    Why the hell if I activate a battery nowadays the stack disappears from the tray for the entire time in an instance and returns to the tray on changing map. This is happening everywhere and it is really annoying.

    Can someone sticky this thread?

    Saves deleting the x-million posts that will be created.

    Massively annoying bug placed in the game purely to cause upset? Inspired genius coupled with a burning player base hatred? And not bothering to manage the myriad bug reports through abject laziness?

    Thanks PWE, you rock!

    I also can report that this works on dropable turrets as well.

    I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
    I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
    I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.

    In the new space zone whenever you deploy a turret or torp platform it will disappear from your tray and from the available skills. You have to change instance and they will pop back or remove the device and put it back.

    Yup, same here. Consumables keep disappearing on my ground missions tho I have plenty available. Map changes restores.

    Happens to me as well...

    However, someone in zone chat stated that if you slot a SINGLE consumable (Hold control when dropping the item into your pockets, and only choose to move 1) on your person, the issue seems to go away. I tested it last night, and was able to slot my consumables and they stopped disappearing. And it still pulls the consumable from inventory... so even though only a single hypo was in my U screen, had the total number in inventory available on the power tray.

    By no means a fix, but at least a work around.

    Does this fix work for space consumables as well?? I don't think space consumables adds the devices or consumables you have on your ship screen to the ones in inventory like ground consumables do.

    Maybe we could ask for space consumables to behave this way also so I don't have to re-slot a fresh stack of batteries or turrets every once in a while

    Sorry, I didn't notice the problem of disappearing consumables in space... I use the Red Matter Capacitor as my main battery, and an aux bat as a spare... It may have disappeared (aux bat), but I didn't notice... So didn't test the ground work around in space.

    After today's patch, when I click my bar to activate a battery (shields, engines, weapons, etc.) the stack of batteries disappears from my bar. They remain on my ship in the device slot but do not appear on any of my trays or anywhere in the menus to drag back to the bar.

    Please fix ASAP.

    This bug actually breaks many player ship builds and needs to be addressed quickly.

    Workaround to make it useable again:

    If you notice a disappearing stack of consumeables.

    Remove that stack from your device slot, put it into your inventory.

    Put another stack into the device slot. That one should no longer vanish. If you put the same stack back in it will disappear upon your next use again.

    Of course you might need to put the new stock back on your quickbar. But if you suffer from this bug you were doing it anyway. :D

    I am not sure if this has been reported yet, but. . .
    I have been noticing since the Nov 14th patch up, that any consumable used either Ground (ie; hypo, shield) or Space (ie; Battery's of any sort) disappear off my tray. I have to continually unequip and reequip any of these in order for them to reappear back on my tray.

    It has, and they are investigating...

    In the mean time, at least for Ground, put only 1 hypo/shield into your character screen (U), hold down the control key when moving it from your inventory and when you release, you will be given a number to move pop-up... move only 1...

    This worked for me on the ground (haven't tried space).... its not a fix, but at least its a work around.

    Okay, kids.

    Settle down.

    Cryptic responded that they've confirmed the bug and they're going to fix it on page *3*. Continuing to throw insinuations about what you did with Cryptic's mom last night and other petty insults isn't going to get it fixed any faster. Or, do anything but make you look like an immature, whiny prick.

    Please stop calling the devs of the game you dearly love lazy pricks.

    If anything, y'all should be ashamed to call yourself trekkies. Wasn't Gene's overall message in TOS about how the world needs less "feck you"s and more "thank you"s?

    i aint playin with this bug TRIBBLE u guys im going home enough bugs already more irritating to play this dumb game atm then it is fun, hope they start focus on gameplay and functionality instead of frelling CONTENT ! THINK we have enough of that :mad: :(

    I do agree with your sentiment here, Cryptic does need to fix all it's bugs and maintain game stability before adding on more content at a rapid pace. It's happend over the last 3 season's that every time any content was added, old bugs reappear and a few new one's spring up. . . But on the other hand, most of the bugs encountered here on S8 are not as bad as has been brought up before, could be much worse I guess. . .

    Topics got merged fyi. I did check the first few in the forum and didn't see anything from the headers which is why I posted a topic which got merged into this one.

    I am not sure how this bug would occur, but my case is..

    I got Deuterium Surplus item and Weapon Battery on Device of my ship

    On the weapon panel in battle, when I use(Click) my weapon battery, the icon automatically disappeared every click, which is very very annoying..


    Please fix!

    Valid response and yet it doesn't really excuse the self entitled "GIMME GIMME GIMME NOW NOW NOW" attitude I'm seeing from 90% of the posts here.

    I'm not sure, but I don't *believe* Cryptic is all "AHAHAHA" *evil cackle* "I WILL BREAK BATTERIES AND CONSUMABLE ITEMS FOR THIS PATCH! AND THEN, THE WORLD WILL BE MINE!" *twirls evil handlebar mustache while cackling like an evil genius*".

    Just a guess...

    I'm gonna guess it's probably more along the lines of *insert profanity here* "AHA! IT WORKS! I FIXED THE MAIL SYSTEM!" And then they send the patch without realizing that they broke something else and without sufficient time to properly test it or the will to delve back into the tangled mess that is STO's code at that moment.

    A friend and I are having the same issue but with the deploy able turrets. I haven't tried the batteries yet as I haven't needed one. But when I go use a turret it disappears from the tool bar. It seems to show back up again when I leave the map but I cant use it again till I leave. I have my panel locked so I cant accidentally move skills off the bars. I have also looked for it again in the skill menu but it didn't show up their either.

    Please fix this, as my fleet has several hundred turrets in our fleet bank and it would suck if we could only use them once per map.

    Has anyone else noticed a glitch with their ship's device slots since today's patch? My equipped devices keep vanishing randomly from the try and some don't appear in the available skills window. Very odd!

    I'm using a Voth Science ship, haven't tried with another ship yet.

    Damned Issue is affecting my gameplay. I use batteries to re enable my subsystems, it is seriously hampering the enjoyment of the game. Having to re-equip stuff in the middle of combat is a nightmare.
    Other than consumable devices I also had the same problem with the ground set abilities like the Distortion Field from my Omega Set.

    2 Patches and still no fix...

    Yeah, this is extremely annyoing and can ruin a good gameplay in certain situations. Also happens to me and not only on the ships, but in gorund combat as well. The consumables just dissapear from the tray as well as from the pop-up window.

    It's almost unbelievable the did 2 patches since the launch and none of them took care of this issue. :(
