This shouldn't be happening, right?

    It's back...yeah, it seems to happen. As I understand it, it's something to do with the way the crit rate is calculated separately. I'm terrible at numbers, but points over 100% success rate roll over into the crit% chance, which is good for helping ensure that you crit.

    But the crit% RNG seems to have an invisible chance to still roll failure, causing the whole mission to fail. It seems to be about 1 in 100, but it probably varies by how much crit is on a given assignment. I've yet to figure out though if it helps to overstack the crit to prevent it, or if that makes it worse.

    I remember it got real bad awhile ago, then seemed to get better, but once in awhile it creeps back in. Keep reporting it and send that screenshot, and it might help them narrow it down.

    While a week or two ago I logged this about DOFF missions, where I saw some say Success or Critical Success and were instead being given Acknowledge Report, to receive ZERO rewards.

    So it seems it can happen with DOFF missions, and Admiralty. Though more often now with DOFF in the last week since I've been watching often I usually see a Failure or Disaster, then say Collect Rewards. This isn't a problem however because if no rewards, there's just NOTHING to collect unlike the first case, where it says Success or Critical Succes yet gives nothing.

    Well they do try their best to resolve BUGs as they can, and I also try to support them as & when I can.

    I'm just thankful & grateful we now have so much to explore &/or do.

    Which I'm sure is the case for many, depending on everyone's situation.

    This has been 'fixed' more then once. It just seems the fix doesn't work.

    No idea if it's still being looked into or not, but it gets reported a lot on reddit so they're likely aware of it.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    I forwarded a report up the chain. For those of you in here that have encountered this bug, can you pass me some character names and your @handle of some effected characters? Also please keep the failed project slotted in the mean time. This will allow them to go in and view some under the hood stuff and what potentially caused it to fail. if you're not comfortable with posting your @handle and character stuff here, feel free to private message it to me. Asking on behalf of the Cryptic team

    It's especially funnier considering it's a Voth ship that failed, since they do have automated defenses systems with their shields thanks to their Reflective Immunity Matrix.
    That's adding insult to the injury for the KDF scientists who asked them to test theirs.

    I had already collected the rewards when posting this. But I haven't done many other assignments on that character since then.

    Character name is Vow Mezel@fleetcaptain5#1134

    It might be because it can round up to 100% and not actually be 100%. I've done mission where it was 1 or 2 points short of max and it said 100%. So there might still be a chance of failure when it says that.

    NVM, I saw the post zoomed in a bit more. It had full points.
