mission tracking window is missing

arrmateys · August 2023

after some recent change made it so only one of mission tracking windows is visible, either the one that lists active missions, or one that shows objectives for currently active one when the player's in its area, and in the gamma quadrant the first one is never visible, because it looks like the map-wide battlezone mission always takes precedence and covers the whole thing up with the battlezone progress indicator.

here's an image comparing it to the badlands battlezone which looks as it should.

The mission tracker is used widely as a source of fast travel in STO to many places for many different activities. A few patches ago, it started to disappear if you are in a map with area objectives with no way to make the tracker appear again while in affected areas, preventing use of the mission transwarp.

This are my current UI with the mission tracker present while in sol system and on ESD ground.

Nukara battlezone

sphere space - allied zone

Dyson ground battlezone

Dyson space battlezone

badlands battlezone

gamma quadrant battlezone

For nukara battlezone, the mission tracker seems to be gone the whole map no matter where you go.
For the Dyson ground battlezone, the tracker is gone while your within a control area boundary, and probably when final phase is active.
For the Dyson space battlezone, the tracker is gone when the final phase of the battlezone is active.
For the badlands battlezone, the tracker is gone while within a control area boundary and while in final area wide phases of the battlezone.
For the gamma quadrant, the tracker is gone the whole quadrant.

The gamma quadrant is the worst one, as the rest you can still beam up into space where the map will likely allow the tracker to reappear. For the gamma quadrant, short of using the regular transwarp, your stranded there (especially if you teleport to the mission "Home" where its far from any nearby map transfer area). Theres likely many other affected areas beyond the ones just shown here.

I’m glad I searched topic. I almost started new thread. Yes this new glitch is quite annoying. You cannot use mission Transwarp on Nukara Prime, Gamma Quadrant, New Romulus when Red Alert is active, Voth BZ if Dreadnougts are spawned. Any time there is a local mission tracker, your story mission tracker is now gone. The Transdimensional Tactics TFO banner that’s always up on Nukara needs to be removed from game, totally useless-if I want to run TT, I know where to go.

As pointed out by someone else, the mission transwarp button from the episode tab is still functional, so thats a current workaround for the moment, which more or less still makes fast travelling functional.

I noticed this in the Gamma Quadrant.

Recent thing since latest update and a pain to boot!
When in an area that has a global goal, Gamma Quadrant as an example, rather than have a separate box like it used to, it now overwrites the mission tracker. Making for a pain if you need to fast travel. Not sure if intended, if so, that sucks!

It's a glitch? I thought it was some new thing they added. I had wondered why on Dyson Ground Battlezone the tracker disappears and just tells you what to do locally in the zone you are in vs showing all of it like it use to. Like when you need to kill voth and want to know for sure if you hit 60 kills, that information disappears unless you leave and enter a neutral area.

I too have noticed it missing when I need to mission warp to an area in space. Glad this isn't a feature they changed.

One of the patches in the last year introduced a major glitch in which the mission tracker will disappear after you jump to the Gamma and Delta Quadrants. To me, that's a problem during Tour The Galaxy because it means you can't track your progress during the mission. If I track my progress, I can make sure I'm flying efficiently.

The only fix for this is to use the transwarp menu, which defeats the purpose of Tour The Galaxy.

a similar problem is happening on nukara prime. it seems the tfo is happening on the same map, so its mission objectives are always visible for everyone on the map and you can't see any of the zone objectives, like the number of collected/required tholian reports.

... only displays "Transdimentinal Tactics", isn't even listed in the mission journal as active.

The other missions are not listed.

They are listed when not on Nukara itself.
