space quickbars resetting constantly

it's happens sometimes on zoning space to space, ground to space, space to pve-que, ground to pve-que

the abilities that I've arranged on the quickbars simply vanish and all 3 quickbars reset to some strange configuration with 90% of my abilities missing

it's some kind of network/server/db error due to the high load right now

please fix it and don't just wait for the load to go down

    criminy, I was right, they must just wait for the load to go down so it "goes away"

    better to fix it guys

    or, if you don't want to fix it,

    give us save and retrieve buttons so we can manually force our configs to save and manually retrieve our configs when it goes wrong

    I noticed the same problem too, I even had to add the abilities again each time, but at the moment is staying, but they keep moving around, and makes it hard to play if not finding the ability where I had placed them before.

    My fix:

    Step 1 - Re-setup ship the way you want, trays, boffs, etc.

    Step 2 - Make sure your trays are "unlocked"

    Step 3 - Rename both/all loadout's to "Temp 1" "Temp 2" etc

    Step 4 - Save your new setup to both/all loadout's named "Temp 1" "Temp 2" etc

    Step 5 - Switch your ship and Test

    Step 6 - If successful rename and setup accordingly.

    Have done so for Tier-5 existing, Tier-5U and Tier-6 ships. Now all working correctly.

    Hopefully it works for you.

    Cheers.

    I will try that, but it's not really fix-able with the current options available to players, these things are almost always load issues (network/server/db) that reveal not necessarily bad code, but spots that aren't quite so strong. It's almost certainly part of the vanishing mail, auctions, and other things like missing borg bosses.

    But I will try that.

    Another solution to this would be to save local (backup) copies of some information, that can cause problems (hacks) at times but if it's only the quickbar setup that doesn't seem too bad.

    Cryptic frost has a thread on this, "Assistance needed on loadouts. You might want to post the character this is happening to there.

    I was trying to be polite, but I guess I should be more direct

    this has absolutely nothing to do with the "loadout" system

    Many people that posted in the aforementioned thread (http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1254191) experience the same problem you do - no matter if they have loadouts or not.. hence it still would be better to post your case in that thread, too.
