I didn't have this problem until the Anniversary event patch. Now I have to go and click the saved loadout every single time I change a map and it's annoying as hell.
Its to the point now where the game is literally unplayable for me. I am not really exaggerating.
Every time I enter a map there is a series of problems. And I cant fix them in the 30 secs we have before the maps start.
If tray isn't messed up BOs have the wrong skills. If activating a load out reseats the BOs the tray doesn't fill in. If I get all that sorted out I get UI lag and cant play because skills are grayed out, have to be pressed several times or lag behind the action.
I am not engaging in hyperbole when I say that in game morale is very low. There are many many people who have reached the breaking point. Its just not worth the hassle to grind. If this goes on another month, I really thing you are going to start bleeding players. Most people are just fed up.
That's terrible.
What I don't understand is why it isn't universal. I wouldn't think a problem like this would have a gradiation of experience. Some people aren't having the problem, some people can fix it quickly, and others have to start from scratch. That's gotta be some jacked up code.

its like a DB Error that it doesnt completely connect to the loadout module . so you load the instance but it hasnt made connection to the area that stores your loadous on the server . it seems that any change to your shipyard , boffs ,doffs ,traits is more data that desyncs the system . so you end up with a default state .
Here is a variation for you; I used my saved loadout to recover my ship loadout after switching back from my shuttle (after the shuttle event was done). Everything came back, so I didn't think anything more about it.
I go to my main ship today to do D2D only to notice all my icons are scrambled. I had a specific setup for getting the important stuff at top, but now (in the middle of action) I have a scrambled ship power tray loadout. Even though I saved the loadout, the game still screwed it up... that is just a slap in the face from STO mechanics (software and the human hardware). :eek:
P.S. My Klingon was able to make it across the floor of stupid chaos without falling off once... probably my first and last accomplishing that accolade. :P
Provided you actually created a saved loadout and, it actually remains somewhere in their database, than usually the quickest way to recover it is as follows.
1: Click default key to open player/ship data screen
2: Click on the ship for which you need load the saved data to
3: Click on the loadout tab followed by the exact loadout dot you want loaded
4: Immediately click on the stations tab after having completed 1-3
This process if done to 100% as described, has worked to fix my problems 100% of the time and, while it doesn't prevent it from occurring again, it does only take me 5secs. roughly to fix each time it does occur.

So that works for you too. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I think there's a bit of myopia here. There is a lot of talk about the load-outs, and thus it seems that the load-out system is being looked to as the culprit. I have not used the load-out system at all; never once - never even played with it. Still, I have the BOff stations clearing almost constantly from ALL my factions on a fairly regular basis.
What bothers me even more is I don't see this as a "known problem" in the release notes. It's not like we haven'd MADE it know (as I comment on the twenty-third page of this tread)
I agree, when i first had this system tray/BOFF problem (november) i had never used/saved loadouts since i joined STO so i`m not sure how it can be related to the bug. Have used it since & only because the fixes i followed in these forums all involved saving loadouts.
I repeat what i said in an earlier comment, this problem occurred after i messed with ship inventory (dismissed an old ship) .. settled down after two months .. now problem is back after i claimed free Kobali Cruiser in event. Others have said the same, whether it be shuttles/ships, this annoying problem is linked in some way to us disturbing that ship inventory, they should be looking at that.

yes, again, the issues started as far back as 2013. It was only noticed by the genpop after load outs arrived.
You lot seriously need to drop everything you are doing and sort this **** out NOW.
We don't want too many cooks in the kitchen on this. We've had quite a few bug fixes going in lately, but it seems this one is persistent. More than likely they're still trying to get to the root on this one.

There was a patch for it?
Can Cryptic do anything right...aside from nerfs?
If it isn't BOffs abandoning their posts, it's their autonomous re-slotting of their abilities...then their inability to change without getting medieval.
Cryptic...before you fix something that isn't broken, can you make sure the unnecessary "upgrade" WORKS BEFORE IMPLEMENTING IT?
NO to ARC RIP KDF and PvP 2014-07-17 Season 9.5 - Death by Dev
I just had half my gear unequip when changing maps.....
UPDATE:
Turns out that all the gear that vanished was also "equipped" on the shuttle. So when zoning I lost shields, engine, torps etc - anything that was on the shuttle (that I never use)
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
Had everything set up correctly, joined CCA and then...tray was almost empty, found my boffs in ten forward all drunk & stoned.... when I was back on the bridge, the entity was already at 10%...thanks cryptic for fixing this....
I lose my seating etc to, but reverting to the loadout fixes that. The issue I am having is on the ground! When I tell (specificly) my engineer boff I have on away team what skills I want her to use, she never has them when we actually get onto the ground. Then I try to reassign her skills really quick, and they will not change to what I want. My other boffs either have wha I told them to already, or they let me change them on the fly, but not my engineer.

What gives?!?
Sounds to me, like a certain engineer is due for a court martial!
I had a saved loadout and all the positions were still filled, but the power tray did not have any of my Boff abilities. I had to manually reinstall all of the abilities to the ship power tray... and hope the game does not TRIBBLE this up again.

So that works for you too. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Yes, it's something I have to do it seems no less than once per day, as my load out can and, does vanish at any given moment.

And then crashes in Crystal Advanced...
I've gone several days with no loadout problems and then had one several times in a day.
My Fed Engineer in a cruiser won't have the problem all day, then my Klingon Tac will have it every other map change. It's bizarre.

the problem exists meanwhile for many months but cryptic keeps ignoring it
