No rewards from failed shuttle missions

I noticed another change in version 10 of the game. Failed shuttle missions don't produce any reward.
You got few trainers and items before ver.10.
However, the same applies also for shuttle missions during faction events. Failed shuttle = no victory points (VP)!
I remember that you got 800 VP in case your shuttle mission failed. (instead of 4000 VP for successful mission)
Faction events could become more difficult for low-level players because of this change.

It's an oldie but a goodie!
I love it.
Failed shuttle mission during faction event gives you some victory points (VP).
You see no rewards in the "Mission Concluded" screen but the VP reward is displayed for a moment (e.g. 800 VP instead of 4000 VP for successful mission). And you really receive these victory points.
Interesting. If they reverted to a former type, does that mean the AND bug is back? I suspect most players don't remember it and they never acknowledged it, but if other things reset, did that, too? I also suspect some of whoever is left at the company may not even know what it was. But we proved it was real.
It seems that Bonus Crew with both Skills might not be boosting as much as they should. I can't tell for sure. But, getting several Shuttles that are <90%, when all three Crew are at least small Bonus and have both Skills on an "&" Seat.....
I think it's possible we're getting all the rewards and it's just a display bug. I just claimed my latest wave of shuttles on an account that isn't maxed out on trainers, checking the total of gold trainers in the inventory after each one - it went up by 4 even on a failed shuttle that appeared to show nothing (except the VP in the separate animation).
Weird if it is a display issue that it only does on some Shuttles. Not saying impossible. Saying it's odd if it is that.
does this mean no more dirty shuttles?
But they originally changed Failed Shuttles because they didn't drop anything. They intentionally made the change. And there was an announcement and communication when they did so.
Its not a matter of “should we” , simple shuttles were the normal succeed or fail. Until they implemented tokens, they also implemented consolation failure at that time. If there is not consolation for fails, there is no incentive to run extra shuttles using tokens.
This is how they wanted it.
If they've chosen to change that back, all they need to do is state that. They have stated they are “looking into it”, leading players to blv is a glitch not an intended change.
If I have 90% Shuttles, I expect them to succeed 9/10 of times and get a reward for it.
But 90% fail far more often.
Given all the other rollbacks we are seeing, perhaps the 'AND bug' has been reintroduced. As we've been begging for on multiple fronts, some communication beyond "Thanks for bringing it to our attention. We'll pass it along to the devs." would be greatly appreciated on the ever-increasing number of issues that are popping up the past week.
