Where is my crew?

Since I have tons of energy now I bought 2 crews just in case I'd ever need them. Now I've named one of those crews (the other one still has no name) just to see what I can do with a crew, but I can't find it anymore and the name is now taken (by me, I suppose). Some details: player name: jensj. Crew name: CoinMasters. Presumed cause of the bug: the second nameless crew forces the set crew name screen to show and therefore hides my first crew.

I see your crew here.

Press "CREWS" in the lobby and you'll find it

@EDIT@

If you are in 2+ crews, try "switch crew" and set your's

The problem is that I'm in a crew, but this is what I see in the CREW tab:

I think you're supposed to set a name immediately when you buy one. But I think there should be the option to set a name later.

Whenever you buy a crew, a pop-up box shows up asking for a name, but it has a close button and I happily used that both times. Later I decided to name my first crew through the lobby (after having already bought a second one) and now I can't access it.

Yeah, but the "something went wrong" kind of implies it's not designed for you to do that. You gotta name your second one in order to access your crew tab properly.

Re: Where is my crew?

You have to name all of your crews before being able to access them. It's not a bug as that is how the system was designed. You're supposed to select crew name as soon as you buy it, but it's easy for people to close browser tab or lose connection with ee. Because of that we had to provide alternative place where crew name needs to be selected. We decided to go for the crews tabs before displaying them to make it clear that you have a crew that is missing a name.

Initially we wanted to display name selection popup as soon as you connected to ee again after buying but that would be too intrusive.
Possibly we could have made it so the crew name selection could be accessed from some button in the crews tab. We didn't do that as In my opinion we would get more reports about missing bought crews from people unable to find the name selection. (If they didn't select it because of the mentioned disconnection, etc.)

Now that I'm thinking about this we could place button like "Select name later" to skip it for now and access rest of crews. But is it that hard to select name as soon as you buy a crew?

Re: Where is my crew?

I don't want to name that crew yet as I don't know what I'm going to do with it. I've never seen the normal crew tab yet so I couldn't know if I can change the name later, choosing the wrong name might mean losing 1000 energy. Just make the crew appear as unnamed crew and ask for a name as soon as the player wants to access it, that should solve all problems.

1000 energy isn't actually that much though, can be accumulated in 2 days.
