Loadout system - NEW DISASTEROUS BUG

wow.... just wow.

So I have a loadout on one ship that has the following weapons/consoles in the following slots:
dyson gravi torp (fore weapon)
borg cutter (aft weapon)
borg console (tac console)

I wanted to buy some commodities from an EC vendor and call in some cheeky ferengi so i manually switched the above items to the following fenergi lobi set gear:
rapid fire missiles (fore weapon)
tachyon mines (aft weapons)ferengi lobi console (tac console)

Now I didnt do anything with regards the loadout system. (I didnt save anything just manually switched the items whilst in sector space then purchased some bukk commodities from a frieghter).

When I loaded the bridge on my dkora to bank said commodities I looked at my ship status screens.

The loadout had been reshuffled as follows:
tachyon mines (fore weapon) impossible
ferengi console (aft weapon) impossible
dyson gravi torp (tac console) impossible
borg cutter, borg console in inventory
RAPID FIRE MISSLIES GONE.

Thinking this was some disasterous dsplay glitch i beamed back into space to see if it was some error. That was also a bad idea as I was left with:

borg cutter, borg console in inventory.
EVERYTHING ELSE GONE.

so I lost the dyson gravi torp (had been upgraded two notches with quality increase so 13 UR) and ALL THREE PARTS OF THE FERENGI LOBI SET. (600 lobi).

Ticket was raised but wow. this needs to be fixed. :mad:

    Sorry man this equipment in the wrong slots, far from new. Happened to me right after Delta Rising hit and reported here

    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=20547061&postcount=360
    and again here

    as well as filing an in-game ticket which has since disappeared from my ticktet history...three times now...I guess that's easier then fixing a bug.

    Have you checked to see if your missing stuff magically got moved to another ship or shuttle? I had that happen a couple times.

    I know how much it sucks, but I'm glad to finally see someone else reporting something like this, no offense.

    @OP: I'm sorry to hear that. Occassionally, on ships that are not my current, I see all sorts of non-sensical stuff slotted too, but it's all faux: after readying the ship, it's all good again.

    Losing very expensive Lobi consoles is very, very bad, and deters me from buying them. IMHO, Cryptic owes you to treat this case with extreme prejudice, really.

    All may not be lost. I just had this happen to me, and found that the items I had thought were deleted had actually been stuffed into the overflow bag. Double check your inventory screen to see if the overflow bag button is present. If it is, your items are in there.

    Update: I have my missing stuff back. (yay)

    Checked overflow - nothing there.
    Checked bank - nothing there.

    Checked other ships - something there(!)
    I went to one of my T6 ships (that I had set up just to get the trait then dumped) and on the phantom the missing items were slotted but greyed out with the little starship/loadout icon. Each item said it was equipped on different ship (but none of them were - nowhere were the actual items to be found.)

    Anyways when I readied that ship all of the items became proper and not faded out.

    Thing with this 'fix' is that if I hadn't set-up the phantom with those items saved in a loadout I would never have seen them again. The system is still broken. Even now I have my items back its still glitching and now I am terrified to change zones lest it all happens again...

    WHY DOES THE LOADOUT SYSTEM TRY TO CHECK/PULL ITEMS WHEN YOU CHANGE ZONES??!?!

    Surely it should only try to change things WHEN YOU ASK IT TO.

    After this had happened to me I equipped the ship that everything was being sent to and took everything off of it and moved it to my inventory then re-equipped my usual ship, selected the loadout and it stopped my items from being moved to a different ship. Of course just like you now everything is being moved to random slots where the items should not even be equippable which is just mind bogglingly stupid.

    Phew! just had this happen to me, glad I am not the only one, thought my mind was playing tricks on me when I saw a neutronium alloy as an aft weapon :eek:

    Managed to record a video of them in the wrong places so will add a link to that tomorrow if it helps :)

    Has only occurred for me once on my new Talaxian character, also moved a photon torpedo to my science consoles and moved a science console (Shield Emitter amplifier to Engineering consoles).

    So as stated I would post a video of this issue:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTFPg3DJurc&feature=youtu.be

    This occurred for me when I did the Following steps: (Only happened once)


    Leveling character > Completed Cardassian Front mission: Tears of the Prophets

    > Joined a Fleet Alert Instance > During one of the waves I acquired a Neutromium Alloy, and equipped it during the battle whilst waiting for a wave to appear

    > completed Instance

    > Transwarped from Beta Ursae Sector Block to ESD > Docked

    > Loaded up the character sheet > Switch to ship and noticed this.

    According to the latest tribble notes they "fixed" this

    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=21302941&postcount=1

    Unfortunately this fix is not listed in today's patch notes for holodeck so it looks like at the very least another week of this problem.
