Starting nearly 2.5 years ago, the crafting station in the Defera Invasion Zone has failed to properly work. - I have sent in 3 bug reports on this, but nothing has been corrected.
https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/8m7ria/unable_to_craft_items_on_defera/ shows that I'm not the only one with this issue.
This is a requirement for the "Prolific Producer" (and one other I don't recall off hand) missions provided by the zone commander and as such, should have been fixed immediately.
