Ok so on my Main char I have 3 purple technicians slotted for nice little cooldown reduction, went to do the same thing on my sci officer and can only slot 2, 3rd is a different name, and slot is available (I have 6 open space slots total) says it will bind to my char. I say ok and he stays right where he is, tried swapping etc. just 2 purple techs or 2 techs total and cant apply this 3rd (quite expensive)DOff...

    Opposite faction?
    Ground tech slotted?
    Bugged doff? Try zoning to different maps
    Try unslotting all techs and try the bugged one

    Good luck

    I have the same issue. Trying to slot (3) Ten of Ten Purple Technicians and can only slot one. However I can slot Purple Technician of a different name ( S'Rol ).

    I tried swapping out the doffs on ESD, in orbit of ESD, Sector space to no avail. I cannot slot more than one Ten of Ten Technician.

    No aux2batt for you!

    I wonder if a different named tech would work?

    If you are running dual a2b you only need to slot 2 purple technicians.

    Im not trying to argue, this is a serious question. I always thought you had to slot 3 because, 3 gives you a 30% reduction on bridge officer abilitys and using it 2x would drop it down to the Global CD. wouldn't 2 just do it by 20% for a over all 40% reduction. So are you saying thats enough or that will drop it down to global??

    You should really use 3.

    This is the strictly fact of the flaw of aux2bat.

    3 technicians will eventually desync on 30 second cool down abilities...it just isn't fast enough to keep the cycle legit.

    If 3 can't make it happen then 2 will struggle even worse.

    Use 2 for ISE in a 2 min or less group. Use 3 for everything else. Thats how it is

    Not being able to slot 3 doffs of the same name is a bug.

    Work around to this bug is as follows:

    Equip duty officer that you don't mind binding, drag desired doff into the place where the doff you just equipped is. Rinse and repeat, boom 3 doffs with the same name.

    Cheers.

    Ty all, was a crossed faction, that filter likes to turn itself off....

    Now I have finally completed 2 chars worth of space DOffs (at long long last,) now to figure out ground...

    my main (Eng) uses 3 Doffs that increase call ins (turret general, mortar and drone) but they appear to be 1 only assignment capable so the other 2-3 slots go unused...

    I noticed that I can not slot more than 3 DOffs from the same department: for example, engineering. If you have a Warp Core Engineer slotted you can only slot 2 other engineering deparment DOffs (like technicians).

    I don't know if it's always worked this way or if it was a S9 stealth nerf, or what. But it still doesn't bother me very much, since I can still slot 3 cooldown technicians and 2 cooldown security officers since they are in different departments.
