[BUG] console launched pets disappear after launch

edited December 2016 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I noticed that when I use the Aquarius console or the chevron separation console the console is activated and stays active, but the launched pet fades out and disappears until the console is deactivated at which point the pet reappears and docks with the ship. this bug appear on both the T5, T5-U and T6 Ody vessels. the issue also is present in the exploration cruiser retrofit's saucer separation console. but it does not appear to affect the multi vector console or their associated ships. I do not know if the other faction ship equivalents to the ODY are affected or not.
affected consoles

Saucer Separation Console (galaxy retrofit)
Chevron Separation Console (T5 Odyssey)
Aquarius Escort Console (T5 Odyssey)
Harrasser Probes Console (Vorgon Xyfius T6 heavy escort)
Multi Vector Assault Module Console (T6 Hestia and T5 prometheus)
Aero shuttle console (T6 pathfinder ship)
HoH'SuS Bird of Prey console (T5 bortasqu)
Tal'kyr Support Craft console (T5 d'ykr)

lockbox/lobi ships/consoles affected

Seshar Assualt Craft Console (T? Elachi Seshar)
Elachi subspace receiver (console)

If someone reading this has the KDF or ROM version of ODY, please report whether or not the console bug is affecting those ships as well. also please post if there is another console launched pet I am not aware of that exhibits this bug.

[updated 12/21/16 to add additional affected ships]

    Can I add the multi vector mode for Hestia(and presuming prometheus) to that list.

    i have both of those and while it is not happening to the Scimitar, due to it not having any separation console like the Odyssey and Bortasqu', it IS happening with the HoH'SuS Bird of Prey, the Aquarius equivalent, as well as all other ships with similar abilities, such as MVAM, the Aeroshuttle on the Intrepid Variants, the D'kyr, have all been reported as being effected by this bug. I've heard that the devs are working on it, though.

    yes I will add it, I was told the issue did not affect it though (I don't own the console or ships)

    the console for the D'Kyr is called "Tal'kyr Support Craft" and the T6 Pathfinder is the name for the Intrepid Variant with the Aero Shuttle

    Elachi Sheshar has two console pets:

    Sheshar Assault Craft: launches, immediately flies away and disappears. Does not return until ability is cancelled.

    Elachi Subspace Receiver: both support craft warp in, then immediately fly away and disappear. Cancelling ability doesn't bring the craft back, but does start the cooldown.

    Interestingly, the D'Kyr support craft fails differently. It launches, flies away and disappears, then immediately returns and docks without manually cancelling the ability.

    First time I got the Multi Assault Fleet Advanced Escort I did the serapation in sector space, and the two pets flow away.
    From the first time I engaged multi assault mode in a combat space sector, the animation was identical to the one i got in open space sector (Sol system) but the pets just fired one or two phaser beams meanwhile they left and disappeared. I hope those info may give you some extra data on how to solve the Multi assault mode separation issue. Happy holidays!

    I should give a little more detail.

    The Sheshar Assault Craft console comes with the Elachi Sheshar Dreadnought Cruiser [T6]

    The Elachi Subspace Tranceiver console can be equipped on the Sheshar, but comes with the Elachi Monbosh Battleship [T5].

    Odyssey T5 Consoles all have this problem for over 4 weeks now. I hope they will actually do something about this now anytime soon.
  • klingon2013klingon2013 Member Posts: 14 Arc User
    Same problem too, with the odyssey t5 and t6. when will these repaired?
  • carcosa#4225 carcosa Member Posts: 161 Arc User
    Just noticed this yesterday when I bought a D'kyr, then found this thread and discovered my Elachi Assault Craft doesnt work either... put in a ticket before I knew it was a common problem, hopefully this will be fixed in the next patch.

    Yeah same here. My Chevron Seperation doesn't work on my Odyssey tacticle cruiser. Iv submitted a support ticket. And Iv got no response. The devs don't seem to be responding to anything atm.
  • rectiirectii Member Posts: 33 Arc User
    Same here...both on my Bortasqu and my Fleet Galaxy dreadnought. PLZ FIX THIS !

    Seems not too hard, as an update caused it, so can an update undo it...
    The Game itself is nothing. The playing of it...? Everything !!

    Well nothing in todays patch, as a matter of fact it wasn't even mentioned as a known issue. Here is the response I got from my ticket, it seems they think it has been an unreported bug. Did anyone report this as a bug in game besides me?

    Edit: I removed the correspondence with staff as it might be against the rules to post that. Needless to say they said they were unaware of the fact that these launch craft were broken. Perhaps people should report the bug in game under the help and support button.

    I also got a reply from support.

    They said it was an unreported bug.

    I think posting communication with Support (however benign) is actually against the rules. Just a FYI.

    Having said that, their audacity of calling this an 'unreported gameplay bug' is quite astounding. :)

    did anyone notice this happened when winter event went live? im hoping once winter ends it will fix itself...
  • carcosa#4225 carcosa Member Posts: 161 Arc User
    Maybe people need to go in game and hit the "Report Bug" option under help and report this as a bug. Seems they are not as aware of it as they should be unless this forum does the same job as the in game report.

    Indeed. I reported it myself as an in-game ticket over a week ago.

    Been noticing this a lot myself as well. My belief is that the recall command is being prematurely triggered after launch and partially completes, causing the pet (saucer, cheveron, vectors, et al) to disappear from gameplay.

    Same issue with my Sheshar Assault Craft. Ticket ID: #4281136
  • schutzengel0010schutzengel0010 Member Posts: 14 Arc User
    I have found a solution to somehow get rid of this bug. I use it, but please notice that this might be seen as an exploit as well:

    When clicking on the seperation ability, whatever seperation ability it is, the ship performs a few second long seperation. During the seperation process you have to quickly click on the same ability again. This way your seperated saucer / other section stays by you.

    The exploit part of this is that a SECOND seperated saucer / other section reattaches to your ship. Now you have your pet seperated saucer / other section as well as your ASSEMBLED ship. Your ship stats are those your ASSEMBLED ship would have without the seperated saucer / other section.

    Summary: double-click on the seperation ability!
  • monkeyman4410monkeyman4410 Member Posts: 18 Arc User
    tried that on a few different ships, did not work on any of them. the pet still flew away as the piece rejoined the ship.
  • schutzengel0010schutzengel0010 Member Posts: 14 Arc User
    I can confirm it doesnt work for both the Multi-Vector-Assault-Mode and the Saucer Seperation. Activating the Sheshars Assault Craft ability allows for the same ability to be clicked again during the seperation process. The MVAM / Saucer Separation does not allow for the second click during the separation process :(
  • azorandreaazorandrea Member Posts: 2 Arc User
    Thanks for repairing the Multi Vector and the Saucers ! :)
