Hi again gang, been a few weeks since I last beat My head fully against the hull....but I am either brain dead tired or just plain missing something stupid simple
so I am working along with My Doff's reasonablly well I think. Having some fun with the first "chain" ones I found ..being to do with teh caitians and I am up to #7 of the 10 where I need a botanist along with 2 other Doffs and some leaves. All of which I have....including a botanist I wound up buying out of impatience but I spent the credits....now the issues comes...
I have 54 out of 125 Doff's allowed on My roster. Great...lots of room to expand and such. the problem is that when I go to look at My roster....I get no names no icons...just the list of departments. I have clicked the reset button on the filters just to make sure I hadnt done something additionally stupid simple....but nope...nada, no names, no images....
ok fine...I go to the assignments and bring up the one I want to use the botanist on but no botanist to select....now I know I bought her...the energy credits are gone accordingly....but the assignment says no botanist available (and I have no other assignments in progress either just to make sure I didnt accidentally put her to work somewhere else) ..I have the leaves and the other two Doffs....but no botanist. and more puzzling is that I can not get My roster of full list of Doffs to show. It will show Me the 5 Space and the 5 Ground but nothing more. I have one in the Brig but I cant see who/what that is either.....Ideas? Polaron Antiphasic Slip stream sledge hammers?
Also check that you are showing the top left "roster" not the active space, active ground, brig. Try clicking it to be sure.
I've run into an empty list before when switching from a high-level character to a low-level one. I had a specialization like "fabrication engineer" checked for the high level character, but the low level one had 0 fabrication engineers.
The UI has a flaw where it hides all specialization check boxes for 0 doffs, so there was no way to see that fab eng was checked and then un-check it. But I'd expect Reset to fix that.
Ways to lose doffs:
Besides these:
> execute for incompetence.
> sell to slavers,
execute mutineers
Most missions show a risk of injury, from none to extreme. If your botanist was white quality then a "disaster" result for a doff mission could kill them. Green and above just end up in sick bay.
Next to each of those departments is an arrow. If that arrow is pointing down, it means that category is collapsed. Click on it so it points up to expand the category and display your doffs.
As for that botanist, the above poster is probably correct: it's the wrong faction. When buying doffs, always check the "show usable items" option to get rid of out-of-faction doffs.
Another good way to make your entire roster invisible is to tick all the boxes in "Status", including "Recent Recruits" - if that one's ticked, it will only show doffs acquired since the start of your current session.

execute for incompetence.
sell to slavers,
or other similar missions which get rid of DOFFS
Under Status- do you have the first 3 all ticked?
have you pressed the EXPAND ALL button?
is nothing ticked in Quality?
Have you checked your bag for unjoined ones?
