Starfleet requisitions request for new tricorder, current issued one is on the blink.

To : Starfleet requisitions


Hi,

Please send me a new tricorder my tricroder scanner is faulty, at times it fails indicate the direction of objective or anomaly. Often it fails after the 4th out of 5 objectives, last failure lasted a few minutes before the tricorder functioned correctly and guided me to the last item and anomaly to be scanned.

Either the last objective is out of range and needed me to get closer, or perhaps its batteries were low on power, or something was causing interference.

As an example the last failure says there was one anomaly left (also 1 objective to scan) but instead of the blue FX circle and direction beam, the red FX circle displays with no direction beam leading myself and my away team to being temporally lost.

(Bug report #1036176)

I've encountered this problem as well. The current work-around is simply move to a different section of the map, (and keep trying this until something else comes within detection range. This tactic also works if you encounter an anomaly that is buried too deep for proper scanning...)
