    Sea Wolves are not available in Merc Fleets nor are Subs or Drac Builds..
    You do realise this is just a game don't you?   
    Do you really care what level I am, where I've been and what I've won?   didn't think so...

    Greetings Captains,

    Since you've first been reporting issues with the mercenary fleets, our Quality Assurance have been trying to localize the issue on our end. We need a little help from you guys as we need to find a common element of what is causing the issue. Please report below specifically what you were doing when you first encountered issues with your mercenary fleets. No detail is too small.

    Thanks guys, we want to fix this as much as you do. :cool:

    Well ... after twelve months and over 39 pages, you are clearly NOT as keen to fix this as we are!   

    Every time I get hit I lose another Merc Fleet...

    I am having the exact same issue and it is really annoying.  Merc fleets show in inventory one day , and the next morning there is 1 or 2 less.  Then I go to deploy the only remaining one I have, and it says I already have one out and I can't deploy one for another X amount of time ( random ).

    Happened again last night.  Had 3 in inventory, saving for the mission.  collected my resources, and then closed the game.  This morning, Same computer, Same browser, Opened facebook, go to Battle Pirates and .... only 1 merc in inventory .  I go to deploy it and it says I can't for another 5 hours....

    MAKES no sense.

    putting ticket in as this is probably the 20th time this happens in the last few months.

    How is it that this problem is still not addressed and fixed yet we have new features and hulls?  I think it is irresponsible of Kixeye to ignore the glitches that still exist and continue to make new features without fixing the ones that are broken.  I have been playing since BI 4 and it has been a constant problem since at least that time.

    To the MODS

    Why keep this thread open?  There's no status update and you're not collecting information that appears to be helping the developers.  Maybe when you close it .. Put a final entry.. 


    WE KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING.  BUT WE'RE NOT SURE HOW TO FIX IT.

    They seem to launch at the same time you get them. Got one of these two hrs ago and the clock started to tick at the same time. I was offline at that time.

    Ok - I had 37 merc fleets - viewed a friends base (from the bottom of the screen) and lo and behold I now have 36 merc fleets - It deployed by itself and I now gotta wait 11 hours 57 mins for another one...

    I'm sick of the timer issue.. I have triple figures in my merc bank, can I launch them.. nope, always waiting on the count down...  pointless having them in the game at all.

    Slow ****, Under powered, Useless fleets. :-)

    they don't wanna fix it cos if they do people will be able to build up enough to use on comps that's the truth and it about time they just fixed it and stopped all the bs, or are you telling us your so bad at your job you can not fix one problem in 2 years hmmmmmmmmm

    In my opinion, remove merc fleets from the game. My friends and I don't even use them anymore. When you can launch one they are horribly equipped and basically useless. Do us all a favor and just remove them. Who would hire a mercenary fleet (that's what you would do logically, is hire one) that suck as bad as these anyway?
    Ever notice how it's always like the same 3 or 4 people
    that dislike every thread started about something that would benefit the
    players? Even if it's a valid idea... Are these Kixeye employees,
    trolling? I wonder.

    only problem i have had with the merc fleets is that i would have more than one then later that day i would have none at all. it was like the game took all my merc fleets away launched or not.

    I don't get it, I go to bed, wake up in the morning and another merc fleet is gone. My guess is Glitcheye is about to start selling Merc fleets for coins, watch for further details!! 

    Is this game EVER going to be Glitch free?

    launched a merc at 9pm last night, logged on at midday today, to find i still had nearly 3 hours left before next one, i know that no one from kixeye is reading this by now, so probably wasting my time, but tend to find these days they launch when i'm away from the computer with it switched off!

    The only merc fleet I had as a gift disappeared before I could launch it. I clicked on the gift box it was showing to be in there but came back and it was gone.
