Im Captain 1 now and have a problem with the initial crafting mission.
My log says that I have completed the mission Scientific Mandate but I have no sample to give to Commander Romaine at Memory Alpha.
I believe you are supposed to deposit the sample at a nearby flashing depository but the game will not allow me to do it as I have no sample.
Now I have literally hunderds of samples and nothing to do with them so now I cant talk to any of the scientists. Can someone please help as I fear I will be admiral before I can even start crafting.
I have raised a ticket but its been 4 days now!

You might try creating a new character, doing the mission, then mailing it to yourself. Or buy it on the exchange for 99 million like the scalpers do.

For the VERY first sample I believe you get it at earthspace dock from a guy in the center of the dock where all the scentists are. If you have lost or destroyed that first sample he will give you a second (at least he did me). That one (and not the space anamolie samples) are what goes in that flashing container, if I remember right.

Did you try to talk to that Egenn guy again? I got a regular sample from him and it combined with the stuff I already had, but I talked to him again and picked the "I lost my sample" and got a new one.
Thanks for those replies chaps, ill try getting another sample from the guy at Sol, have to log now but will let you know if I have any success tomorrow.
I had a similar issue, it may have been because at the time I had a full inventory. Took me ages to try and work out what was going wrong, so in the end just cancelled the mission, and started it all over again. The giveaway is that the sample Egg gives you is actually labelled "Sample from Egg" or something like that. Like you, I had hundreds of samples and couldnt work out why it wasnt accepting any in the flashing bin! Have a look in your inventory, and see if you have that specific sample, and if not, then try restarting the mission. Hope it helps!
This is beginning to look like a lost cause as I have checked my mission log, missions complete, and it says that I have done Scientific Mandate so I cant restart it. I have tried talking to Egenn again and there is no option that says "I have lost my sample". I have gone over to Comm Romaine and the depository but there is no option to deliver the sample as there is nothing in my inventory or the bank. I think all I can do now is start a new character or hope that Cryptic either read this or answer my ticket, 7 days now. Thanks all for your suggestions. Saw a sample in the bank for 50000 but thats a no no as far as im concerned.

I'm just trying to understand where you are stuck. So you've completed it (which means you've already deposited Egg's sample) but you can't call Admiral Quinn to get your rewards? And Romaine won't offer you the "store" menu until you've called Quinn?
If you can't re-run the mission because it's complete I would think that Romaine's store would be unlocked already (unless it's unlocked when you call Quinn in which case getting another sample from Egg would be pointless as you are past that point.)
I ask because I had the Doomsday mission stuck on "complete" but couldn't turn it into Quinn, but a later patch cleared it from my list.
As well I see a lot of people in Memory Alpha asking what to do with samples because they don't understand that Romaine's "store" is actually the means of Researching (crafting) and turning in the Data samples collected. The "flashing console" is only used to deposit Egg's sample in the mission,
Think Ive mis-understood the whole thing, silly me. Looks like Ive already completed it then. If you are saying Romaines store is NOT available till the quest has been done, then yes, the store is available to me and I can craft/buy things.
I think my confusion stems from the fact the the first items you can buy are, lets face it, not brilliant and I am not sure when I can talk to the scientists located elsewhere in Memory Alpha. I was hoping that you could do something like add 0.001 crit to a ship weapon or something like that. maybe that comes further down the line. Frankly, Im not impressed with it and nor are many other players so I have read.
But anyway, thanks to all who replied and attempted to put my stupidity right.

Well, what you are asking for is sort of what you are doing when you research items. You aren't "buying" anything from Romaine ( I wish they would rename the "Buy" button and call it "Create"). You are actually taking a common item from your inventory and combining it with the Data Samples to create the listed 'enhanced' item. If you roll over the right hand side of the recipe you'll see the ingredients you need to make the item (red meaning you still require it, white is what you have).
Glad we could clarify things. To unlock the Tier 2 crafting you need to create around 5 (?) Phasers arrays through Romaine (or the equivalent cost in other items).
The Tier 2 contacts are stationary in the North and West side rooms and they'll enhance mk IV and mk VI items (check their lists for specifics).
There is no progress indicator at this time, or notification when you've unlocked the next tier. You actually have to go and talk to the contacts to see if their 'store' is open.
on a somewhat related note:
You don't have to have the ingredients in your inventory when 'crafting' at memory alpha.
when you create an item, it can/will take from your bank as well.
Last point noted Valdure, thanks for neatly clearing everything up for me. And thats useful as well, least you dont have to keep running backwards and forwards to the bank to take out the items needed.
