My merc fleets have been vanishing 1 aday for the last 3 days. I'm not even online when it happens. and not receiving anything from friends. This really sucks. It's bad enough I'm a level 51 and get hit by level 60 and 70 bases every day and no real forsaken tech can hold them out. no chance in this game anymore unless you spend alot on coins.
i have posted about merc fleets before, 2 weeks ago my alliance jumped to sector 476 and thought id leave the gifts and they started mounting up i posted a pic on alliance page of my delight of havin 2 merc fleets and 2 gifts. never before have they built up past 1 lol and then they dissapear if i dont use them straight away. after i posted the pic went back on to see one merc fleet had gone and the timer was on, went back to alliance page to spread my disbelife and then i come on for the raid and the others gone. i do believe this problem needs sorting as these fleets can gather quite a few points for me and i see pics on other pages of people moaning that they had 72 mercs now they have 71
Although I consider Merc fleets to be almost useless, it is nevertheless bloody annoying when, on the rare occasion that I do want to use one, Im told I cant for another 11 hours or so. I should have in excess of 30 fleets in my collection, but as they seem to self launch periodically, I am surprised I have any at all. It has been going on for more than a year now, so either KE doesn't know why it happens, therefore, how to fix it, OR they cant be arsed. I just wish KE were as quick to fix this sort of thing as they are to promote another raid, or screwing with the game play that doesn't need fixing
HarrierWon: Goliath, BS, SC, BC, BCx, Barracuda, Thresher, Triton, DNx, Mercury, HHA, HHB, Stingray, Vindicator, Berserker and a load of other crappy ships that will never be built. (unless we get a refit dock!!)
Tell you what, you auto my base, and I wont control my defenders.
I dont bother launching mercs anmore because they are too slow with too little fire power. We should be able to fit them with whatever blueprints we have available to us. Mercs are obsolete
can we close thsi threat? we know what is causing it (you send a lot of friends a merc at the same time, the first one who launches one will trigger the rest of this bunch to launch too)
kixeye knows this but refuges to spend time to fix it. ergo close the **** threat and remove the mercs from the game
Why close the thread? We can still discuss it, can't we? And if you are tired of hearing about it, perhaps don't read it.
My mercs don't go missing (thank goodness, because my husband never has any, despite and because of never launching them). I have 44 right now because the game just keeps telling me that I can only launch them every 12 hours, despite having not launched one in days. And when I try to launch one, it tells me I have 11:59 left until I can launch one. But I don't have one outside.
Very strange. So I have lots, they don't disappear, but I have a hard time being able to launch them.
I can only launch 1 merc fleet every 24 hrs and not every 12 hrs like it said, and it has been like that for a few weeks Here is a shot of what i saw this morning and some times i launch a merc fleet at night for protection while i sleep and in the morning it is gone and i have not been hit so e=where do they go
The mercs seem to be randomly dispensing them selves. Every time i go and try to get one it has timer on it. first time ran out in about 3 hrs this time i have to wait 8 hrs. I would like to use it but I cant seem to get with its timing. Please fix this, for the record it does it when I am not on.
I stop playing for 4 months. During that time I collected about 60 resource crates, and only 24 merc fleets. I know that not everyone will send me a merc and a crate, but usually I get one of each per day. There does not seem to be a pattern, and I do not have to do anything for the merc fleets to disappear, including logging in. If I don't use a merc fleet, it takes it from me.
Over my time of playing.I am wondering if when a rocket is used it trigger's the launch of a merc fleet,though there is never one shown on the map.Only due to the location of the merc tab in base and the rocket launch in battle.Knowing how the game sometime's lag's on ordered task's..Probably mile's off,but just a thought.
Be-careful of what you SOW,for FEAR of what you shall REAP

I've been at the same count of resource crates for 3 months now. Right at 400 or so. I get notifications in FB that many were sent ... but nothing tallys in the base. Welcome to the gift that is given but never received.
Screw problems with the **** Mercs!!!!!!!!! Kixeye you have more serious problems going on!!!!!! How about fixing the sideways fleet issue first and foremost. Because if that persists during raid it is gonna suck for us players and possibly for you as well with a crapload of tickets being sent in. So screw the Mercs. Fix the main problems first. This has been going for over a **** week. Honestly, I normally am happy with you guys fixing problems fast, but come on. This is getting tiring. Fix it.
Not really fussed about auto launching mercs, how many actually use these underpowered fleets now, they do need a big update however to make them consistent with the tech some high level players have.
They're handy for the low levels, that is about all.

Even when at a low level never found them to be useful.

i log on and see that i have a mercenary fleet. if i dont launch it right then, the mercenary fleet disappears and this has happened many times. ive lost like 20 mercenary fleets to this
As of this morning the Merc Fleets are still auto-launching and disappearing. i am getting very tired of it. haven't used one in over 2 weeks yet i still have 10:29 before i can launch one. this problem has been around forever, come-on and fix this please. submitting a ticket don't do a **** thing. this issue has been going on for almost 2 years now. getting sick of it. i have probably lost over 100 fleets to it. while i realize they are supposed to be free, this is getting to be stupidly ridiculous!
mercenary fleet are they still existing lol mine are gone and if i get one there is always a clock ticking down and sending tickets in does not work
mercs disapear and always there is a clock saying i can use a merc within 12 hours i did have 2 merc fleets before the raid did started and now i got 0,0000
have send in many tickets but how it looks kix cant handle our solve this problem because its there for months now and send in a ticket and you never hear anything anymore of it
i get loads of mercenary fleets sent to me they just keep disappearing 1 min ive got 2 or 3 next 0 and when i do go to use them it says i cant for 12 hours even when i havnt used one for ages then i come back and thats gone as well
Had a few merc base guarding flts vanish during the raid. My main issue is the weapons build of merc fleets. Supposedly representative of what you have available. I mean... ff's with hydra rockets? I havent built a ship with them in prolly a year. Hydras are useless much past lvl 30 or so. Damage yes but no range. I just dont build ships with them any more.
I'm getting tired of getting a mercenary fleet, only to be told I can only deploy one every 12 hours (with a countdown). Problem is I hadn't even used it, so why is there a countdown until I can use the next one? Especially when its the only MF that I have at the time.
like the very first response i sue them mainly for op killing and ever day or time when i log back on the availability of them goes down by one, i wish this was fixed already....
This has never worked correctly... This thread is so old it was opened by the old and moldy Swag, isn't about time we just accept that there are parts of this game that will never work right and close this thread down?
