What's with the glitches?

[Kryndude]

Like my wormhole station name tag color would occassionally turn red for no reason, and anonmally tag won't show up properly before I reset the display by existing galaxy map mode and entering it again.

Also, why does the ship list when splitting fleet manually keep going back up again whenever I click one ship? It's super inconvenient.

And upgrade ship behavior; why would some ships try to travel randomly to a nearby station to upgrade when I've given them orders to upgrade at the station that they're currently parked on? I see them trying to move, so I manually right-click the planet and click the upgrade button, then they'll stay there but wait for an imaginary fleet to finish upgrading prior to them.

I hope these get dealt with soon.

To help them be dealt with, I suggest you log each one in the bug reports thread with saves and/or screenshots.

I assumed they're already reported, but I'll try and do that next time I play.

Never assume - there might be a long string of people making the same assumption!

Do they pay for bug reports now? Because that's not our job.

Then don't do it? This was more for people who care about the state of the game.

Plenty of folks care about the state of the game without being interested in performing unpaid labor.

Do you want the bugs fixed? How can something be fixed if it's not logged?

The question is, "logged by who?"

Have you ever head of QA?

So...you feel it would be better if people posted their glitches here in the main forum...and just hope someone magically sees it rather than the location where it should be?

If you've taken the time to post about a glitch you could have posted it in bug reports.

In any case, this is not an argument - if you want bugs or glitches to be fixed you should post them in the bug reports forum because they'll actually be seen by the right people there.

Let's move on.

Nah, I just don't agree with the premise that any and all discussion of glitches should be automatically shut down here, nor do I agree with the premise that obsessively documenting glitches is the player's job. The reality is literally the opposite of that.

Also, lots of folks aren't interested in connecting their steam account with the forums (in a world of relentlessly compromised databases, it's an objectively bad idea), and therefore do not even have access to the bug forum, for example.

Beyond all of that, there is more to discuss about a glitch than it's mere presence, after all.

The only one prevent discussion of it is you with your relentless arguing for a thread which isn't even yours.

Considering that the OP has connected his account he's more than able to make a bug report.

This thread is being locked due to repeated derailings and arguments.

@Kryndude feel free to start a new thread discussing this if you want, or post bug reports with a save it you want this to have a better chance of being looked at.

@Fawks I strongly suggest you take it easy with pursuing an agenda. Arguing and going off topic is against the forum rules, and I'm sure the OP is quite capable of making up their own mind on this issue.
