I completed a mission and should have received a Science officer, I picked him out and I had an open slot for that position. Then I never got the officer and can't figure out what happened. Thought I should report this glitch.
In the game bring up your characters information by typing "U".
This will bring up a window, at the top of this window you will have 4 tabs select the "Assignment" tab.
Now you will have a few things to do here, first of you need to commision your new officer. On the right hand side your new bridge officer(s) will be listed right click on one and chooce "Commision Officer" - then "Join". the new officer is now part of your crew and you can level their skills, promote, etc.
Next to the left of the "New Officer" section you can assign your officer to a Bridge station, check back when you hit "L.C." as there will be more changes.
Lastly below this section you can assign your officer to your landing party (the order maters, as it will efect your defult crew members on away missions with two or more players).
Unfortunately, that's not the case. I've had this bug pop up too, sometimes the BO simply doesn't get awarded. Had to delete and remake a char after the tutorial as the first BO wasn't awarded. And yes, checked the assignments screen where the BO's you purchase with merits show up, nothing at all there either.
Yeah i've had a problem, specifically with the 'new officer' missions where you gain a level and someone wants to join your crew. I contact officer requisition (i've done it in space) and chose my officer, but the officer doesn't appear anywhere, not in the assignment tab for my ship or anywhere.
Is there a fix? Will i get my the two 'green' rarity BO back ever?
Commodore_Barstow, that is not the problem and your method does not fix it. As I said in a thread elsewhere . . . Upon gaining a level and thus a new bridge officer . . .
I had a choice, I clicked the choice and accepted. The officer became a candidate on my status screen under assignments. After dismissing an officer to free up space, I then clicked on the officer on my commission officer screen, and then clicked for him to join crew. Now I have a phantom spot "taken" by this officer and can only have four people on my ship instead of the usual five like I had before. The game registers the numbers as if I got the officer, but the officer doesn't show up. So I this is definitely a bug, and a major one at that. Definitely a showstopper bug.

This seems to happen if you do not immediately pick your new BO but instead wait (and perhaps level up?) in order to go talk to the NPC regarding your new BO. This seems especially true if you have more than one to 'redeem'.
Its happened a number of times (3 or 4 now) that I've lost 'green' BOs to this bug. Quite annoying. Proof that they are transferred is in the Communications log, so I imagine that if this bug persists at launch they can be re-rewarded retroactively by a GM, but still quite annoying and symptomatic of a problem in the game database, similar to the item duplication bug that others have noticed when you are in the wrong form (ship/captain) while transferring maps.
I reported this one a while ago - the only response I got from a GM in response to the missing BO was "read the manual." I'm not sure how "no BO in assignments tab" got filtered into "doesn't know to look on assignments tab"
Anyway, it seems to be lag-related - you sometimes don't get reward items if latency/lag hits at just the right moment. There does not seem to be a workaround.
Hope this is fixed when the full servesr & bandwith are brought up for launch.
This happens to me very frequently as I gain New Officer rewards (via Starfleet communication).
This also happens to me when selecting an item reward for mission completion.
It's definitely a known bug, so I recommend finding other similar tickets and reporting that you have the same problem. Otherwise, bug report them as you find them.

Happened to me too. Very disappointing and is ruining my crew's moral.
Is there somewhere that lists how many BO's I can have per level/rank/ship?

Hope this Helps :cool:
this doesn't help.
To date I have gotten 6 officers as rewards.. NONE have shown up. I have submitted bug reports
In the early tutorial missions, if you've already bought a BO and the mission reward is the same type of BO, you won't get it. This happened to me in CB and OB. Perhaps they thought we wouldn't fill the slot before that mission. I wish we'd actually get them though.
DoctorX : no i've my first BO has green names but the new one i've received they're blue with not the same skill, I was happy to receive a new power but no luck the BO desapear to no where
Also had Boff disappear on me. So far 3 of them, one fromt he first few quests, and 2 more between grades. Yes I know the assignment tab. Yes I know how to get them to join the crew. No I did not accidently discharge them. They just never show up, period. Anyone put in a new ticket recently? I lost one after the last big patch so the bug is still there.
