like so many of you, i too have the bug that resets/removes/whatever abilities from my ship tray, but i fixed it, and i'm gonna tell you how!
1) set up your ability tray the way you want it, make a loadout of it, i call mine "primary"
2) remove one item from the ship in question
3) make a new loadout, name is not important, i just key mash mine
4) select your "primary" loadout
5) ???
6) PROFIT!
this has fixed the bug for me from day 1 of the bug appearing, and is usually the first thing i do when i get a new ship.
hope this helps

1: set up your trays, boffs, equipment as you like it
2: Click U, save the loadouts as Ship 1 or something
3: remove an item, replace it with something else, check to see the save button is illuminated
4: replace the item to match #1 above
5: save 2nd loadout as Ship 2 or something
Voila! Now when the tray is fubar, go to your loadouts and click one of your profiles and boom! Fixed. As long as both profiles are identical there should be no worries.
However, and this is important each and every time you add a new skill or piece of gear you have to do these steps. If not, any gear, consoles, etc. that youve added will disappear when you activate your loadout.
But for many of us, over 60 pages of people, this doesn't work. And Cryptic worked through the weekend trying to find out why.
The error is inconsistent. Transwarp to the Voth Sphere, everythings fine. Transwarp to Defera, the problems return. Reset to do a patrol, you're fine. Join and advanced stf it fails.
The problem is the same in what it affects, how it occurs seems different for everyone.
And it started 2 weeks ago.
I'm actually curious as to what is different with your setup. One i want to help, but doubt it would make any difference. But mainly number two i want to try avoid whatever it is you guys are doing that may have messed you up. You dont have to answer these since i'm guessing you've already answered it a bunch of times:
-do you use mods?
-what tray setting? 1-2-3 or 4? 4 is the one that puts fire beams/torpedoes/all in the left side of the tray
-unlocked any extra ship slots?
-unlocked any extra loadout save slots?
-unlocked any active boff slots?
-whats the primary ship?
-whats your shuttle?
-how many boffs? what species?
-any gear that is not rep gear or not exchange gear?
I've had it happen on several toons: one in a Karfi, one in a MU Ki'Tang, one in a level 40 Raptor (toon is 50-51 though), and i think one other one but i forget what ship it was.
The one sure fire way to get this working right is to write down your loadout you want saved then delete your ship reclaim it and rebuild it EXACTLY as you have written down. Only save one loadout and NEVER change the ship. Of course now with the ship mastery even that is a bad idea.
My vote is to remove the loadout system COMPLETELY.

Heeeeeey, wait-a-minute...
you done F**********D UP! :P
sorry, couldn't help it, i've been watching a lot of YT vids lately with a guy who says that often, and it sounds hilarious!
Hopefully mentioning this won't make it worse: three characters have space tray problems, but for the fourth character (female Fed-allied Romulan) it works fine.
But she has a different problem: can't beam up from Starfleet Academy. I got a workaround from another player: pick the second Romulan episode; click on "transwarp" button to go to its location; drop the episode.
(In case devs are reading this post: Player is: @philipclayberg. Characters the space tray error happens to: General K'nesh (female KDF Orion), IKS Qu'Vik; Admiral S'ral (female Fed Vulcan), USS Constitution; Admiral Bast (female Fed Caitian), USS Saga Noren. Character the beam-up from Starfleet Academy error happens to: Vice-Admiral T'kav (female Fed-allied Romulan), USS Vercingetorix.)
Well, it always worked for me, anyway.
1.) Goto a Space Map (sector or system)
2.) Save Loadout
3.) Quick-swap a different ship
4.) Wait 30 seconds for the swap cooldown (don't change zones)
5.) Swap back to the ship in question.
As far as I can gather, the issue is deeply seated in ship ordering system. Commissioning a new ship/renaming a ship has a tendency to break it.
