Just wondering if these are ever going to get fixed - was working through them before they got yanked away.

Or are the Devs quietly hoping we'll just forget them.

Jo

These are incremented by completing deep space encounters in the respective maps.

so are they now definitely working because for the longest time they weren't...

Accolade: Sirius Combantant - Defend the Sirius Sector Block 35 times. 16/35 completions going into a deep space encounter in Sirius and after defeating 8/8 squadrons 17/35 completions.

Its definately working.

Make sure that when you are in the deep space encounter that you have the "mission." There will be a message in your mini log (usually on the right hand side of the screen)

kill x Squadrons of <some faction> and a progress meter x/x squadrons

That counts up as you (or others in the encounter with you) kill the squadrons.

did this just seconds ago.
