Boffs not using newly acquired intel/command ground skills

j0hn41

I recently sent a character to tribble. I wanted to try changing my C-store bought female Caitian Tactical Officer and female Aenar Science officer into Command and Intelligence boffs respectively.

I gave them both the command and intel upgrades and proceeded to teach them a number of ground skills, (since I'm not using a ship with hybrid seating).

Testing in the Dyson ground battlezone gave some strange results:

Notice my Command/Tactical officer has no abilities next to her character portrait on the hud, despite having the correct specialization selected for her. My Intelligence/Science officer does have 4 abilities listed next to her portrait, but I could not activate them by clicking on them.

After playing around a bit I noticed they were not using the abilities I had assigned them, they were using the ones that they had slotted before I had changed them (set before I transferred to tribble).

It's hard to see in this image, but I believe my tac officer has the Overwatch II active icon next to her portrait.

I haven't tried training them in more tactical/science skills and seeing if they work yet.

Sorry if this is a known issue (or I'm missing something obvious); I didn't see any recent thread titles here that looked remotely related.

Character is M'Talli@John41

I also have this problem. My veteran tac boff is not using the command spec abilities I trained him (despite being slotted) and do not appear next to his portrait in the party list, although his tac abilities seem to work fine and appear as normal.

Update to this. After the last patch, the abilities now appear in the party UI, but they still can't use command abilities. Manually clicking them doesn't work either.

Had the same problem, but its interesting that only the officers i trained in both specilaizations were having those problems...

trained my 2 years old away team (maybe the old coding had something to do with the bug?) in both specializations and set 2 to intel and 2 to command to try them out, leaving no normal skills on 3 of the officers.

they seemed to use their original skills instead the newly trained ones, even with all icons on the action bar showing the correct ones.

then i trained 2 other officers, (one is as old as the fleet embassy, other is recent - might or may not be relevant) one only in intel and other only in command specializations.

when i beammed down, those 2 used abilities propely. kind of randomnly, but were using them.

then i tried training the romulan one from embassy on both specializations and it worked fine. just to be sure, trained the officer you used to get from KAGE's accolade, from arround may 2012, in a single specialization to see if he'd bug. it did, used the "old" skills.

So far, testing suggests that very old officers will bug the skills, but might be related to their sources aswell.
