    Same as everyone else. I will be logging on and have a merc fleet and then log off. I will get back on maybe an hour or 2 later and it will say I have launched a fleet even though I wasnt online. Sure wish you would get this fixed

    Dear kixeye if i read it correctly on top of this toppic, you are have now for more then a year this problem.

    i want to say this is pathetic, to keep on expecting from every one to just eat this and keep on going on like there is noting wrong with it.

    still my merc fleets are disappearing for no reason im online and have 3 merc fleet and the next min there is one fleet missing.

    wat are you going to do about it with all the monny you earn from pb this need to be fixt like directly? 

    im not talking about my money i did not pay a lot  because i cant so i realy need the merc fleets.

    so wake up and fix it alredy its realy about time


    with best regards 4735485

    WAS ASLEEP, when the fleet launched itself & started the timer. Ok they time out if not used, but why start the timer as well?

    Seems to me that if I try to send fleets to people, and there's on one on the list to send them to, is when it starts eating my fleets again.
    I hope that's stated clear enough for you to understand, sounds right in my mind, hope you guys can find the solution soon.

    Is this game EVER going to be Glitch free?

    Like everyone else in this thread, I haven't been able to use a merc fleet in a long while. Every time I receive one, it's gone within 24hrs without me launching it :( I think I'm in the neighborhood of actually  launching around 3-4 mercs in the last year. Not holding my breath on a fix anytime soon. Just another reason why I only spend earned FB credits instead of real money. Plus I can't get the links at the start of this thread to direct me to the proper thread.... ?

    I haven't been able to use a Mercenary Fleet in over three months.

    I tend to send them out as gifts every other day, and occasionally get up to three in return. 

    Now.... would it be that sending out Mercenary Fleets gets taken from your own pool?  From other's collection? 

    I would think that since they usually disappear during the time(s) when you're not online, someone has to be accessing some portion of code relating to it at the time of the sending(s), or there is a rogue random sequencer that takes them from players when a different player either uses one, or sends one.
    How can you tell whether your ship is Antiquated?

    You find that it can't do the target you attacked, TWO minutes ago

    Kixeye... I would like to give back all my merc fleets in exchange for blueprints, or resources or maybe even a prize hull. What is the point of having merc fleets if they are (1) useless in combat since they are very under-powered, and (2) they seem to launch themselves so that we can not use them anyhow? 

    Since this has been a problem for over a year and apparently it's too difficult to fix, maybe you should get rid of the merc fleets altogether.  With so many new hulls and weapons coming out all the time and with new glitches being introduced every raid, maybe it's time to get rid of these useless fleets, don't you think?

    Oh yeah, and I can't remember the last time I've seen anyone using a merc fleet on the world map.

    I started out yesterday with 26 Merc fleets I now have 22, I launched a fleet 24 hours ago and used it in the raid. When I got back on 23 hours later it had launched 4 Merc fleets not 2 and its telling me there are 8 hours and some minutes on the last one how come as there are supposed to be 12 hours between launches so should be max 3 with 12 hours to go. I was not in the game between the 2 log ins 23 hours apart.
    I hate foul language as it has no place in any game!

    Same here, with most of what you guys have posted. I somehow launched a merc flt just by doing a refresh. Also I know for certain that approx 10-14 merc flts just evaporated a couple weeks ago. Now I am lucky to get 1 out of 10 fleets sent from friends. Its bad enough losing them at all, from login or refresh so when i see a couple in queue i got excited and thought things were fixed. Guess I was wrong. I also had given up complaining about as I saw no point. It has been going on for quite some time.

    Kixeye,You wanted to know what I was doing when this occured, well I was watching the timer tick down on my merc fleet that I had deployed and as soon as it went to zero and disappeared  I went into  base and tried to launch another one, but it said I had launched my last fleet 7 hours and 57 min and some odd seconds ago Which is impossible. This JUST occurred minutes before I am writing this if a time line would help you, it is now 9:37 am Mountain time.

    I have had, at most, 3 MF's.. then I sign in again and have 2.. then sign in again and i have 1.. (can you see a pattern?).. Then sign in again and have none. In ALL OF THOSE TIMES of me signing in and out not once have I ever deployed the fleet. MF's are a myth put there by kixeye so people can complain about something other than SOS screens and shockwave crashes that are ALWAYS our computers.. never their servers.. sigh..

    Pretty sure servers are fine.  Just never their code!

I use them for low level point during mini raids... thought the update was to take care of the issue?  BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AGAIN!!

    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:



    edit: please see: http://forums.kixeye.com/threads/165030-Mercenary-Fleets-What-Were-You-Doing?p=1613910&viewfull=1#post1613910


    edit 2: previous thread now closed,

    This has been an issue since game started. Many of us I am sure have attempted to look for a pattern but either there isn't one or there are so many bugs that cause them to glitch that  there isn't one sure thing that we should say is the issue as it's obvious that not just 1 thing causes them to go bye bye on their own. Maybe a total revamp of the Merc's is in order at this point as I mentioned previously this issue has been going since game started and I don't mean live I mean "Beta" and many of us would much prefer ability to decide Merc's load instead of the mandatory last thing you unlocked set up we currently see. I truly believe it is a waste of your time to continue to attempt to fix them as they are not what we really want anyways....
