Looked nice over Tribble weekend, but **PLEASE** bring back the number of queue'd players listed. Literally all of the feedback threads on the issue show folks wanting it put back in, any comment on the chances of that being reintroduced?

Not showing how many people is in queue is WRONG Cryptic . WRONG .

Still determined to stop showing how many are already queued for a mission?

They are great changes and it looks much nicer, but they have to show how many people are queued. its critical mainly during the quieter times to know who's queuing for what.

it would not be so bad if we could queue up for more than 3, but when you have to pick a limited number, knowing how many people are in the queue is a very important feature.

when its busy its less of an issue but waiting for a queue to pop when you can see 4 people in there already has often been the difference between me logging off or not. now not knowing will leave people queuing in the wrong ones or logging off/doing something else because they have no idea when it will pop.

The team has been reading posts about this change in the Tribble forums and is taking the feedback into consideration

Cheers,

What does that even mean? Heck, what was their motivation for removing it in the first place? Maybe if they actually told us what they were thinking it would make more sense.

I'm very much in agreement with the above! Please bring back the ability to see how many players are already queued per mission!

Apart from that... I really like the new UI.

BTW... on a side note and totally unrelated... In the Fleet Advancement UI, Can we have an Embassy Level and Embassy XP shown on the left sidebar like we do with the main Fleet Sidebar Tab? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Bran. I know S7 is bringing many changes to a variety of systems, but sometimes it's the little things that help our day-to-day experience. Hopefully this feature will be reintroduced, but at the very least we know you're aware of our concerns!

Why change something that wasn't broken? We've managed for nearly 3 years!

All fail Cryptic, change something until it's broken as intended.
