The rocket competition has a bug where you can't deliver parts to the station because the system identifies your colour as a different character.
I was just in one where my character is called T'Hot had a yellow back pack on but where the display shows the names of the other people on the map yellow had Kraken as the name.
When it came to the rockets firing Kraken was on the Map but was assigned a red back pack but and red and green had the same character name nikon.
There were only 5 of us on the map.
got no rewards from the mission but did get a afk penalty.
Thanks Cryptic.

8 times I've played this mission this morning and 7 out of those 8 this happens. Only saving grace is it will allow you to adjust parts in the 2nd stage to prevent a AFK ban
My clone 'won' the launch and I came in second lol.
yup. my 404 Klingon not found did that
It did happen last year, but not very often. It happened to me once during the whole event then, but I already got hit by it today so I suspect it is happening a lot more frequently this year.
I tried that when it happened to me tonight. It did seem to work, at least I got credit not an AFK.
This year it's been nearly every single time I try and play the damn thing. Tonight there were 5 people present, two of them had their names repeated so two of us could not compete at all. Still took an odd piece etc to join in, no marks, slapped with a 30 min AFK pentaly for no reason.
This is beyond a joke, it's unplayable, but at this rate even a minor bug might get fixed in another year or two.
I had someone else name appear in my Purple Backpack.
Yet the person who had two names gave up after seeing there name twice. The funny thing was, there's wobbled a lot on take off then blew up shortly after. All they got was the Uncommon Stabilizer.
While that's all that showed for mine; I remember I had collected a purple of each part. In part because if someone else name shows in your station; well you are never asked to drop off your parts at your Station. I saved a lot of time, also if you get a lower quality part it doesn't pause to say this part was not useful so try again, you just immediately can!
Here's another later on where everybody got fully purple, since people whose names replaced it's easier.
Still my Rocket almost won with almost 400 Distance. So if anything if someone else name shows in place of your own, they are actually making it far easier for your Rocket Color to win. Those whose names appear twice, still have to play by the normal rules but it won't impair your ability to in fact WIN so I always try.
Still it be nice if they corrected this; not that winning or loosing makes a difference. Though I do wish they would give accolades for coming First, Second, or Third in the Competition, maybe even a bonus of 25 Marks for First, 20 for Second, and 10 for Third! Or coming or finishing First 5x times should earn a title like Rising Warp Theorist, or Leading Warp Theorist for 25x First Place wins.
I also seem to get the First Contact box after every single event I do, even if I've already completed the daily.
