    **bump**

    STILL happening. This really needs to be fixed before any form of space balance pass occurs.

    Don't worry, the balance pass will likely introduce new more exciting bugs that will stick around for months on end, just like previous revamps (off the top of my head, one map, animation, haven't checked ground since the revamp, but wouldn't surprise me.

    I think I've encountered this bug too. Or something like it. When firing front-mounted torpedos, sometimes my ship just disappears, causing the torpedos to go wide and miss. Ship disappears, camera bugs out and zooms in on the spot where the ship was but is no longer, then the ship reappears and the camera stops freaking out. Is this the same issue?

    I always assumed it was a game balance issue, like "you're doing too much damage too reliably, let's just bump your elbow a bit". Happens to me a couple times per battle, no matter what ship, level, buffs, faction, or anything else I'm using/playing. Always the front-mounted torpedos.

    EDIT: Just got word my s/o has been encountering this same problem literally since he started playing the game (he's been playing for, he claims, almost three years). It's worth noting that he drops money on STO fairly frequently, so it's not a money issue. The devs may just not be able to replicate it, and thus may have no real idea what's causing it.

    My s/o suspects it's because there's too much stuff going on -- that numbers that should be being kept track of in the background (shield HP, hull HP, enemy shield/hull HP, etc.) are being changed so fast that the game can't keep up with the amount of stuff it's having to do at once. So it bugs out briefly (I always imagine the Crash Bandicoot "OOGA BOOGA" sound effect here, for whatever reason) until it can get track of itself again. I note the enemies usually miss me when this happens too, so it does seem like the game is having a mini-seizure.

    Why would you think having points in it or using it or not would have any impact on whether it's the cause or not. It would be due to a bug. I don't use it. I don't have any points in it. Yet I can certainly see there possibly being a bug in it that causes it to trigger incorrectly. That's the nature of code.

    because it happened BEFORE they introduced it.
    That's odd because pretty much everyone in any other thread about it agrees that it happened when AoY was released which was when the Temporal spec was released. You're the only person I've ever seen that seems to think it happened before that.

    Also, are you talking about the same issue? i.e. Are you talking about one where you get a loading screen (I've only had that happen once)? Cause that's not what most people are talking about.

    I used to get this bug occasionally. A couple of days ago I started using a spacebar macro to cycle some abilities and now it's happening a lot, several times in most battles. Anyone else find this?

    I'm not quite sure what this is all about but is it like when you in a corner let's say in the Breech and the camera zooms out so you can't see yourself?

    I have had an incident twice on The Tzen'kethi Front where I just launched the Protomatter Bomb and a base blows up. I can't see myself and am unable to 'get back on map' for a minute or so and firing does nothing either. It's like I am backed up against that wall.

    I did figure out a means of fixing it, kind of. At least it seems to. I took my front-mounted torpedos off of auto-fire. It's one more thing I have to keep an eye on during battle -- my ship HP, my shield HP, all three of my trays, whether I can use Singularity abilities (as a Romulan), enemy position, enemy number, and about fifteen OTHER things -- but at least I can actually HIT SOMETHING when I fire front-mounted torpedos.

    For me the b/o and torpedo full spread is what sets this bug off. I know for sure now that when this warp bug activates all the torps disappear and basically you wasted the ability. The Breen mission has to be the worst trigger for this bug. Even NOT activating an ability will set this bug off as I have had it happen with me just flying through the trench.

    No im not talking about a loading screen issue , this is a warp in bug that happen in a map in progress a PVE queue map or a Mission map , And Yes im sure this issue has been around on and off since Legacy of Romulas . It used to happen sporadically its getting progressively worse with each expansion and it comes back and the frequency it happens increases to boot and takes them longer to address it and keep it gone , Same thing happens with the warp animation bugs ships like the Intrepid have , they might get fixed work for a month a new expansion comes and breaks it again , which lasts for another 6 months to a Year. this is a GAME BRAKING Bug IMO along this bug interferes with spacial positioning awareness and seems to cancel abilities but puts them on a cooldown , ive been playing this game casually since before F2P
