As of today it is impossible for me to assign, reassign or unassign any bridge officers, on any ship, on any character on my account.
I've tried changing instance, changing ships, changing to shuttle, warping in and out of system and sector space. I've tried logging out and in again, I've tried closing the game entirely and running it again.
Problem exist on all 6 Fed characters and all 3 Klingon characters I have.
Anyone have any brilliant ideas for a workaround that works?

If you have at least one open spot on your boff roster and there are enough cheap boffs on the exchange then yes I may have one for you:
-One ship at a time, buy a new set of the cheapest boffs you can find...enough for all that ship's stations.
-One slot at a time (for the entire following process), activate the appropriate new boff...it should leap into the empty slot automatically (if not, select it).
-Once it's slotted, change the slot to select the boff you want in that slot and dismiss the newly bought bargainboff.
-Rinse and repeat.
You know, I wouldn't mind if this wasn't happening as often as it was
Yay I get a new ship, I unload my old ship, buy millions of EC of new equipment and.... I can't use it because I can't assign BOFF to it.
Loads of fun there
Now I kinda sorta get it why they removed the " Investigate Officer Reports " mission, and I know this isn't the thread for it, but it ties in in this way. Without that quest I need to go farm Dil other ways, many of which involve .. you know... playing the game. Besides which without that quest most small to medium sized fleets are now officially screwed, but hey who wanted variety or casual game play in an MMO anyway, I mean that's why 90% of players are in huge, micro-managed, power gamer fleets. We all love those don't we, I'm sure no one has heard from anyone who isn't in one in months /sarcasm
So I've essentially got to settle for a wasted day and move on to play something else, which of course doesn't encourage me to come back tomorrow and try again, though I probably will, and of course if it doesn't work tomorrow... well you see where I'm going with this.
Essentially I figure for every person out there that has this issue, let's call it 1000, 10 people will lose it by day 2 or 3 and finally shelf this game in favor of another ( that may be generous but let's go with that ). That's a 1% loss every time a TRIBBLE up like this happens ( we won't go over nerf's, every time they nerf something the number goes higher than 1% but might be offset by other players sticking around when they would have left ).
Now I've seen some estimates that put STO at 1 million players active accounts, I do not know if this is true 1% of 1 million is 10,000 people. If we assume on average that people spend roughly 20 dollars a month on this game on average ( on average on average, some people don't spend anything I know ) that's a loss of 200,000 dollars a month.
It may just be me, but that seems like a lot, enough that they would prevent this sort of thing from happening. Even if all my numbers are hypothetical it would seem financially ruinous to allow something of -this- level of significance to happen. I'd almost rather the servers stayed closed for emergency whatever, at least then I'd get the feeling they were actually working on something
Got the same problem,,,,,have 3 ships that i cant use KDF AND FED just paid ZEN for 1 and im a bit fed up with **** ups that keep happening lately,,,, anyone no a easy way to get over the prob only im not that tec minded and not in a fleet,,,,,,
This one plagued me for a little bit but I found that going to my ship's bridge and setting my BOffs -there- worked while doing it in Sector Space did not.
i lied i have not gone to bed,,,,,,,,i think someone has mentioned this but here go's i have had to put every one of my bridge officers in the shuttle then move them to my ship and i have had to do this on every ship, bit of a pain but its worked,,,,,,,,,,,,
I recently had this problem and I found a temporary work around, if you also have a fighter or other small craft then you can change the officer assigned to the one you want to assign to the ship so the solution is this:
change fighter boff to boff 1
assign boff 1 to ship slot
change fighter boff to boff 2
assign boff 2 to ship slot
until you have them all assigned.
I don't know if this will work for you but if not then I've also heard that the following can work too: change your ship, unassign boffs, then change back to the ship you want to use, then reassign the boffs. I hope this helps.

I'm not THAT difficult to please, I just have a very low tolerance threshold for stupid BS! - George Carlin.
If you can set one BOFF... Put them into a station. Click the same station, and assign another to it.
The 'new BOFF will show up. Click your next station, and assign your first boff (the one you were able to assign). Repeat the procedure until every slot is filled... (I found this out by accident, but, it works)
This works if you have changed a boff, does'nt work if you have a new vessel.
While setting up the Enterprise C to fight my way out of the Thoian base, I noticed my Boffs had been removed from their stations. After completing the mission for all my toons, I took a break from sto until today. Woa - all my Boffs are removed from their stations and I can't reload them.
I read the thread, but all these solutions have to be a joke! Anybody have a simple one. I tried the one of going to the bridge and didn't work for me. arrg
So I rolled a new toon for the Andorian escort, cause Ereth eez searius starfleet admirul who can't be seen commanding anything without a Starfleet delta and racing-stripe, or that is smaller than a Sovereign, and...
This is a pretty serious bug. I've tried everything zone-chat threw at me, nothing let me slot my bridge officers into my ship. Now most of us who have been around a long while, and have a lot of alts with pre-equipped and crewed ships that hardly ever change, might not even have noticed if you hadn't told me. (Any other week, I would not have.) But for a new player, not being able to slot bridge officers is a game breaking bug. Oh you can work your way through the Azura mission easily enough, but they're going to start noticing the drawback on their way out of P'Jem. Easy enough to survive that encounter (Undine dreadnaught) by staying outside its firing range and letting the NPCs handle the entire thing, but new players probably won't know their participation is optional on this one. All they'll know is that plasma is bad for their hull and they can't fix it, and they can't last those two minutes.
So... chop chop, guys.
Meanwhile, I'm switching to my Type 10. They'll never see me coming!
After doing the ground Foundry Mission "Captain's Table Royal Rumble," my ship has no BO powers. I have changed maps, gone to the shuttle, logged off and on, and I have no bridge officer powers. They are unselectable.
Also for some reason, I can only get shuttle bridge view, and cannot actually fly the shuttle.
I was having the same problem. All you have to do is queue for PvE encounter, as soon as you get into the encounter (before you move an inch) you can put your bridge officers into their stations. Hope that helps you.
Had the same problem of not being able to assign bridge officers when I leveled a new toon. Took them into a idle foundry just to try to get something done with them. Since it also had some targets to shoot I said what the heck and opened fire. After combat ended well waiting for it to end I tried to slot my bridge officers, and boom, it worked. Tried it with another toon that lost bridge officer slots after finishing the 3rd year event mission, worked for them also.
I had the same issue. I had a science toon and an engineering toon that just got to level 50. I initially wasn't able to put bridge officers in their stations, but when I started to play the second wave mission, I was able to slot my bridge officers during the beginning of the mission. I don't know if this can work with all missions because I never tried. That's how I solved the issue for myself, hopefully this can solve others.
This has got to be one of the largest FUBAR, Charilie Foxtrot yet. Even with the work around I cant get a damned thing loaded. Why do we have to do a dog and pony show to get something to work that was already WORKING before all of these so called "updates"?

We had the cannot slot bridge officers bug in our fleet , many of our members
Transwarp to the fleet starbase and the problem is solved , you can slot new officers in orbit and if you beam to the Fleet starbase you can slot them there as well.
good luck
it appears the open public instances are bugged
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
So what am I suppose to do now? I haven't been able to run ship content for over day because I cannot get any of my Engineers or Sci BoFF to go into ANY ship that I switched after the patch. I have tried everything in this thread...fixed this god damn stupid bug or Its been over 24 hours.
Edit:
Fixed it after 24 hours by doing a RICH dil daily...yes that was the only map that allowed me to add the BoFF.....stupid
I want to telll everyone the Fleet Starbase is best work around. I have a new ship with and could slot no BO 's tilll dock at our starbase. Many others had same experience. Love spend hunders of millliions on a ship with no BO's
Ok guys here is what i have done to work awround this i select the officer that i want to assign and put him in the Shuttle slot that will allow me to assign him to my ship i just do this for any bo i want to assign a station to and it works i hope this helps.

Do you have available slots for officers? You need at least one open boff spot on your roster for that fix
change fighter boff to boff 1
assign boff 1 to ship slot
change fighter boff to boff 2
assign boff 2 to ship slot
until you have them all assigned.
I don't know if this will work for you but if not then I've also heard that the following can work too: change your ship, unassign boffs, then change back to the ship you want to use, then reassign the boffs. I hope this helps.
