Stackup Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 The Stennis did not receive the new deck crew like the rest of the supercarrier ships and seems to have had the crew entirely removed for some reason. It should still be showing the deck crew, including the new additions, to all super carrier owners but currently it isn't as seen here. No Stennis Deck Crew.trk Modules: F-14A/B, F/A-18C, F-16C, F-4E, F-5E, FC3, AV-8B, Mirage 2000C, L-39, Huey, F-86, P-51, P-47, Spitfire, Mosquito, Supercarrier Maps: Persian Gulf, Syria, NTTR, Marianas, Normandy 2, Channel, Kola Upcoming Modules Wishlist: A-1H, A-7E, A-6E, Naval F-4, F-8J, F-100D, MiG-17F
inZane Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 Stennis was mentioned to not get the deck crew upgrade because of the non-SC version.

As you said, this was mentioned prior to release. 1

As you said, this was mentioned prior to release.It was absolutely mentioned. The SC is on sale all the bloody time. If one doesn't have the SC. Go sod off. All the time ED is spending on pampering the non-owners, the less time is spent on the actual SC.That said. SC could come with a permanent discount for F/A-18C owners, (That's how I initially got it), or as a bundle.If one's interested in carrier ops and don't have the SC, WTF are you doing here?

Dogmanbird Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 strange, I didn't even see the game update happen. One minute they were there, next they were gone. I don't recall even restarting the game was it just a very small update?

vishkar Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 The Stennis deck crew vanished after update 2.9.10.3948. Reason being given: it is free unlike SC Roosevelt which I have bought earlier. Funnily, the crew had become non-visible although all actions like HOLD-BACK bar etc kept happening automatically. Any solution like uninstalling that update and revert to Deck Crew Op as it was before.
crispy12 Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 My server sandbox mission was doing great with Stennis as the main carrier. Players with and without SC could play on the same boat. Now I have to have additional carriers... it is quite a hassle indeed.
Tomcatter87 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 It's kinda sad to have the Stennis without crew now. What about a repaint for the Roosevelt (or whatever ship with crew is the most similar to the Stennis)? We'd then have a CVN-74 with crew, maybe some skilled livery maker can do some magic?

We hope they'll just resolve whatever problem they had with this. Quote Regarding the CVN-74 John C. Stennis, it is available as both a free aircraft carrier and as part of the Supercarrier module. This allows the Stennis to be used by pilots that own and do not own the Supercarrier module. For now and to maintain this compatibility, deck crew will not be supported for this particular aircraft carrier. We are working on a solution to resolve this in the future. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Tomcatter87 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Of course that would be the best option. Knowing how long this might take I still think a livery might be a good workaround for now.

vishkar Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I thought the purpose of having STENNIS was to make us fully op carrier pilots on a training ship. In fact we should have a module dedicated to give us CQ (Carrier Qualification) in one session. I just keep practicing launch and land on STENNIS. Still a novice, any advice is welcome, though I have done over 500 of them. Thanks and Regards, vishkar

The purpose is to have it fully operational for both SC owners and non-SC owners (just without the crew). ED already explained that current situation is temporary. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

It was simply an option for modern carrier ops for those who didn't want to purchase the supercarrier module. Supercarrier has always had additional functionality and more variation so it is a paid add-on. 2

Supercarrier has always had additional functionality and more variation so it is a paid add-on.I had a hiatus back in 2017/18, and wasn't around when the F/A-18C was announced and if the free Stennis was to come with it or not. I believe the Stennis was released with 2.5, way ahead of the Supercarrier announcement. People also tend to forget, or just doesn't know because they were not around, that the free original Stennis was not identical to the SC version, while they are now. I'm pretty sure this is one of the obstacles, and lead to the problems we now see. I really don't understand why people would get the Hornet and not the SC. And I really, really hope the Forrestal and the other upcoming carries will also sport SC features. Maybe, and I pray this is the reason, the issues are partially due to SC features being ported to the Forrestal, and since the Forrestal also is a free carrier, they would need to solve impeding limitations for non SC owners. We can hope, right? Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
Nealius Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Stennis existed since 2018 but was a inaccurate 3D model, smaller and with an inaccurate glidepath indication on the IFLOLS. The old Stennis was replaced with Supercarrier-parity Stennis that had functioning deck crew for SC owners and no deck crew for non-owners with the 2.7.15.25026 update on 08JUN2022. 1
vishkar Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Since long, I have the SC & Stennis. Then one ÚPDATE .3648?'wiped out the deck crew. Anyway, i think it will help to have a CQ - carrier Qualification module that allows us to get through the entire sequence of CQ in one go. I called Stennis as TRG carrier as it has four arrester wires and SCs have only three. there may be other differences. I am still learning. Thanks all and Regards, Vishkar

CQ module is kind of overboard to ask for. It should be part of SC module. Just an option for different crew behavior.

Nealius Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Supercarrier is already a CQ module. CASE I comms are CQ comms and not operational comms (which are actually no comms).
