Even though I seem fulfill all requirements, at least according to the game, I can't begin some assignments with my KDF character. For example, I cannot start this assignment:

    This has happened to me too.
    It seems to be related to assignments lasting more than 45 minutes and less than 4 hours, especially scientific and exploration assignments.

    In these cases, even if all requirements are met, the button is disabled.

    Not necessarily. I wanted to star the Suliban Cell Ship mission which is 5 days long with only doffs being a requirement to start the mission, and it still wouldn't start.

    Last I checked, 5 days does not fit in to "more than 45 minutes and less than 4 hours".

    I've had the same problem on my Romulan KDF Aligned toon ...

    Plus a Recruitment mission not only required 1 "Any Officer" but also required 5 colonists? Is that intentional?

    That's why i wrote a "Not necessarily." in front of that sentence. To indicate that this mission is outside the observed norm.

    Same issue here, but only been seeing it on the character that I'm leveling (currently 29), and not on any of my level 50s

    Same here with my KDF aligned Romulan.

    I noticed that the game tried assigning a hologram from the character's crafting pack to the assignment, and their portrait was red. Swapping the hologram with a regular character didn't enable the assignment, though.

    This character's level 16. I haven't seen the bug on any of my level 50 characters.
    Update:
    It's mostly with uncommon or rare science assignments.

    I had a problem starting Tau Dewa Aid (engineering) with one of my toons. The selection of the DOffs was without problem, I could click on the button Start Assigment but then a big nothing happened. Tried logout-login, map change, but didn't help.

    RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.

    I have 4 toons at level 50, and the bug still happens from time to time ... Zoning doesn't work, changing characters doesn't work, logging out and back in doesn't work., closing and restarting the entire client/game doesn't work ...

    I've also had it happen on Marauding, Engineering, Espionage and Development missions, from "White" to "Purple" missions.

    +1 Yes that! Happens on my three Federation toons (level 11, 50, 50), and specifically the Sci & Exploration ones.
    Also others in the fleet are saying the same thing.

    Hot fix this ASAP!

    I had Feresian Trial by Combat following me around, taunting me on my newish character. Just got a set of new Doffs, and I can now start it.

    It's still listed in the "Known issues" of even the latest patch notes, so I guess that means we can't expect a fix any time soon ...

    Because historically, once something is listed as a "Known Issue" for more than a couple of patches, it becomes a 'feature' which is 'Working as intended" ;)
