Skills Lock

This has been bugging me for a while now, and though I've played the game since it came out (with some long absences), I've never run into a solution for it:

How can you keep your skills from changing or dropping from your skill bar when you change ships?

It also seems to do this at irregular intervals with the Ground Combat skill bar, as well. I'll find myself having to recall which skills I had there and hunting them down to replace them.

Yes, I keep the box checked on the skill list window to prevent moving them around by accident.

Anyone know a solution to this annoyance?

Wouldn't have asked, but the mission swapped my ships and now I'm having to redo it all again...

    Boff seating differs on most ships. That would only work if the new ship had the exact same seating including hybrid seats.

    The developers probably looked at that and decided it was not worth writing this feature for the few cases where it would work.

    Edit: if you frequently switch back and forth between a couple of ships, try saving the Loadouts. Loadouts include the skill tray.

    well, this is kinda what loadouts are for, but loadouts include ship gear too.

    But yeah I regularly rebuild skill bars manually.

    Didn't know about the skill bar being part of the Loadout save. Will try this more often. Only ever used it for the consoles, etc.
    common sense, I reckon, just never occurred to me.

    It also saves your Boffs and Space assigned Doffs.

    It is an old bug, they have it mostly fixed now with the Loadouts as others have said, but it will still rear its head up specially if you don't log in frequently. I have to go back and repair the traits and skill try at least once or twice a week.
