Firstly love the game, but figured I'd post regarding a couple of issues I've encountered, just in case others have experienced them too.
The first one is when I upgraded from ST RPG to ST Elite. It may be by design but I found that I lost a couple of Award unlocks when importing my captain to Elite. One was the "Rapid Ranks I" award on challenging with a dead captain from RPG, and the other the "Big Tent Award" on challenging with the captain I imported as he'd lost rep with one of the houses since winning the award earlier in the game. - I suppose it's not really a big issue but it would have been nice to know that not all previously earned awards that were active for the captain in RPG would would not also be imported, I kind of assumed they would be as I'd read in these posts that you can't lose a completed award.
The second one is the "Hardcore Ultra" award on demanding unlocking the Stealth Array. I only achieved it on challenging but was able to purchase the Stealth Array anyway - I'm guessing a bug in the code for purchasing the upgrade or the description of the award - I also checked the "Hardcore Captain" award unlock for a new starting ship but that one seems to work as it should i.e. I didn't do it on demanding so can't get it yet.
This one (3rd) has nothing to do with Awards but is to do with completing Surveillance contracts against a Faction which has a Duel of Assassin conflict against another faction. I get a toast or two saying you joined the bounty hunter war on the side of (factions - with duel of Assassin against the one I just completed the surveillance on) - I've seen this a few times and don't really understand how this works other than thinking I just found a wanted criminal with the surveillance - so I guess this could be either a bug or a feature. If it's a feature though, it would be cool to get a remote contract offer saying you found a criminal and then be offered the chance to kill/capture the offender for a certain additional price but since you are already there, distance would be 1 or 2 AU - just a thought.
Finally (4th) I completed a capture contract against the independents the other day and they didn't get a single hit on me but somehow I lost all 15 of my 15 torpedoes, nothing else lost a single point. I didn't even fire a torp, since it was a capture mission. Just thinking it's a bit weird that it happened ! - what can I say It has made me just destroy all the independents that attack me now - how dare they steal my torps and not let me rearm when I raided their ship with my hidden torps on-board !!!.
Anyway thanks for a great game Corey - just wanted to post so you were aware of these possible issues, especially if others have experienced them also.
