    I haven't used a merc in about a week. I go to get some help with the forsaken mission and somehow I still have 2 hours to go before I can launch my next one. This also happened during the last FM, _and_ during the last Raid. It's really, really frustrating and it's messing with the number of points I can get. A little help, please?

    I went to launch a merc this AM for the first time in over a week and it said 11 hours  22min left. this has happened a lot. 75% of the time i launch a merc and i love merc. it is a great too in the game. i seem to be cheated out of this a lot.

    im having issues with my merc fleets as well. whenever i click on the merc fleet to launch one all that keeps appearing on my screen is the countdown clock saying i have so many hours before i can launch another one. i dont launch merc fleets very often one fleet every couple of weeks proberly, so there is no reason that the timer should be counting down

    I have been having this problem for months, form what I hear every one in our sector is having the same problem.  As I am not good with forums it is hard for me to post things.  This is not a new issue, but it get really bad when you are told some one paid money for ships and you did not get them.  Most of the time I see the gifts given on facebook and they are not on Battlepirates, then when they are, they won't be there if I have to reload the page because of a SOS screen.
    Everytime I log out and back in I lose gifts and mercs.  Lately I noticed that logging in and out also causes time to be add to repairs and upgrades.  I think it might be something to do with logging in and out. 
    Please fix this.
    Thank you

    YOU WILL END UP LOSING A MERC AND NOT BE ABLE TO LAUNCH ONE FOR 12 HOURS



    PERSONALLY  I THINK KIX SHOULD OF HAD THIS SORTED MONTHS AGO 
    I LOSE MERCS ALL DAY LONG AND WHEN I COME TO USE ONE IT SAYS I CANT LAUNCH ONE FOR UPTO 12HOURS

    Selected to launch a Merc Fleet and it said something about sharing with a friend that I hadn't seen before.  Clicked on the Share and it went blank.  Checked outside and found no Merc Fleet and the timer is running down as if I just had one issued.  I was really looking forward to starting the Drac hunt with an Active Merc Fleet, so I could end with a total of 6 used.

    I just noticed this issue. I haven't used a merc fleet for months, but I wanted to launch one at the start of drac hunt2, and I had a 5 hr cd on it. I attempted to launch one when the timer was up, and it was removed from my inventory list for merc fleets, however there was no fleet on the map. Also, when I logged in this morning, I saw it auto launched another merc fleet since then.

    Kixeye when are you gonna address this issue? There are posts from a year ago stating the same issue, yet it still continues. Your incompetence is cost players to loose not only merc flts but show that this issue does not matter to you nor how it is effecting your customers.

    Mine didn't even launch. Just one by one disappeared from my base screen. Had one go each day. Hell, if you can't fix the glitch, just make it so you CAN replace them.

    It all sounds the same, either they just disappear or it says you have launched one and have to wait hours to launch another. Keep sending them tickets, flood their system till they get sick of seeing this problem. Only then will they spend some time and resources to fix this issue. I say either fix the system or Delete the Merc fleet as an option to level the playing field for all.

    I am still having problems with my merc fleets.  Still the same thing if I don't use them within a day they disappear. I have a few friends in my alliance that send me them daily so I should be up to at least 20 but still don't have any.  Had one yesterday and now today even though I didn't launch it, it is gone.

    I haven't had the timer issues many have reported, my merc fleets just disappear from the inventory and I have never been able to keep more than one at a time during the last few months.
    I cannot pinpoint a specific action that I can use to reproduce this reliably.
    Sometimes I only have to go to sea view then base view and it disappears. Sometimes I get to keep it a few hours - I'll do some salving and then it suddenly disappears.
    Merc fleets can be useful as additional base guard fleet or during missions but what I actually find most annoying is that I have no way of knowing who sent the merc fleet and therefore cannot thank them for it.

    Maybe you should just scrap the current method of assigning merc fleets via Facebook and allow members of the same alliance to send them to each other (with a cap of course).

    Don't like the game? Then quit playing so I don't have to listen to you throwing your toys out of your pram and stamping your feet.
