Venture: Questions, bugs, feedbacks...

Anyone has any idea what on earth are 5 Colossus, 3 Chthonius and 3 Helios doing in my inventory?

Just spotted the first ship by a recognised Ego forum member ...That is if it is Pref ..DIH-111 slovenly flown by one of those green slimy things..... If it was a Pref ship then no harm was done.
Sure would be nice to send/attach a message to say where the ship has been ...

Same to all the above.... also noticed that no Pilots of Venture ships have not always received a rank increase. Sent the same guy three times on a 1hr venture and a 2hr venture, still stuck on no-stars.

I've heard of that before. It should also be fixed in the next patch, according to the beta forum.

Yep I've noticed that too. Then again I'm pretty sure the pilot rank increases are basically totally broken. I'm saving all the training manuals I can in hopes that they get fixed in 2.0 though!

It's one of the bugs allegedly fixed in 1.60b3.

I just received 1 boarding star for 3 of my marines onboard. And 2 marines and 2 defence drone and about 6% hull missiong asa well. Happened on a Gorgone in 8 hrs venture. With a Perseus docked, vanished as well
And nothing for pilot, and I can't see venture results, I need to look in inventory and assume what the reward was (flashing "click to see result" eventually changed in "successful")...

Boarding rank seems to increase... but Pilot Venture doesn't.

A good way to train marines, then. I'll keep that in mind. I still have to get into boarding, and my only attempt so far ended into an abysmal failure. (My attacking ships blew up the target before I could call them off.)
I'll guess have to check out the tutorials. and a few videos.

Boarding is the by far easiest part of the game; nothing compared to X3 or X:Rebirth.

EDIT: All tutorials I have seen make it look much more complicated than it is.

I just checked last night: Neither the captain or the crew of the ship I"ve sent on 50+ ventures gained any stars/ranks. I don't have any marines on it though.

Also I realized that my probability of success on the hour ventures is low but I've been using the same ship for over 50 ventures and never lost it.

I sent a Falcon, tagged with SA54 Falcon Sentinel iirc, with Scale Plate Green paintjob, if anybody's interested.
