Cannot Complete Omega Stabilization on Defara

pacelli1pacelli1 Member Posts: 266 Arc User
This is not new. This has been known for years, but it doesn't look like there is any plan to fix. If Defara (Ground) comes up on the Omega Particle Stabilization event, you can just drop it and forget about it that day. The event does not recognize the collection on Defara and the assignment never ends. And if you drop it and start it again, you don't get different locations.

Not that really matters because it's only worth 1 for the daily, and since you need 2/day, it's not really possible to use this event to meet the daily requirement. There is no other assignment worth 1.

    You can do it on two different characters to get the daily. Unless it's a new bug Defera has been working fine, at least for me. If by chance it doesn't work for you, wait till sector reset then drop it and you'll get a new set (if you rather not do one of the other events).

    What exactly is it doing that's not allowing you to complete the Defera Omega Molecule Stabilization Daily? Is this for both Space and Ground dailies?

    You go down to Defara. You go to an Omega Particle and do the stabilization. When you're done ... it doesn't complete the "Defara (Ground)" requirement for the daily. I can get red particles all the live long day, but it never completes the daily event. Again, this is only on Defara, and it's been this way forever.

    That's strange; I've gotten many molecules from Defera ground before with no problems within the past week...

    Same. Nor have I ever seen a bug report about Defera not completing the requirement.

    OMG, you're right. I thought it was like Endeavors where multiple characters couldn't contribute to the same one. Thanks!

    Like I said, you can get particles on Defara, but doing so does not complete the daily event. You get three place to go. The other places complete, but Defra doesn't. No Q with a choice between Dilithium and a party horn.

    It's been reported every year.

    After doing some digging I did find one other report for this years event. Apparently it only happens in the far left quadrant of the map.

    Really? This is the first time I've read about it and I practically live here in the Support section. It's quite satisfying to be able to provide solutions or help folks with problems they've encountered in the games I play and it leads to an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of those games.

    Yet, I have never heard of this problem before.

    Nevertheless, rather than outright deny your claim, I have to see if this is working, or not working, as you say.
    So, I logged in and took the Omega scanning mission, hoping for a Defera (Ground) scan requirement - and I got it!
    Heading over to the left edge of the city, I found an Omega molecule to scan and sure enough, as you say, it didn't trigger the mission requirement when I finished.
    Heading over to the central area, I couldn't find any Omega molecules but on the right side of the city, I found one, scanned it, played the minigame and had the mission trigger and update.

    So, after testing, I'm able to confirm that Defera Omega molecules don't always trigger an update to the mission.

    You do if you wait long enough - the destinations change every 3 hours or so...

    I haven't had this problem on Defera yet this year. In the past however I have and I found that if I changed instances on Defera it would complete.

    Interestingly I've also had an omega mission problem, although not exactly the same as yours.

    I was playing a Jem'Hadar toon and I got Starbase 39 (ground) as one of the locations. When I got to the system I approached the starbase, but I never got the prompt to beam onboard the station. I tried dropping the mission, changing toons and back again, logging out and logging back in, even closing STO completely, but it wouldn't work. Put in a support ticket but they couldn't help me. I ended up just waiting a couple of hours and trying again, and then just got 3 new locations I didn't have problems with.

    Every 4 hours with sector update.

    SB39 is a very annoying one to get the docking prompt to show up. I don't recall when it became such a small area, but it used to be much larger (like ESD) way back...
    Anyway, fly into the antenna on top of the station and they'll ask if you want to dock.
    (They'll probably send you the repair bill too!)

    Meh - close enough, I suppose...

    One problem I've had with Starbase 39 Sierra is the minigame terminating mere seconds after I initiate it.

    That can happen anywhere.

    Well, if it does happen anywhere, I seem to have an even higher frequency or higher rate of spontaneous mini-game abortions on Starbase 39.

    The problem with Defera in the top left area only ever seems to affect my KDF characters, all others it seems to be fine.
  • pacelli1pacelli1 Member Posts: 266 Arc User
    Okay, so from what I'm hearing above, it's only a problem in a certain part of the map, and it's only a Klingon problem (of course). SO that's why it's never been fixed and probably never will.

    But, hey, let's do a a Klingon Recruit event.
