Post Event Faction winner "bonus time" shuttles at 100% failure rate?

Commander Sinclair

So.... What up with this? I finished 289, which meant I had around a total 95%+ shuttle success rate in the event. Now with the "bonus time" shuttles for KCA, I can't win a single one, even with my top 5* & 4* crew plus boosts?

Did DB just crank up the difficulty level on this, post event?

So now I have send around 12 or so shuttle on KCA, and have received 0 rewards. (Trainers don't count anymore to me as "rewards".)

I just "can't even", as millennials are fond of saying.

I noticed the same thing. They ramped up the rewards a tad but did nothing to change the standard difficulty. I'm assuming you're honored which means they are a pain in the rear anyways. Would have been nice of DB to reduce the difficulty during the bonus period to make it actually feel worth running them. Just do like me and run Section 31 😁.

I've had some success, but it reverts to your non-event difficulty, which is generally about 65-70% for me.

Pretty much has 2 or 3 each round, sometimes all 4 fail....normal daily shuttles.

happened to me, too. I sent 16 shuttles (including 4 8.5h shuttles). they all had about 60-70% success rate. only one came trough, 15 fails (including all 4 8.5h shuttles). very strange.

I’ve had the opposite experience.....have passed 16/17 all in 70-80%.

[|YoH|] Ashvoyager

I've passed about 70% of mine. Seems normal to me.

Yeah. Would be great if 0* holoprograms would drop from them.

normal shuttle rate for me, at about 50 - 60%

I failed 10/12 KCA bonus runs and decided I had enough Warnog and went to S31 for holoprograms... of course those shuttles show as 65%, with only immortal legendaries staffing them, so the outcome was not much better. Bless the replicator, all I can say.

Capt. Chaos

At least they fail half an hour sooner.

I actually haven't had this issue. But past results are not future guarantees.

I get 3 or 4 successful every time with success rates of 70 to 80 purrcent, so I'm happy ... however, normal shuttles meowtside of events should never have such low purrcentages if you got almeowst only immurrtalized gold crew with high base.

[TUFG] Doctor X

My post event KCA shuttles show a possible success rate between 50 and 70%. and I have had 1 out of 4 fail pretty much every time a few that 2 failed.

JadePhoenix

I was getting peeved with 1/3 failure rates at 96%+

Ulrikk

I'm so tired of sending out 4 shuttles at 75% or better and being lucky to have 2 succeed. This really needs to be fixed, either the success rate or the actual chance of success.

If I had to guess, the display rates are wrong and it may be using the same calculation as if the event was ongoing and bonus crew are helping. Since they aren't, the displayed percentage is higher than it actually is. Either way, it's just another example of something that's obviously broken, but we still need about three more pages of people complaining about it before DB will say it's working as intended and then two more after that before they'll actually look at it.

I got 100% fail for 12 in a row at 85% success. I assumed it was bugged to autofail.

Capt. Chaos

Hope you folks weren't sending any missions you opened before the event ended. Those are autofails.

Magisse

So glad that we now get to have these threads between events too. Definitely an added bonus from the new "winning faction" feature.

On 29 total KCA shuttles with average 76.8% posted chance, 79.3% succeeded.

Thanks for providing actual data

milamber42

Out of my last 1000 non event mission shuttles, the average displayed percentage is 74.166% and the actual pass / fail percentage is 70.8%.

For the month of October (351), the average displayed percentage is 72.4160% and the actual pass / fail percentage is 71.3415%.

What is your proposal to fix this?

My question is in 2 parts: First, how many 4* FF/FE & 5* crew are you using, and are your factions all honoured level that you are sending them?

I have been honored with all factions for quite a while. The last mission logged with Allied standing is mission #1802. I had 3973 missions logged as of 11/2/2017.

As far as crew, they are mostly FE/FF 4* crew. The only FE/FF 5* I have are Arachnia Janeway, 1701 Sisko, Kortar, T'Kuvma, and the Borg Queen. I also have following FE for base stats that are occasionally used if needed: 3/5 Mirror Kirk, 3/5 Mirror Spock, 2/5 Mirror T'Pol, & 2/5 Hollander, & 2/5 Tempted Data.

I have posted stats in the past many times, and the percentages were a lot closer -- within less than a percent of each other. For the first 1000 mission I tracked, the average displayed percentage is 73.2320% and the actual pass / fail is 74.9000%

Okay, that veered slightly off topic, so I am going to ask DB - WTH?

EVERY winning faction shuttle I have sent with the "bonus time" for the past 3 Faction events, has failed at 100% rate!



The only three I sent yesterday & today were 1 crew missions, and either DIP/CMD, SCI/CMD or SEC/ENG. All three had 4* immortal crew and significantly strong boosts!

All 3 failed as usual...

Whhhhyyyyyy??????

I too had 4/4 FED shuttles fail earlier today.. all above 85% which is very odd outside of a faction event. Could be linked or a fluke. I've since been running SEC31 shuttles so can't confirm on consecutive runs. Perhaps others can?

The Great Gornholio

Ive been running FED shuttles all day and have only failed 3 out of 16. Success percentage has been between 60 and 85 mostly. Sounds like a run of bad luck

Are event shuttles about the same?

Commander Sinclair

A "run of bad luck" would be failing maybe 8 or 9 out of 10. Not failing every shuttle sent. After "bonus time", something is reset, because it works normally after that.
