Found one thing that patch notes never noticed that useful to me when i switch ships. I am not current using loadouts here as basically the 2 ships I switch to have completey different equiptment and layouts.

In fact I noticed that the game saves the DOFF layout for my Breen Chel Gerett and Excelsior so when I switch back to my Excelsior from the Chel Garett, I don't have to spend the time to set my DOFFs back, and same if I switch back to the Chel Garett as both have different a DOFF setup for each ship.

    Yeah that feature been there for good few years now. It is however bugged to hell. So my advice save loadouts :)

    I suspect it's related to "deleting the ship/rearanging the ships in the roster" + "changing characters" + "lag" issues. As a result your boffs go awol and ship power tray is cleared, usually on good 5 or 6 other characters.

    The devs said "team investigating", but thats all we know.

    First responder gets the 'TL/DR' award for today. The OP was talking about his DOff layout, not his BOffs.

    Okay. This is fine. Loadouts are for doing exactly what they say. Changing gear, boffs, doffs, blah blah blah, not ships. So this is mentioned by the OP...for what reason we can't ever know.

    In fact I noticed that the game saves the DOFF layout for my Breen Chel Gerett and Excelsior so when I switch back to my Excelsior from the Chel Garett, I don't have to spend the time to set my DOFFs back, and same if I switch back to the Chel Garett as both have different a DOFF setup for each ship.

    And then the OP says that. Great. Working as intended? Been like that for a bit now? But still okay fine! Then it gets strange in here.

    But how does it get strange? First responder agrees with the OP!

    And as he mentions that it DOES SEEM BUGGY he suggests to START USING LOADOUTS.
    And then he goes on to explain WHY, like a good responder should!

    I suspect it's related to "deleting the ship/rearanging the ships in the roster" + "changing characters" + "lag" issues. As a result your boffs go awol and ship power tray is cleared, usually on good 5 or 6 other characters.

    See? He suspects it related to! He doesn't say "it is".

    Huh. So Doffs do save, that's intentional and ongoing. But sometimes they DON'T and it MAY BE RELATED to the items the first responder pointed out.

    Good to know.

    So numbers 2 and 3 please pay more attention.

    DOFFs being saved with the ship hasn't been in the game for "a few years" so it cant have been buggy for a few years either. Mutually exclusive.
