This wont work for everyone but put them in your universal station one by one and that should fix it, I have no universal station so that wont work for me, Also note that ship changeing is also buged.
Ok another way i found which might not work for all go and change ships then change back and it will fix the bug not allowing you to change station officers, let me know it this helps and have fun
Can't assign newly trained up Boffs into the stations, I've tried this on both ground and in space, tried reloading the game no effect. Submitted a ticket but i'm not holding my breath.
This is a major game breaking bug and it's not been addressed yet surely i'm not the only one whose submitted a bug report?
If switching zones doesn't work then go to the shipyard, switch ships and then switch back and try to assign them again. No promises, but that's been working for most people. Think it's something to do with this new active shuttle thing they've added. I've noticed several times now where I'll be using my ship but it'll register my shuttle name with npcs and stuff instead.
I've noticed that it only affects your boffs that are on station at the moment the bug kicks in. Whenever you get a new boff, that boff isn't affected by the bug and can be placed.
Now that I think it over, when you're forced to switch ships for the purposes of a mission, the game hasn't caught up with the fact that you're back in your own ship. AFAIK you can't use boffs on a ship you're forced to fly in a mission, and when the mission completes, the code still has you in the mission ship. Changing ships seems to reset this "marker" (being that I can't think of a better term) and sets you to the correct ship, allowing you to assign your boffs freely.
Like the title says, my BOFFs aren't populating when selected for their BOFF stations. Specifically, of the four BOFF stations on my Starfleet Heavy Cruiser, my two Engineering BOFF stations populate like they should, but my Leiutenant Tactical and Leiutenant Science just won't populate, even when I assign the proper officer.
So far, I've only noticed this on my lvl 24 Starfleet Engineer. I haven't checked yet to see if this problem is isolated to this character or if it's affecting my other toon as well.
I submitted a ticket earlier today, but given that it's a saturday, I'm assuming that the earliest this will be resolved will be monday.
Still I'm just curious to know if anyone else is having a similar issue.
this is a season 7 bug . The way to fix it is to go to the shipyard ,switch ships and switch back again : select your shuttle for a sec ,populate it with the one BOFF it accepts and then switch back to your main ship ( unless shuttle is your main ship ) .You should now be able to populate stations .
The bug can also rear its ugly head without ever switching ships ( for a mission ) .The only 100% sure way to fix it is to go to shipyard ,switch ships for a sec and then switch back again ....
Had that happen to me too. Sucks to be without a ship to change to, though.
Only other way to get around that is to get new boffs. I had one boff candidate when it happened to me, so I put him on board, and was able to change him around normally.
I've had luck moving the specific bridge officer slot to 'none' then re-choosing a bridge officer.
So basically it will show you have a BOF assigned when you in fact dont, so manually change the pull down menu to 'none' then move it back to the old officer
its funny...even though i dont have my engineer doff sloted, when im trying to, I still have access to its abilities
just one more bug to add the the ever growing list that craptic wont fix...sorry cryptic but you are not doing anything good for this season with all the bugs that have been here since even beta...
Well i have dont the switching ship things but i can never assign my tactical or engeriers so it not fixing it for me log in and out and no effect either
Had the same thing happen to me. They seem to be tied together. My exact sequence of events:
Purchased the Regent Assault Cruiser Retrofit
Assigned Bridge Officers without a problem
Traveled to another location to have a fleet member train some different skills on one of my officers.
Removed the officer to be trained, stripped his equipment, traded him, received him back with his new abilities.
Upon opening the screen to reslot him, all my officer slots were empty even though I'd only removed this particular one, and only the slot I'd emptied would respond to a new assignment (the officer I'd traded).
Upon returning to space, I found that all the officers that were previously equipped were still equipped, despite the slots showing empty, and all of their abilities were available. The officer I traded for training seems to be working normally, only has his normal set of powers available.
Edit: Game crashed when I attempted to return to it after typing this, upon reloading, the "empty" slots are still functioning as above. Workaround - swap the "empty" slot with an officer that was not originally in that slot, slots return to normal and can be reassigned.
Same sorter thing happened to me with the vesta how i fixed it was by assigning other boffs to tha stations then putting the ones i wonted in the slots. but ive extra boffs on my roster from the zen store. Stupid bugs
I only found I could assign bridge officers when given a new ship or randomly when sto decides I can. But I've found if you buy a shuttle, 40.000 energy for a cheep one. Then assign each officer to that then to you bridge one by one. Seems to wake up the game lol.
Whenever I go in the station's tab and try to assign a Bridge Officer to a station, it won't let me. When I click on a name, nothing happens. They positive thing about this is that I can use the first 3 abilities of ALL my Bridge Officers! My highest station for my ship is Lt. Cmd ( which is 3 abilities ), Lt., Ensign, Ensign are next. I activate the abilities from my Hot Bar, not my Bridge Officers skill bar. My Bridge Officer skill bar is grey, and has no avatar heads in it. Have this ever happened to you?

switching ships fixed it for me. \o/

go to a different zone
Update, I did that and it worked thankyou very much `Voicesdark' you saved me loads of hassle and delay grinding my rep badges

Just my hypothesis based on the available data.

I do not have another ship to change to, so am stuck without bridge officers until Cryptic fixes this.

manually select your bof slot to 'none' by using the pull down menu, then reselect the officer; it's worked for me at least
