I want to switch out a skill that one of my bridge officers has. From torpedo high...something, to torpedo spread. I clicked the skill and then put torpedo spread in it's place. But on the main game screen, it still shows and uses the old skill. Nothing I do does anything. I can change skills all I want on PS4, but not on PC.
Any ideas ? It's an ensign skill.

Hm... You in space or on the ground when you switch the abilities?
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

If you change the skill in your BOFF's skill menu, you still have to change it at Stations. Click on the Stations tab, then click the BOFF you want to change and change it there. There is a button called Reload Defaults, which should do it for you if you changed them in your BOFF Skill menu.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.

Don't know if you deal in the PS4 version, but I'm having the same sort of trouble. I have two tactical officers. One of them has torpedo spread and tactical team. The other has rapid cannons and scatter cannons. The problem is that one of the tactical officers also has Fire At Will III. But that's not showing up on the main game screen for me to choose to use.
I don't understand. I thought maybe I had to promote the office with the Fire At Will, but it says that rank isn't available for promotion. I don't know what's going on.
I am on PC but I think the levels are the same between PC and PS4. Fire At Will III does not become available until your character is near level 50 or thereabouts, and you can only promote boffs up to one rank below yours, so if you are not high enough level the boff might not be able to be promoted far enough to use it yet.
Also, you have to have the boff in a station that has enough squares (FAW3 is either the fourth or fifth box, I don't remember which at the moment), but I assume you know that one already.
It might be possible that there is some control quirk like the having to change the boff ability at the stations page on PC thing, but I don't have a console so I if that is the problem instead of the rank thing I have no idea how to fix it.
Poenix is right. I only do PC cause I don't have any consoles, but there are console players here who can help.
The ranks should be the same PC to Console. So if you're not high enough rank yet, the BOFF can't use that ability. Once you reach the appropriate level and promote the BOFF then FAW will be opened up. Also, that station has to have enough open spots to use the ability too. Ensign-one, lieutenant-two, Lieutenant-commander-three, Commander-four.
