[TI] Booty Key Repeat Ship Reward

Now that you are now controlling how many ships and designs we can have, Why is it that we are still getting repeat designs in booty keys, maybe it is something you can fix along with the Ship, Drone, Hanger and Compensation bugs that came with the new update. Is there not a Beta that pilots can test before a new update is put online for all pilots to have to test and find the problems for you ? Seems kind of lazy !

 

Hi Lone_Hammer they do run a Beta test on all major updates if you notice it is on (you would find it in Announcements in Forum usually moments before it starts if you watch the Headquarters section it will show in Alerts and also you may notice it in the server tab on your back-page after it has started if you have ships on different servers)... usually happens in the latter stages, as you would imagine, and then they see how many bugs etc are reported and check for 'Feedback'...Sometimes they stop the Test several times during the time it is open and/or try again next days
Some say they dont run them for long enough and even that they dont always fix all the found bugs before the release but as has been pointed out some issues will not rear their 'ugly' heads until there is a full-time server to annoy...

 

The biggest issue is the TEST Server only gets bits and pieces of the NEW Updates and does not have all of the features found in our normal servers. This being said, we are not seeing all of the interactions that would happen on a normal server and thus MOST bugs are not seen. The problem I have with the server wide launch is the fact that they put these live on 2 servers and ran them for a day before going on ALL servers and we had already seen the compensation was messed up, but nothing was done to investigate what the problem was.

If you read the FEEDBACK Threads about different Items (Assembly System, Ship Customization, Equipment in Client, Kuiper Gate) you will see issues that the Test Server presented and guess what, most of the issues were brought into the game platform anyway.

I suggested we get VOLUNTEER Test Pilots to play on a SPECIAL Server that was PRIVATE to them only and allow us to thoroughly TEST items before they were launched and found my post deleted. This is the easiest way to get a thorough test of new items and assistance in finding issues before they are applied to the game.
