shield redistribution slots randomizing in tray

Hello -

I was told to submit this here after I submitted the bug in-game. First of all, are you aware the bug reporting instructions state specifically do NOT post bugs in the forums for STO? First time poster and maybe everyone else knows but it's pretty clearly saying don't.

For a while now, my shield redistribute slots (forward, left, right, rear) had been randomizing every time I load/switch to a ship or captain. They go to random places in my trays and interfere with/replace sequencing of what I had in those slots.

Recently, I loaded a TFO only to find that all of my boffs were removed from their stations and all of those abilities were removed from their slots in the tray. see attached image.

The removal of the boffs has only happened once. The randomizing of shield distribution icons happens a lot -- more often when I remove them from the tray entirely/discard them (I do not need them) and less when I assign them to an unused / hidden row in the tray -- so that is what I have been doing. They are still randomized when I switch ships or alter the trays, however, requiring re-setup.

Thank you.8yz6iqp0u3wm.jpg

    Try saving as a loadout that should stop the so called randomising. The loadout system is not perfect but it should help. As for bug reporting a GM will always ask you to submit said bug on the forum, as does the community manager @ambassadorkael#6946 when posting patch notes. Posting a bug on the forum gives said issue better visibility, and allows the player base too aid and assist should they to of encountered the same bug. If a player has encountered the same bug and found a solution or workaround then they can pass it on. This has always been the case in the 13.5 years I've been playing.

    Thank you -

    Everything is already saved as a loadout - thought that was assumed since it takes 10 minutes or so to set up an entire tray. I don't want to do that every time.

    I'm curious as to how long it takes others to set up an entirely blank/new ship from boff stations, space doffs needed for the ship, traits needed for that ship, THEN going up and making sure the tray assignments are in the right order for what I'm used to, which includes deciding which abilities need to go before others, either by duration or because they modify a previous one or following one.

    I would estimate from scratch - 30 minutes or even a bit longer, if I'm paying attention. If not, longer than that.
