mission on a seperate toon...

Salt level: over 9000....

Suggestions for a fix: Delete those structures you have to scan and put in something they won't get stuck on... Than delete that huge structure in the middle so Tuvok can find his way home again... Cuz apparently he can't go home until that thing is removed...

    It's a general issue with NPCs and huge space objects.

    You were still lucky though since you at least could finish it. Once a cube got stuck in those and I couldn't even finish the mission 'cause it became untargetable.

    Fun times....

    I submitted a bug report, but I figured I'd post in the forums too.

    On my KDF Delta Recruit character, I finished A Gathering Darkness and Assimilation without problems. When I accepted the mission for Fluid Dynamics, the map didn't update to point me to the Kuda system, like it is supposed to.

    I flew to the Kuda system, and went to Kuda II and III, but I didn't get an option anywhere to start the mission. I transwarped to the location, which took me to another system, and I had to travel to Kuda again, and still, nothing. Can't start the mission.

    I shut down the game and restarted, but yet, still couldn't start the mission.

    I know the mission was working without any issues that I could see, before the launch of Season 10, as I have 2 other Delta Recruit characters (Federation Talaxian and KDF allied Romulan), and both of these other DR characters started and completed Fluid Dynamics without a problem.

    I hope the patch being applied today fixes this problem.

    Fluid dynamics is also bugged for me on a kdf rom toon. Map does not show mission start area, warps me to wrong system fly to right system map has no marking to show its right system and cannot get a start mission box to appear.
    Tried mission on another kdf rom that has all ready completed the mission and same happens again, but on a fed toon mission is ok with no problems.

    Requested GM help but no answer as yet.

    Already tried that and didn't work. Also tried switching instances and that didn't work either.

    Same thing for me. Seems to be a KDF bug.

    No reply to my ticket as yet, no mention of the problem in the patch notes for today either.
    And yes i have tried dropping it and changing maps and i have made the mission primary in my mission in progress tab and still no joy.

    Cannot finish my delta toon at all!!
    Maybe they should grant us that 1 mission completed so we can progress??

    Lol the last of the four characters I played through this mission had a somewhat different experience.

    The other fed ship, the Klingon ship and the rommie ship just flew around in circles "over yonder" and never engaged the diamond command ship, leaving my sci Cpt. and Voyager to kill it duo.

    This clearly defines to the player just how deep the hull HP pool is on that sob.^^

    .

    Same problem on my KDF Reman Delta, tried all the usual stuff that sometimes sorts glitched missions (instance switch, drop and reacquire, relog). Can skip it, but it leaves the Delta episode arc objective incomplete.

    After patch it is still broken, still trans warping to wrong area and still cannot find a mission start area after flying all around the system.
    Please give us a mission complete on it without rewards and i will do it again once its fixed.
    I cannot complete my Delta toon either because of it.

    Yup...I've finished everything else...before and after...just needed that 1 mission to finish my DR and I couldn't.

    The event is finished today isn't it?

    Delta Recruit still goes until May 21. Doesn't change the fact that this bug with Fluid Dynamics is very annoying. I also pretty much need only that mission now. Should be done with the Breen arc later today. :/

    Verified both issues, KDF cannot play the mission, and ships can get stuck in the Borg structures. Thanks for the reports.

    There's already a fix inbound for the KDF issue. At latest it should be in next week's update.

    Bug of ship stuck doesn't make it unplayable. Happened on my first run of the mission. Made it easy to kill the Herald ship since I kept hitting it's rear. It got unstuck but flying in the structure after the 33% shield node destroying part.

    For my KDF recruit who just picked up the mission, mission transwarp says Pelias system and dumps you in the middle of nowhere and flying to the Kuda system like the mission text says doesn't give any triggers to start the mission.
    This is my Risian Corvette. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    Next week you are having a laugh aren't you!!! So the iconian stuff gets patches over 3 days because its broken yet this doesn't get dealt with until next week.

    Poor KDF coming off second best again.....

    Just give us a mission completed on it without the rewards and we can do the mission for the rewards at a later date when it is fixed then at least we can finish our toons off and go on to other things.

    Yes, it seems to be that way, but, as long as I GET the Delta rewards, ALL of them, I would guess "it is ok"

    And same here. No entry point in the Kuda system for "Fluid Dynamics." Unable to start the mission. This is preventing completion of my KDF toon's Delta Recruitment efforts.

    (Note: Alternate method to accessing this mission (transwarp to Pelia sector) doesn't work either. KDF toon is transwarped close to Aido system; 20,000 EC cost incurred. Pelia sector doesn't exist; no starting point for "Fluid Dynamics" either.)

    Give Cryptic some breathing room. They incurred a round of layoffs recently; they're doing what they can.

    AND brace yourself... if you haven't gone ahead to the Breen missions, you experience another crash.

    Issue exists during the mission Out in the Cold within the Zaria system (during the "Deferi Dilithium" part of the mission).

    Game crashes inside of the mine areas. Usually the player reaches half of the objectives, then the game suddenly closes/crashes. Allowing the client to auto-check the files doesn't fix anything.


    Another broken part of trying to get the Delta Recruitment fnished.


    CrypticFrost, could you guys log this one/get it fixed, please?
