    EA what are You planing to do with guys who reached Flag ships home one and Chimera without required ships? Delete accounts or delete ships? One guy is high in ships (top5/top15) because of that cheat or bug.

    Doesn't look like they're doing anything. Ignore it long enough and people will stop complaining and forget about it.

    Well, I for one didn't realize it was a bug. I went in to get a four star Chimaera, then after that I noticed the five star Chimaera was open for business so I assumed you didn't NEED five ships to participate. The requirements just said Ghost (5-star), Phantom (5-star) and Rebel Ships (5-star). It didn't say THREE Rebel Ships.
    I believe mod challenges are the same way (until you get to 5-pips). It's absurd to punish people for unknowingly using a bug.

    Several of my guildmates didn't realize it was an exploit either. I definitely appreciate the plight of everyone who did it the proper way, but I guarantee you the majority of people who illicitly got Chimaera did so not knowing it was a bug. So while I'd support EA removing Chimaeras from the offending accounts, I'd only support such an action if they also refunded the credits and ability materials that people spent on them.

    The horse has gotten out of the barn and run away.

    Yup seems most ppl have already forgot about it or they are part of the crowd tht wants u to forget about it cuz thts how they got their chimarea lol. Obviously at this point nuthin was or is bein done about it so all i can do now is be glad atleast my guild mates were able to take advantage of it. I will enjoy my hard earned 7* chimarea an take pride in knowing i earned it the hard way. Im sure the ones tht got it the easy way will bash us n say we are just upset we couldn’t get it the easy way.

    At least the CHS/20,000 crystal debacle, while still a mess, had something that could be considered an explanation given. This issue has just been largely ignored, which is more than a little frustration.

    Can we get an indication that the devs intend to do anything at all to remedy the issue of illegitimate ships playing in competitive game modes?

    Enforcing the requirements on future events is all well and good; but allowing counterfeit ships already released to continue competing against legitimate ones for currency & progress is pretty outrageous.

    I'm pretty sure concerns like these need to be posted in the appropriate thread on the EA bugs forum. It appears that unless a thread crosses a certain threshold of user responses, the issue does not get elevated and therefore never gets seen by anybody with the power to address it. Tell your friends, spread the word!

    The remedy to the vault discount fiasco was to ignore everyone for weeks and then say 'we're looking into it', then ignore everyone for a few more weeks and then when they realized people won't just drop it gave a response. I expect the response here will be roughly the same. Something to the effect of 'sorry 'bout ya, buy some packs and get better stuff'.
