While addressing the problems with Skirmish..........

Could y'all maybe do something about the random "phantom" Damage" to our Ships?!?!?
It makes it kind of hard to even try to get any Bonus Rewards. Because of the game adding FAKE Damage after or before a Battle, you have to Repair after most Battles.
Either the amount of Damage showing will drastically change between the end of a battle, and the Post-Battle screen, or the next battle will start with extra Damage. It's kind of irritating.

What if I told you not every single nit needs to be picked literally to death?

START the Battle.
Obviously my fault..........
I run the IKS T'Ong and always activate the ship's hull repair just before the battle ends, though it's rare that I ever take more than a little hull damage (<25% and only when the opponent has boarding damage). In all the skirmishes since they were introduced, I don't think I've ever had to select repair over getting the prize, aside from once or twice when I got distracted and forgot the battle had started.
Which is kind of my point. The damage is being applied outside of the battle. Or before it even starts......
Have you submitted a ticket, at the very least to try and get some clarification? That would definitely be a frustrating glitch to deal with, if it's causing you to forego rewards between battles.
Scott, you wouldn’t happen to have another 5* ship you could use, would you? Even though it has less evasion and no cloak, a Cube should have enough firepower to help you finish battles before eating too much damage.
I did through the 200 Chronitons after the third Data Q. Today is my lst day to do the Event. Procedure preceding my surgery is Monday morning out of town.....
I'm done with Skirmish. Now doing the Raid {Event} in the other game I play. It's all good.
Okay. Can you explain how "Boarding Damage" happens BEFORE you start a battle? Because I definitely did forget that was possible.........
But who knows? I hate Skirmish events. I just play it safe with a cube and bonus crew and hit thresholds. I'm not the expert.
If I don’t need to repair my hull, that section isn’t there and the dialog box is arranged differently and everything is OK.
This is just the worst. Really. The worst.
There have been many ppl trying to explain away damage that didnt seem to take place on these ships 8 weeks ago.
((In a set of 5 skirmish battles, You dont end 1 battle with 100% healthy ship then start the next with 80% ship.)) as Mr. Hewitt is stating.
Several threads now about ships, arena, and what has changed.
Not really sure if it applies to your situation, but I used to encounter problems with boxes running off the screen when playing on Steam. Happened if the window wasn't maximized.
I am not stupid, and do not need to be talked to like I am a five year old.
Won't have to be bothered with me after tomorrow any way. Most likely will not survive my surgery, so won't have to hear from me again.......

I'm sure we all hope for the best with your surgery.
I think you might be taking things a little personally, I'm sorry if your personal circumstances might be making you quick to anger. A number of people have tried to come up with explanations for ship damage that looks unusual or is not very obvious, because you are reporting a problem that we don't see so we're trying to help.
Try to keep perspective that I genuinely think most people are trying to make helpful suggestions for you, and not insult you. I empathize with your difficulty of having to use library computers which may not be the most reliable environment, and applaud your efforts to make the best of it and enjoy yourself.
Good luck! I'd much prefer to hear from you tomorrow. If you are in any condition to post, I personally would love to hear from you.
I thought I understood the issue you were reporting, but I had no experience (first, second, or third hand), so I had no explanation or solution to offer. I don't know if it will be possible or feasible, but maybe next time if you can record the battles or do some screen shots, we might see what you're talking about. I bet it would help the devs too. Previous game I played encouraged screen shots.
Anyway, all the best, and I hope there is a next time.
I just find it hard to believe that "damage" happens between the Battles.
Maybe I was not explaining properly. I could finish a Battle and have ZERO DAMAGE. The Post-battle pop up had only the choice of a Bonus Item. Health was at 100% {Apparently} and then the next battle starts with my Ship under 80% Health. Starts that way.
It does not matter. The Skirmish is over. And there was "no problem at our end". It does not make a difference in the long run.
I certainly can’t fault you for being grumpy...hopefully your surgery goes well. People here are pulling for you!
