Hullo, i just thought i would mention that since making a Starfleet discovery character not a single animation has gone the way it is supposed to.
I have other characters that do not suffer these problems and i know what should be happening but is not.

Most of the time it is just a stationary image of the thing with noises in the background, often with some graphical errors like things being inside each other.
The ship doesn't warp in or out properly either.

The very first mission i did after the tutorial type bit after going to Earth space dock was going to Vulcan. I hopped in the shuttle as per normal and... some noises and a stationary image of the shuttle half embedded in the ground. (instead of an animation of it landing)

It is quite jarring during the early Discovery missions that have quite a bit of animated stuff.

If i was a new player who had just finished watching Discovery or something and then came across these glitches i would be quite put off.

    happened to me and it's only my Disco character that's affected

    Same for me, seems to only effect Discovery characters.

    Same, only with Discovery characters.

    It's not just DSC characters - this is happening during cutscenes for other toons playing the Age of Discovery/J'ula's Discovery story missions. Warp effects (including mirror Disco/our Glenn spore jumps), ships cloaking/decloaking, shuttles landing/launching.... regardless of what the animation is meant to show, the ship/object is only visible in its final position without any transition.

    My Mirror Crossfield (DSC toon) spore jump transwarp animation works just fine for me (PC), its the warp in/out animations that are totally broken for all my ships.
    Fingers crossed for the return of the Section 31 Heavy Rifle <3

    I reported this in-game and got a pretty quick response:
    We've received other reports of this same issue. It is a known issue and the developers are currently investigating.

    Unfortunately Customer Service is unable to resolve the issue directly so we will need to wait for the fix to come from the development team.

    From our current information, a potential fix is expected to come on this date: 10/21/2021

    However, nothing about this issue is in today's patch notes...
