My federation fleet's Starbase Upgrade project was nearly finished when S7 launched -- we had all but a little Dilithum left to put in. It required 5 common Human boffs each of science, tactical and engineering. After S7, it required 10, but no one is able to put any more in - the contribute button won't activate even if you have the officers available. It's now stuck at 99% and we cannot start it... we have the necessary bridge officers, but they cannot be contributed. At this point, the fleet is unable to continue running Starbase upgrade projects at all.
I've filed a GM ticket, but have heard nothing back...
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
Same here, boffs block the upgrade projects now. Actually on kdf, but i think, not long to wait and we have the same problem for fed.
Hey Devs get up and fix this instead of fixing bugs for opticals... it's in your own mind to get this up, because than we can spend more money.... ohm i mean dilithium to the bases
So, do devs, or even moderators or ANYONE with any knowledge of the full list of Known Issues ever actually comment on this forum? I'm wondering if this is really just a public service forum more akin to a "put your graffiti here instead of anywhere anyone actually looks" sort of thing. Given the quantity of posts, and the dearth of official replies (even something so small as "yep, we know about that one, thanks!") -- I'm leaning toward the latter...
UPDATE: A Cryptic GM has responded to my in-game ticket. Nothing resolved yet, s/he was simply asking for more information. Still, I got a response, so I take back my earlier snark. I suppose with the launch of a new season, they're probably rather inundated with issues, so I'll be patient a little while longer
update: Was supposed to be fixed in today's patch (nov 21), but it was NOT. here's a screenshot I took a few minutes ago (after patch): http://screencast.com/t/H9t9zMMl6h
I as well can confirm, in between getting disconnected every few seconds, that this project is STILL not accepting the common human boffs it is asking for.
I've tracked down the issue at hand. It stems from not all Bridge Officers sharing the same defining config files.
So, while these projects are set up to accept generic Boffs of the associated types, those Boffs are only currently obtained thru receiving a "Failure" outcome on Duty Officer assignments that recruit that species of Boff. The ones purchased at stores, or received from mission completion, are different config files, even though they share the same Display names. Therefore they cannot be used for these projects at this time.
We'll be updating the Projects to accept a wider range of Bridge Officers (hopefully encompassing all possibilities), and should have that fix in next week's patch.

j-man i think it should be pointed out that our fleet has this problem also and before s7 for bridge officers it was 3 sets of 5/5 required so full. s7 we logged in and it says 5/10 and can't contribute.

i hope that helps.
It's happenstance, but part of the same issue.
Short version: Project used to require Purple Boffs. Purple Boffs have a single item config file for reasons I'm not entirely certain of. Whites have multiple (up to a dozen per species), which is causing the Project failure.

Thanks for the note Jeremy, that explains a lot. It's a little bizarre that it's set up that way, but I know how these sorts of things can splinter. It IS a little bit frustrating that it won't be fixed until next week, since it's blocking our progression (although, we're still accumulating XP, so I guess there's that). Maybe a good opportunity to make some DRY improvements?
So are there ANY BOFFS that can be added successfully Jeremy?
Yes. The White Boffs received by having a FAILURE outcome on the appropriate Bridge Officer Recruitment duty officer assignments, can be donated to these projects.
If you're desperate to fill the buckets before we get this fix live, that's your workaround.

Todays patch didn't either.
