Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
I had a 5 point card in slot 9,a double arrow in 10, a double arrow in 11, and a 3 point and left arrow in 12. When rolling an 11 you should be able to select the 12, get the 3 points and bounce back to the 9 because of the arrow on the 12. If you select the 12 it stops there. This happened twice in our game. You can't ping pong back and forth repeatedly, bjt according to the rules this setup should habe worked.

Report history
In the scenario described here you are trying to use your sector 11 reward twice - once to go to 12, and then again to go to 10.
"If there is an arrow and *ANOTHER* reward, you gain..." In the accompanying images in the rulebook, there are only a point symbol (the reward) and the red or green arrow (the "another reward").
And, yes, I will confirm there is a larger issue with multiple arrows. This is what just happened to me.
Pos 9 - Both Directions
Pos 10 - Both Directions
Pos 11 - 6VP
My roll was a 9. Clicking on the 9 highlighted the 8 & 10 for selection. I selected the 10, thinking it would at highlight the 11 (but not the 9 for the reason I suggested above), but it did not and instead sent me immediately to my purchase phase.
boardgamearena.com/4/spacebase?table=241312788
I had blue 2way arrows on sectors 9/10/11. On my last turn, I used two +1 dice total powers so I could choose sector 9 (with 2way arrow). It let me select 8\10, but I couldn't chain 9 -> 10 -> 11 -> 12.
Jet082 was able to chain red arrows. The bug may be confined to blue or maybe it's an interaction with using a charged power.
I have red arrows on 8 and 9.
8 is rolled, I select 8.
Game asks if I want to also select 7 or 9.
I select 9.
Game gives me all the bonuses from 8 and 9, BUT does not give me bonuses for 10. In other words, the bonus stops at 9. The 9’s arrows are not being activated.
(Don’t have an Imgur account, sorry)
People might think chained arrows aren't working because the UI silently gives you the bonus rather than highlighting the chain. Just like it says "automatically picking 7 instead of 3+4 because it's better", it should say "automatically chaining arrow 9 to 10 because it's the only choice".
Suggestion: Display it better on the UI when there is a chained arrow.
The rule book is quite clear that you can only gain any given sector's rewards once for dice assigned, regardless of arrows, so once you have made the choice of right or left arrow, there are no more choices to make. There's no way to double back to a previously awarded sector and earn it again, so every chained arrow must go the same direction, with one very specific exception:
If you have used the 9 ship that swaps with another card, or the 10 ship that allows a purchase to be placed into any sector 7-12, then you could have two arrow cards placed in the same sector. Once both those arrow cards are deployed, you can select for each arrow card which direction to earn rewards, so you could receive rewards in both directions.
I had arrow cards on 9,10,11 and bought the 'You win (on 4 blocks)" card on 12. I also had some 'add 1 to the dice roll' cubes elsewhere. I rolled or manufactured a 9 or more a couple of times but the stacked arrows did not allow me to move on to the 12 - I was only able to move along one step.
My understanding of the rules is that I should have been able to move all the way along to the 12 (in one direction). I could find no mechanism to allow me to do this.
There really should be something that gives player info that "yes, I did activate also 10 (in this example)". In some games there is pop-up(ish) thing briefly shown on top if something happens automatically to notify player. Either that or some highlighting of those things that actually did activate would make it clearer for player.

Selecting 8 triggers arrows to move to slot 9.
However Slot 9 arrows don't trigger to take slot 10 income of +1.
This glitch has not been fixed when it should be legal to take slot 10. I double checked the rule book. Please fix.
F5 did not resolve the problem. Android on Phone, Tablet, and Firefox on computer all don't fix the bug. It's a programming code problem, not client side issue.

Rolled a nine. Game asked whether I wanted to use 8 or 10. Selected 10 expecting to be asked if I wanted 9 or 11 but the chain stopped. It should be recursive.
" If you use the sum of the dice, each reward may only be claimed once. If you use the individual dice, each reward may be claimed no more than twice; once for one die, and once for the other die. For example, in the case below, if you rolled a 7 you would gain 1 and then also gain your 8 sector rewards. Your 8 sector reward lets you gain your 7 or 9 sector reward, however, since you’ve already gained your 7 sector reward for this roll you can’t gain it again, so you would want to gain your 9 sector rewards."
There were several moves around 50 to 60 where I didn't get all the coins in my chained sectors.
Turn 50 starts with 2 points, 3 coins, 3 income, selects sector 10
- correctly gets 5 points, 11 coins, 2 income
Turn 56 starts with 19 points, 7 coins, 7 income, selects sector 10
- correctly gets 5 points, 13 coins, 2 income and charge on card in sector 10
There is an FAQ here that explains how the arrows work:
www.alderac.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Spacebase-QandA-May2018_v2.pdf
Reporting thus again I I figured out how to find the game number (identifier)
I had the same issue in a game today, with an arrow in slot 8 and in slot 9 and 5 victory points in slot 10. When i get an 8 it lets me select the arrow in slot 9, but then won't go to slot 10.
I am tracking a suggestion to improve the logging for stacked arrow cards in boardgamearena.com/bug?id=102767.
