Didn't work for me either. Neither does swapping ships or entering a mission instance or beaming to my bridge or any other solution. And, like some others, I can't play until it gets fixed. And I just came back to the game after being away for a long while. Decided to sub again and now I figure I just wasted my money. Seems a lot of MMO's don't care about individual players...just the overall bottom line. I really miss the days of EQ with live, in-game guides and gm's available to help at a moments notice.
I've finally succeeded in assigning my bridge officers by entering a mission instance. Give it a try, maybe it would work for some of you.
This worked for me too. I started Gorn minefield and before getting stuck into the action tried to assign BOFFS and it worked.
For me the whole BOFF issue started after completing Temporal Ambassador ... I shall not be doing that mission again for the final remaining 3 days because I am not going to have to do what I have done today over and over again.
So I am going to lose out on getting 1440 dil. Ohh well nevermind eh.
I love this game. With that being said. Anyway to figure out why we can't assign BOFF's to open stations on the ship. I have a place open for an ensign science officer and can't place him/her I keep getting the message there isn't enough room on the bridge and I'm looking at an open slot for them to go.
Had this problem on my Klingon character, just went to my ships bridge and was able to slot all my Bridge Officers
Perfect fix...worked like a charm...thanks, mucho...:cool:
There is about as much water on Earth now as there was three billion years ago. But while the amount of water has remained static, the amount of tequila and Triple Sec available for the making of Margaritas has expanded enormously. So you see, we have made progress after all. ~Anonymous
I see the bug is still here and, therefore, the game that I pay to play is still virtually unplayable.
I don't want to, nor should I have to, start a mission every time I want to assign a BOff.
I don't belong to a Fleet and have no intention of joining one in the near future (nor should I have to) and even if I was in one I wouldn't want to, nor should I have to, fly to a Fleet Star Base every time I wanted to assign a BOff.
I don't want to, nor should I have to, make planetary system/instance hops in order to seek one out that allows me to assign BOff's.
I do want to be able to assign BOff's whether I am in ESD/Qo'noS, DS 9, DS K-7/Ganalda, or even at the Corner of No and Where, just like I could before the Maintenance.
It has been over 19 hours since the maintenance ended and this bug reared its ugly head. 19 hours! It should have been fixed by now.
And that is just one bug ... God knows how many more have crawled, or will crawl, out of the woodwork?
It is annoying and should never have happened. If it was a one off bug it wouldn't be quite so bad but it isn't a one off, we have bugs every week after maintenance. Even if there are no Patches we suddenly end up with some bug or other. Are bugs randomly dropped into the maintenance schedule in order to see just how far a player base can be pushed before they crack?
Please, for the sake of the game if nothing else, fix it!

One of my fleet friends is suffering with this current bug. Nothing seems to clear it included above suggestions
Not sure if this is the same bug, but I've shared this with several people on ESD and they told me it worked:
Yesterday, I logged in after a long hiatus to find that all my BOFF ability slots on my HEC were blank, and unassigned. Couldn't appear to use any of them, but the game was telling me they were occupied.
What I did was hit K, assigned the bridge slot to a different BOFF, then switched back to my original crew.

Bamf, everything was fine again.
does no work on the jem dreadnought for me , although if i change ship i can change them as normal but cannot on the dreadnought
Seem to happen after yesterday's patch. Bought a new ship and can't assign B.O.s
On my other captain's ships I can't unassign them or assign in an empty slot. Today I got a new B.O. joined and was able to assign it. Can't afford to replace the entire crew!
Found a fix last night, grab an episode mission and warp to it and enter it, you can change the crew inside of where the mission starts. Tried changing instances, going to bridge etc and none of that worked. Starting a mission worked for me.
I have just bought the Vesta Ship Pack, and chose the ship to captain. However it will not allow me to pick bridge officers for the starship stations. I have tried changing ship and back but with no change. Is there anything else I could try? Thanks

You could try what I did, see post #3 in this thread.
I'm getting the same issue - after completing the Temporal Ambassador mission, I couldn't assign my existing BOffs to their normal stations because of the ship change. I WAS able to assign new ones until I logged back on today - now the new ones can't be assigned either.

Thanks, going to the bridge, and assigning from there works, bit of a pain though
-From my own bridge, failed.
-From my engineering deck with ship selection open, failed on both.
-Transwarped to Earth Spacedock, failed in space on both.
-Earth Spacedock at ship selector with ship selection open, failed on both. -Entered Mission Space, failed on one/worked on one. -Bought new boffs from Exchange, slotted them then swapped in desired ones. Worked, one boff short of complete success due to lack of boffs for sale.
A new variation of the bug: I have 2 tacboff slots. One is always bugged at "NONE", but I can change which slot is bugged. I can swap boff1 to boff2 in slot1, then try to assign boff1 to slot2 whereupon boff1 appears in slot2 and slot1 changes states to "NONE and I can not assign a boff to the slot. I can reverse this at will. I can not get both slots full at the same time. (NOTE: as soon as I can find a new tacboff on the exchange I'll try that fix, I was one new tacboff short of using that fix)
PS: On a completely unrelated note, making someone who paid for gold status wait to create posts is asinine.
So far from reading the wall of threads...player based SOLUTIONS:
1) Go to your fleet starbase and re-assing BoFFs from there. If you don't have a fleet you are out of luck but you could join one temporarily
2)Any fleet actions can also trigger a solution (i.e,Starbase 24 or the like)
3) Going to your ship bridge can also also trigger a work around.
Cryptic solution: "0" (out of luck and your on your own).
It's a shame that players have to find a work around instead of DEVs jumping in and offering solutions...heck where there is no Foundry nor locked boxes involved why should they care if NO MONEY is being generated to fill their pockets. That should tell you where priorities are among the other 100's of support tickets that go unnoticed :cool:
I had the same problem. I went to shipyard and selected an different ship until I found one that had all of the slots filled including my shuttles. I then changed back to my original ship I was using and put a different boff into the shuttle's slot. I then was allowed to put that boff in their proper slot on the ship. I did this for each of the ships slots I needed to fill. I hope this helps and works for others.
I got the same problem. I just got promoted and a new ship. Can't select Bridge Officers on Stations. Also, I can't unselect them on my old ship. One time I got an error message saying that I already had a Bridge Officer by that name.
I have tried to rename my old ship, I have tried to desmiss my old ship (but since it was my original ship I could not).
The problem is that I have no way near the resources needed to buy a shuttle and try this fix you say work. I can't even rename my new ship and try that (somone said that might work).
I have another issue for some reason now since after update Im not able to take Temporal Ambassador on newly created KDF characters. ( I can still take quests on older characters that already have ran)
I just did a day before on a new character and was np, but I bought 2 new characters today and I cannot get the quest on either one. I talk to npc and she says " I have nothing more for you right now"
I tried to look over my steps on char I made the day before to see if I was missing a pre-requisite but I cant see anything I did differently.
Im new to game so perhaps I missed something I dont understand. If any one could verify this or help me out I would greatly appreciate. I would really like to get these ships on my new characters before the event ends. ty

Your characters have to be Lvl 25 now to get the mission. It's in the latest patch notes.

The Fleet Starbase will also let you do it.
Not worked for me

Try assigning them in certain systems like fleet SB and Memory Alpha.

Note: not actually game breaking, just frustrating and in need of fixing, judging from the workarounds above.
