I just recently had this happen to me. Signed on to get my ship that just got done being refit and noticed my merc fleet went down one. Its nowhere to be found.
Ok I might as well add my 2 cents in here. Last night at 0130 MST I logged off and went to bed. I noticed that some how the Merc that I launched at approx 1300 MST still had over 5 hours on the timer. Well I figured that this morning I would come in and launch a Merc after I got up. Now after 10 hours of sleep it would seem that I STILL have over 5 hours left on the timer, and I seem to have lost a Merc somewhere in the mix. Not only have I not received any Mercs in the last 2 weeks or so, I have been losing them. I started the raid with around 28 Mercs in my bank, I am now down to 18. I admit I have launched 2 or 3 of them but not sure where the rest have gone. Also I STILL have not been able to accept any Mercs even though it shows that i receive them every day. Did not realize that this was an ongoing problem until recently. Please fix this problem, sounds like it may be related to one of the recent updates.

Several times now I have noticed the many of the same problems noted above such as the timer on merc fleets also merc fleets just disapearing from the counter.
Looking to launch a merc fleet and it say must wait 2 hours, I was sleeping when the other one was launched again. It stopped for about a week for me,now once again they are self launching again and disappearing also.
I used a merc fleet on the morning of 2-5-12 and it worked fine then yesterday evening 2-6-12 tried to use one and it said still had 4 hours and some change and this evening 2-7-12 it is showing 9 hours and 10 minutes and when I have noticed that the count on my merc fleets has dropping as well seems like I lose 2 fleets everytime I use 1.
ID is: 2776327 My base got hit and I started moving around my post and I went from 3 merch fleets to 2. I had deployed one earlier in the morning about 930amCentral time and wouldnt have been able to launch another one til much later in the evening. This is atleast the 7th merch fleet I've had that has magically dissapeared.
This is getting ridiculous.
it has been happining for the past month, i go to launch a merc and it shows that i have already launched one, no merc on the map. ive just been salvaging, so ive been doing nothing different or special. happens once every couple of days or so.

It has happened again, I have now lost two fleets this morning without launching any merc fleets for awhile now but they keep disappearing from my total. They are all going while I am offline so I wasn't doing anything at the time.
It appears that the problem with mercs started at the same time you changed the merc system to display the lower ship in the formation instead of the higher ship. AKA BBs as a flagship instead of the Levis.
Maybe you should roll back that update regarding mercs. they worked fine before.
As for the issues regarding it, it seems at the same time (game wide) if your merc is not launched you loose it. IF you have a merc launched you also loose one anyways. Its about every 24 hours at the same time. BUT here the tricky part, the timers are not al reseting to the same time. they roll back to 9h50M and change. this happens at the same time every day. look back through your updates and find the excat time you launched the merc update. that will be when merc counters reset and people loose them.
For the past week to week and a half I haven't been able to send mercs, and they have been randomly disappearng. I haven't used one in 2 days and I just went to launch one and it says I have 4+ hrs till I can, and I lost a merc in my que, even though I never launched one. I have gone from 31 to 20 in the past week yet I have only lauched 2. I also havent been able to receive them, It will tell me I have a merc from a friend, I will click on it, then when it takes me to my base the merc isn't added to my current amount. Its been slightly frustrating since I use them for salvs and base guarding but I'll be patient as I'm sure you guys will find a solution quickly and hopefully be able to resupply the mercs that were taken.
I went to deploy my merc fleet tonight I am in the 209 sector I have not used a merc fleet in days I went to use one today and the system tells me I have to wait 5 hours before I can use a merc fleet.
Swag I have been getting lots of questions from my friends on why they couldn't launch there mercs and tonight I tried to launch mine and got a count down going, also just noticed my merc count is down and I haven't used any for sometime but since HH's just unlocked I would like to test my merc out so I'm gonna watch the counter and in 52 minutes I should be able to supply you with some info on what happened when the counter reaches 0

I fell asleep but to keep you informed at the end of the counter I launched my merc fleet with no problems and my merc fleet count dropped by one as it should, also the timer was set properly at 11h 59m 59s before next merc launch so that process appears to be working and maybe the problem is no longer a problem I will ask some of my friends if theres is working correctly and I will monitor the whole process to watch for anything that doesn't appear to be working correctly and post to this thread of anything I notice.
well, I dont use mercs, Im a collector and I try to get as many as posible
lol
anyhow, I have currently 150.. earlyer today I had 151... I keep loosing them ALOT.. last few weeks I probly lost 10-12 mercs.
and like today when I signed on I had 151... now its 150 and I cant launch another merc for 6-7 hours..
Its like they get autolaunched to somewhere in space where I get get hold of them.. it dont show that its launched or anything..
only thing is that its missing from my inventory and that I cant launch any for another 12 hours from the time I see its missing..
I guess Kixeye pirates are hijacking them like the pirates they are.. lol ;-)
I seem to be experiencing this intermittently. Some days I am able to launch my merc, however today just noticed that the total had dropped and I am now getting the message saying I am unable to launch for 11 hours 40 minutes......
Dont seem to be able to pinpoint it to my doing anything in particular. Just logged in and done the usual stuff. Banked res, repaired a fleet and hit some salvages.

I have not used a merc fleet in 2 days. I went to get a merc fleet & it is giving me a 10 hour count down. Also I have 1 less fleet (ODD) Had the problem before but this time it took a merc fleet with it & that I never used.
Well I just came home clicked on my fleet as I am about to go and salvage and guess what? UR NEXT FLEET WILL BE AVAILABLE IN 10 HOURS...no I never launched any,this was fixed but now its starting again!Now I can't do as I plan tonight!
i saw that my mercenary fleet would be avalible in an hour so i carried on playing when i looked again the timer started from 12 again and i have used a merc fleet since the last raid
I had problem with my Merc fleets deploying and disappearing on their own previously... When I went to launch one, it told me I had to wait (usually about) 4 hours before I could launch one, even though I had not launched one previously... the number of Merc fleets would be reduced by one and no Merc fleet was on the map to be used.
I gave up deplying them for a couple of weeks and just refreshed my page to see if I could deploy one now. When I click to deploy it, the same thing as before happens.. tells my I have to wait 4 hours before I can launch one, even though I hadn't tried to deploy one for a couple of weeks.... again, the number of Merc fleets was reduced by one and there is no Merc fleet on the waters....
This is getting ridiculous.... I've lost about 4-5 Merc fleets and not been able to use one for weeks....
This has been happening for a while and just found out while talking with my boyfriend that there is a common time. Right now his and mine are at the exact same timer of 7h 50m. Wonder if anyone else noticed this.
I havent used a merc fleet in 2 days and i cant launch another cause it says i have 6hrs left and mine r disappearin as well. id 534771

same thing with me and my son's game too, we haven't use a merc for a week because it keeps telling us that there is hours until we can launch.
I really needed 1 today
Any tips on fixing this prob
I had 18 merc fleets before the event started and had not been using them and then they started to decrease after the event started I had relocated but this has not effected them before it stopped for a bit and then I've started losing them again I just got back to 17 and they dropped off to about 12 now I did managed to launch a merc yesterday myself but still does not explain why the keep going.
