To my knowledge they were “bugged” for some time. Lately it’s been said it’s fixed “since a few patches now”. I’d like to confirm one way or the other that is has indeed been fixed. So if you’d be so kind folks, over the next few days please try an squad up with your fellow f2p players an help us confirm it’s fixed, or show that it is still bugged.
This was a “bug” that many people had been anticipating a fix for. Could one of you please kindly link me to where this fix was announced? I’ve looked in the patch notes dating back to 8.0 and I still can’t see any mention of this problem being resolved. I’m looking forward to confirming it’s fixed quite honestly, so much so I haven’t been to bed. It’s 7am my time, and I’m waiting for my fellow corp mates to get on later this morning so we can give this a go. I’m blown away that this fix somehow slid by an no one noticed. I spent the evening/early morning asking around in general and every response was to the effect everyone was under the impression this bug still exists and/or no one had thought to check. Last word, from the devs, was that it was known but there was no fix forth coming. Pretty odd this one would get stealth fixed, as I’m fairly certain that people would be glad to heap some praise for it being fixed. Might wanna think about making that well known.
I do however remember to one time asking my squad if their license was on and everybody said nay, so I really think its fixed now. Also it seemed to be somehow connected to old accounts, popping up now and then, and a forum post should have fixed it.
It was announced at [Patch 0.7.12](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/18858-star-conflict-obt-v-0712/)
But I think it took a while to take full effect. Would be nice if you can bring up a squad of 4 f2p players to prove it.
