I will apologize in advance if this is a double or triple posting of this issue, I did not see anyone posting anything similar looking at three of the forums most recent posts pages. . .

I am experiencing Bridge Officer abilities not being remembered in the Powers Tray, and most unusual I would say it happens after visiting/leaving New Romulus Command. Same going for my Fed toon upon visiting and leaving Earth Space Dock.

    I had the same issue with my KDF main tact. I did some research and testing and it appeared that the root of the problem is that the voth boff nelen exel or whatever his name is causes a similar problem so I don't know if you are using him or if this kdf specific or not. Once I removed him from the boff station the problem went away.

    My tray abilities in space are also getting messed up. I'm not exactly sure why either. I have a character on each faction and only my federation character has done the featured episode. I don't have any special Boffs on any character. It even happens when i move from one sector to another. It's almost beginning to be unplayable. Having to redo the tray abilities everytime i do anything, is a reason not to play anymore. Also when i use the transwarp ability it resets the tray bar too. As does when i go to do a STF. Extremely irritating. I hope it get resolved soon or i won't play anymore and take my gaming activity to another company entirely.

    Disappointing really.

    I am also experiencing this on one character only. Every time do a map transition, by any means (sector-to-sector, transwarp, Sol to sector, ground to space, etc) my action bar is reset, putting seven items and abilities onto the bar. It's always the same seven things in the same places.

    Gameplay is rapidly getting to the point of feeling unplayable because of this, especially with missions where the player is immediately under attack.

    Every time I log on with My KDF-ROM character, the skill tray keeps resetting. I do not know what is causing this, but it started to occur when I went back to using my T'varo retrofit after using my D'kora.

    this is still happening to me as well. idk what triggers this issue (maybe doing the featured episode or something?) but only my main is suffering from it which makes it all the more annoying. I got 30+ skills and only about 5 remain in my tray. its not fair to anyone im playing with when I have to effectively afk for 3 minutes to get my skills back on the bars and its not fair that I have to keep fixing it either.

    also the load outs are useless as well.

    I changed the warp core of my main with the solanae one, cuz i wanted the subspace fold. And everytime i log-in i need to place the subspace fold skill into the try. It will never remember it.Really annoying, yup. But the only thing we can do is get used to it, i dont think cryptic will have the "guts" to fix this someday. Well, if they want, they can fix it, but since they really dont want to fix bugs, better guys to get used to all these problems.

    Does anyone else have the voth boff Nelen Exil in a groud Boff slot?

    I discovered that having him equipped in a ground Bridge officer slot was somehow causing my space skill tray to rest.

    Perhaps he is also effecting your skill trays?

    You should not bother, this is a really old bug, and the fact is, it was never fixed, so we need to get used to all these skill trays issues. Cryptic will never fix em, so, it doesnt matter if the problem is related to one thing or another, is there and even if we know the cause, it will never be fixed so, lets live with it.

    Went and did the featured episode again. The recent 'lose skill tray' glitch seems to come from it. The only way to temporarily get rid of the glitch until you replay the episode is to switch out one of your ground Boffs and change maps.

    I'm getting the same problem, I have to re-arrange my ship tray every time I change from ground to space or log in.

    It seems to remember where things were before S9, but changes I've made since are being ignored.

    It also forgets I've set the new turret I added to autofire.

    I don't have Nelen assigned anywhere, he's still in my Candidates list for my KDF character.

    This leaves me feeling like I'm slowing people down when I have to sort all this at the start of every STF.

    It's particularly infuriating that this has been around (intermittently) since beta, and never been addressed. However, just "living with it" isn't really possible, since, for me at least, the tray gets reset to a handful of non-combat abilities and 1/4 of my ship's weapons. Quite a few missions have combat straight out of warp, and having to rearrange the skill bar every time you enter a mission makes you a big drag on your team.

    I've had the same issue, my tray seems to reset to as it was before the season 9 update. Devices or abilities will reset after any transition from space or even to and from missions.

    Can I get some name@handles for characters that are consistently having this problem? I've been unable to reproduce this with a test character, so I'd like to look at a copy of a character that is having this problem.

    You may want to check out:

    SamiK'a@ilhansk (1 loadout sometimes working, 2 loadouts always bugged)
    Hoerder@ilhansk (2 loadouts sometimes working, 2 loudouts always bugged)

    Usually 2 to 3 Bridge Officers aren't getting slotted, the remaining abilities get jumbled all over the place. Fixing the tray again and saving it afterwards doesn't help. Sometimes even map changes can destroy the loadout. Sometimes even the DOFFs are affected.

    Very annoying. :(

    Strangely, retraining a BOFF skill, unrelated to the one whose abilities weren't appearing on the hotbar, appears to have fixed this for one of my characters. I left ESD and still had the abilities slotted for the first time in days.

    I'll double check to confirm when I get on later and post the name@handle for him if abilities are still unslotting.

    Havelock Vetinari@PatricianVetinari has this happen occasionally, most recently just a few mins ago when loading into Viscous Cycle.

    You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.

    rayne@xraiderv1

    starfleet character

    my spatial charges keep moving out of the tray and for some asinine reason the useless in combat trade freighter call keeps getting slotted into its place..honestly why cant it at least be something useful if at all, like oh I dunno..my nimbus pirate distress call for example?

    this...honestly, it happens every frickin time i change maps! its a little on the tedius side by now..

    I've been seeing this on my mirror universe star cruiser since oh...shortly after 3 in the afternoon.

    I just switched to my mirror universe patrol escort, I'm going to see if it happens on that ship as well..call me crazy but it might just be some ships...lets experiment with that shall we..

    fleet avenger U.S.S. Azure Resolve, both loadouts are bugged.

    I'd love to be using my avenger, love the ship,, but not if I have to spend a minute or so on every map change wrestling with the UI to get my powers slotted back in.

    its one thing doing it when say entering a new sector or quadrant..god help you if it happens on a map where you're immediately into combat on exiting warp.

    No kidding; I just did the Guardian of Forever mission line, and about six times in two (?) missions it puts you directly in space combat with a screwed up action bar.

    Incidentally, my fleetmate Dantae@Dantae is also experiencing the issue.
