It's completely random who got 18k honour or Data. Some at rank 20,000 got Data, some got the honour. Same with people placing in top 1k.
Of course, where I brutalized myself for 1st in the skirmish, and have a 5/5 Silva who's now never likely to be bonus in another event, and I'll likely never have another 5/5 featured event crew - I got 18k honour (finished 794). Would have liked another star on Data.
I know, I did this to myself willingly. But I don't think blanket compensation here is appropriate. Especially when I get the short end of the blanket compensation stick. Again.
Before breaking out pitchforks I'd like to see how it's re-handled. & keep on the angle of encouraging more focus on proactive QA going forward.
I'd be happy if I could get 4 stars of Silva swapped over to Data, or another crew I earn who'll be bonus in the following event. Then I could have the same amount of stuff that was earned, but be able to use it, as I should, as bonus in an event.
+ keep the 18k honour and/or extra Data for the fuss.
Well, it seems that DB's programming is faulty AGAIN ... which is no surprise. As like as very often lately with their translation of packs, which are hilarious off and funny.
If you give the programmer just @Riker's information
• Players with the event rank 1501 or lower will receive a bonus 18,000 Honor.
he will come up with something like this:
IF %rank is < than 1500 THEN reward %PackageHonour
thinking that "lower" means the range of 1500 to 2
But as human, we can take references and know, that "lower" was meant as "worse ranking then 1500".
• Players ranking between rank 2-1500 will receive a bonus copy of H.M.S. Pinafore Data.
Well, slap your "script kiddy" programmer 2 times and let him change it.
cant be to difficult to write right code with exchanging < with > ...
And yet, I placed 13,025th and got the correct mailing. Something more wonky is afoot...
Probably the ranks are compared as strings instead of numerical value. That way 13000 is sorted before 1500 and 400 after
We're aware of the errors regarding the compensation messages that went out earlier today for the Captain's Oath event. We're working on a fix and are planning on executing that correction before the next event begins on Thursday.
And not that -this- affects me..
But that would leave 1001/1500 who haven't gotten their data but will get their data less then a day to level him before the Galaxy...
(Could effect their event performance)
Lol sorry, had to get the jump on the next person who will actually ask / say that lol
(Bet it's already been said before I hit send)

If you check our fleet chat, I said it was just a matter of time before someone pointed this out.

All I can think of right now is, go to the wiki, make a list of all the ingredients to level him up, and farm them in advance
I have 2 accounts, both top 500, both got 18k of Honor. The right solution is to give everyone 18k of Honor+Data, except for the winner, he should be compensated un another way. Then compensate differenrently again everyone, because removing Data from those who obtained by error will make them anger.
I still want my HMS Data even though I ranked 1724. I'm not happy with the compensation result.
Looks like I might get it after all with all the foul-ups DB has been having lately.

Not to mention those that received Data in error might have already been leveling or fused him. Making it even more difficult to straighten it out.
I looked back to the first running of The Captain's Oath. I think they could have made the mistake of compensating for it instead of current. But if you did not participate in the first one, I think you would get compensation based on the second running which would be the correct compensation. (Otherwise, you would recieve none at all)

Well I can at least confirm they didn't just use the rankings from the original run of the event, I placed 1204 that time around... Which still shouldn't result in the 18k honor I have received

I didn't participate first time around, my account didn't even exist. But I still received honor instead of Data so I don't think that's it.
Well since not the previous Captains Oath. Then it must be a misaligned data type. The structure is probably off by one byte or more in either direction. This would correspond to the randomness people are talking about with compensation. It would have helped if the message would have said what rank we were.
I am forgetting one other possibility that of using the pointer as the value or even using the value as a pointer ( which might be the only way some could get a rank 1500 - 2 compensation of Data)
Is there anymore news on this @Shan clearly a big issue people not getting the rewards they should be it honour instead of Data, Data instead of honour. What is being done to address these issues? I have had a few experiences like this, and CS generally are as much help as a chocolate tea pot.
Comments
I feel for the CS team on this one as it is going to be very hard to come up with a solution that is fair to all
Unnecessary comment removed.

Stay strong, @Shan.

That would make sense except some received nothing, it just seems random.

Captain's Oath 1 --- 544
Captain's Oath 2 --- 709
Received 18,000 honor
This hypothesis was already proven incorrect...
I didn't participate first time around, my account didn't even exist. But I still received honor instead of Data so I don't think that's it.

I haven't claimed the honor btw. But if others did (by mistake?) then that also complicates the issue of fixing things.
