BOFF skills empty after every map transition

richarddover · April 2013

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet. Or if anyone else has the same problem, for that matter.
After every map transition in space, my BOFF skills are empty. I need to pull up the character window, select the stations tab, and click the drop-down on one of the stations. Then the skills suddenly reappear.
I've tried transitioning into a battle situation, to see if the skills are actually there, just 'invisible', but no luck.

Yeah, I've been getting the same just recently.

Same here. I can get them back but its annoying when I jump into the middle of a battle because I cant then.

I found that one of my boffs thinks he's a ship, often. A Romulan that was a reward for one of the missions but not one of the four "story" boffs. Fixing him was the same as the OP's post, so maybe look to see if you have one guy that has a ship icon instead of a boff icon.

I am experiencing the exact same issue.

Same problem here.

same happens to me after leaving or entering any instance etc. im guessing its a problem with the new UI

I had the same problem up to level 22. I then replaced Tovan Khev with another Romulan tactical officer and something else happened. The only BOFF that would leave his post would be the last Science Officer. Reassign him instantly "awoke" the 3 other BOFFs who were sleeping at their posts.

The one thing that worries me is that release is less than a month away. Please fix this.

Whats happening with me is at they don't leave but all their abilities are empty. I have to go into stations and replace one and then put it back. and then the other abilities light up.

I hope they are fixing this. I wonder is it due to the "special" status of the boffs

I'm also getting this problem, hopefully it'll be fixed in the next patch

I didn't experience this problem until........I replayed the episode "Crossroads at Crateris". It's the episode where you get the Reman female engineer, Veril, that is part of the storyline.

I had taken Veril with me as part of my away team and the NPC version of her was in the mission also making 2 copies of her there.

When I beamed back to my ship to fight off some Tal'shiar, I had the window for Veril and the dialogue option of "Welcome aboard".

Once in sector space after the mission I noticed my boff stations were empty. I went to the station tab and all except the Tactical station were set to "None", the tactical station was just blank. I clicked it and suddenly my boffs were all restationed. The strange thing is, in the dropdown for the tactical station it showed Veril twice and not Tovan who is at this time my only tactical officer.

Then I replayed the episode "Gasko Blues" where you get Hiven as a bridge officer. Again I had Hiven in my party so there were 2 of him in the map. After the mission, in sector space I went to restation my boffs when I noticed that now the top science station is blank. When clicking on it I see Hiven twice. In the UI it shows my boff's faces and names except for the 1 station that is blank.

I had the same problem, but with the male science officer. I replayed that mission to get the higher level uncommon singularity core. Now my boffs unseat with every map transition, clearly they need some discipline lessons on these vessels!

Weird. After replaying "Turning Point" for a third time and then spending expertise on boff skills, the problem seems to have corrected itself. No idea what is going on.

No, it's not. I ported my KDF officer over to test drive those missions, and every time I log in, I have to pop open my Stations tab. At least, when I do that, I only have to "re-set" one officer and it reactivates them all, but it's getting maddening.

leosg1 · April 2013

This is happening in all the faction in Tribble, fed and Klingon boff all disappear when changing map and starting missions. hopefully they fix very soon.

wilbor2 · April 2013

my engineer keeps trying to abanden ship (she u slots her self on every map transfair) the rest i think go to the bar n leaves my doff in charge of my bridge
i reslot my engineer n the rest jump back to there stations

zaynar · April 2013

I noticed this after transferring my KDF over from Holodeck. Every time I map moved the abilities on the hotbar would disappear, though the BOFFs would still be at their stations I simply could not use their abilities.

same problem with my federation character.
