BOFF slots not visible (Hey! Dev guys!!)

edited February 2013 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I have notice that some of my vessels no longer show there BOff layouts anymore. They have no starship listing and only display my shuttle BOff and my Away team BOffs just as my toon UI does when I choose the stations tab.
Currently my Fleet Somraw and my voQ carrier have this bug rendering them complety useless in the game.

    I have this problem tooon several toons on several ships... It is NOT the same bug as where you have slots but cannot slot, there IS NO slots to put BoFFs in..

    I have found no way to get around this bug other than discharge ship and reclaim which if you have a Z-store ship is fine, but is NOT acceptable if you bought a fleet ship...

    How the frack do we make our ships display our BOff stations again? I got several paid for vessels that are now completely unusable becuase it shows my Toon away team and shuttle instead of my Ships BOffs.

    They must think serious KDF guys like you are just roaches to be squashed. So my guess is there is no fix or it isn't coming for a looooong time.

    What? What do you mean there's no conspiracy behind this? No conspiracy, that's illogical! :rolleyes:

    On my fleet somraw and standard voQ (the only two ships I have tried in the past week) do not display the Ship stations when chosen on the paper doll UI.
    My Away team and my Shuttle are displayed just fine.

    Since the UI does not display the Ship stations I can not assigne BOff to the vessel.
    The Heading still exists yet it is blank.

    I click my vessel, click Stations and the UI changes to the proper page listing;
    Ship Stations - with no BOffs underneath. It is a blank line.
    Shuttle - with its single Ensign BOff station underneath the heading.
    Away Team - with my four BOff choices underneath the heading.

    I have tried several "folk" remedies given to me in the forums and none of them have worked.

    I will provide screenies shortly.

    I have the same problem with my intrepid class. The boff slots aren't visible in the UI station screen.

    Someone else provided this screenshot... http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1335/boffstations.png

    Every single one of my chars have at least 1 ship with this problem, and 1 of my toons has THREE ships with this bug.. Someone suggested it may be linked to the Enterprise C mission, but I dont see how, the affected ships were not in use at the time completed the mission.

    Switching ships, moving maps, going to fleet starbase, logging, force verify, ext, DO NOT WORK.. The only work around is discharging the ship and claiming another this is not acceptable if you have purchased a fleet ship... and I currently have a mirror ship that is totally unusable atm...

    but this, was fixed, was it not? Didn't they say it was?


    Or is it just another issue that we're going to have to deal with for a long long time?

    Btw Roach, they do hate you, just so you know :)
    Next time you log in, ask yourself this.

    This seems to be a separate issue that's not widespread as the other was.

    If you are experiencing this bug, and have tried switching out of the ship and back, and zoned, please reply (again if you alrwady have) with the following:

    Name of your character:
    Type of ship:
    An image i(f possible):

    I'll pass this along for investigation.

    Thats exactly what my UI looks like (except for being red)

    this is affecting;

    G'hargh

    Qin raptor
    Kar'fi
    Garumba
    Fleet Somraw raptor
    my standard VoQ

    I have tried using photobucket but it is experincing difficulties in uploading a photo. As I stated though, the UI looks exactly like the example above.

    Where is all this conspiracy ****te coming from? I never assumed it is personal.

    I have a bug.

    If this was a personal attack then why? They could bann me from the game without a reason if they had a personal vendetta against me.

    wow.

    M'mir
    Advance Escort, Odyssey Star Cruiser.

    Wixx
    Odyssey Star Cruiser, Exploration Cruiser Retrofit.

    Sarek
    Heavy Escort Carrier (fixed by reclaim), Reconnaissance Science Vessel, Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit, Mirror Reconnaissance Science Vessel.

    Raarash
    Bortas Heavy Battle Cruiser.

    Things to note:
    Sarek has the Odyssey as well but it is unaffected, and M'mir & Wixx both have the HEC and neither of them have issues with it.

    And yes the UI is the same as I posted earlier, the red square was just shopped in by somebody else, sorry if I did not make that clear. ;)

    Oh, wish that had been your screen capture so I could have asked you why you have a tac named Tran and not a doctor named Tran. Doctor Tran (on youtube -"Here Comes Doctor Tran") is awesome.

    I'd link the video, but it is not safe for work. Or for kids. Or, really, for anyone. But it is really funny.

    I had this particular bug once on a character after a transfer to tribble. I had to discharge the shuttle, switch to another ship and then back to the original ship to fix it. Switching ships had no effect on the bug until I discharged the shuttle and several of the character ships were affected, but some were not.

    I shall try that later- discharging the shuttle that is. I cant discharge my Fleet Somraw though.

    I managed to fix one of my ships this way, my Odyssey.. Though this is an unacceptable work around for ppl who have lockbox shuttles. And some how or another my Galaxy managed to correct itself sometime last night.. I still have 6 ships that are lockedown by this bug.

    It was my screenshot, and the simple answer is that is my breen boff, so he's named Tran after the breen you talk to in that one deferi mission where he says he and others would like to "defect".


    As for the bug, I dismissed the ship and reclaimed it, which isn't an acceptable workaround for anyone with the same problem on a fleetship, or VA ship claimed as one of the free ones the game no longer offers.


    Anyway, I tried other things before just dismissing the ship, but nothing worked, as I said here.

    (edit)
    Also, while this might have nothing to do with the ambassador/"Temporal Ambassador" mission, I've only encountered this bug on one of my toons, and it seems oddly coincidental that it also happens to be the only toon I have that switched from the ship I normally use, to the Ambassador. And it was right after switching back to the Excelsior from the T5 Ambassador that I encountered this problem.

    Wait a sec... this exact same thing showed up on my tribble ship a while ago. I should've said something about it sooner. :(

    P.S. Roach, my original post was a pathetic attempt at a pun on your name (roach). I guess I should stick to other jokes...

    I don't think you can blame yourself. It has been responded to by the devs that this missing boff slots issue on Tribble was limited to Tribble, and that we shouldn't worry (and just discard, reclaim ships, re-transfer character to Tribble, ...).

    If this is related to that previous issue on Tribble (or is it still happening there?), then maybe no Tribble bugs should be dissmissed as merely Tribble affecting bugs.

    Yeah! Me too! Ticket #1,490,876
    I switched ships and now it's gone.
    I tried all the 'tricks'* from when you couldn't change boff powers last week, but to no avail. How can someone make a game that gives such huge bugs after 4yrs!?
    Here's a PIC of it, if anyone at Cryptic can get off the 'make a new lockbox' team to fix major bugs for 5 minutes. :mad:

    *logging out and in, changing zones, changing instances, going to fleetbase, going to bridge, going to shuttle bridge, changing to shuttle as my ship
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Patch notes for tomorrow include an entry for this, as we've tracked down the issue. You'll need to switch out of the ship, and then back to it, but your BOFFs will once again return from shore leave :)
