I have the same problem on my FED Dyson Science Destroyer: I can't change my commander science ability - it is locked at the first default commander ability my boffs had. Regarding the tactical slot I do not have a tactical boff with two commander abiliies (yet), so I do not know.
Character is Venari@mrseele
Also, there is a fifth (unusable) ability slot for the commander science ability on that ship for my main science boff. I have had those on other occasions as well, but I could always fix them via "Reset to Default", but here it does not help.
Still an issue. tried changing the abilities while in space in tac and sci mode, changing boffs ground and space, etc.
I am able to use my cmdr sci ability all the time (ship was in sci mode at time of change), but unable to change my tac cmdr ability from one trained ability to another.
Taibin@kardat
and blatant bump. These ships are one of the better options for Rom Sci's, please address.
Here is a workaround for this issue, so you can use the commander slots with the skill you want.
The commander ability that gets "auto" selected is always the ability that is "last", based on alphabetically order.
As example Sci Boffs that have viral matrix 2/3 will always use this ability. So you need to make sure the skill you want as commander ability is the one that is last in the page layout. So viral matrix overrides Tycons2/3 and tycons overrides GW2/3.
So if you want to use GW3 you need a boff that has a pre learned skill that starts before the letter "G" or has the tier 2 version, which you can override with the tier 3.
This means "V"iral matrix boffs are the worst and "C"harged particle and "E"nergy siphon boffs are the best, since those skills are top left and come early in the alphabet.
This also means you need one boff per commander skill you want to use.
If you're still seeing this, try reseating your Bridge Officers, and/or switching to a different ship and back to your Dyson. You might also need to change maps to force the ship to update.
If all that fails, and you still experience the bug, please reply with your character's name@handle.
Sorry Deacon, nothing worked.

Since the March 12th update, are you guys still seeing this?
I ask because I'm not able to reproduce the issue with a copy of one of the previously reported characters.
If you're still seeing this, let me know the name@handle of the character and I'll dig into this some more as time allows.
Still the same.
I had stopped using the ship because it was far too annoying, but I've just switched back to it after seeing your post and it's the exact same issue. I still can't change either of my commander sci or tac level boff powers.

If it wasn't the anniversary version, I'd discard it and reclaim it to see if that fixed it. This is a prime example of why we need to be able to reclaim ships like this. :P

both still broken. I dismissed the KDF Tactical DSD and reupgraded it and it still has problems. maybe it's the boffs and not the ship but I can't think of a way to test that out.

My Fed SCI also has this exact issue. Boff locks in on the commander power and cannot change it. I also often see a graphical glitch where it shows a blank 5 power slot. Only changing Boff's changes the power.
My Rom and KDF sci toons both work fine and do not have this issue. So for me at least only the Fed Dyson is broken.
Same issue. I have a T5U Cstore Dyson and I cannot change my Commander Sci ability. It's stuck on Tyken's Rift III and I want to slot GW III. I transferred my player onto Tribble and it does the same thing there. Please fix, this is the only ship I fly. I submitted a ticket today.
In Tactical mode, you gain Commander tac ability but lose Commander sci ability
This is how its supposed to work. The ship has 2 modes, 1 that utilizes the extra sci ability, and one that utilizes the extra tac ability. Switching between them causes one of the abilities to be removed and replaced with the other. I hope everyone knows this, because its in the ship description.
Do you still need more test cases? If so, I can send a fleetmate of mine your way.

This helped, and I was able to reproduce the issue. Thanks for the clear, detailed report.
THAT'S what it took for you guys to reproduce it???
Well in any event, I'm glad you guys can see it now. I miss my Aves.

I to am having this issue with at least my Romulan character, tried to dismiss and retake the ship from the Z-Store and still having this issue Commander-level skill lockout issue.
Known affected character: Kurihanshu@eeb3
Bug ticket: #3,320,882.
1- Do not forget that in zen store shows 70 inertia in tactical mode, was a major reason for buying it, but I realized that I was deceived by this wonderful company.
2- Cmd. station of boffs are buggy.
3- the masteries are not working properly.
4- One time or another in the battle cant change tactical mode to science or vice versa.
And
5- Elite Plasma Warp Core in epic STILL buggy.
6- Support within the game is fake.
7- Nerf is fast, to fix something that should have been promised no.
8- "Dont cry ppl, we ll make intel, commando, pilot ships!!! What you waiting for!?!?!?!" :rolleyes:
Just checking in to ask if any progress has been made on this front.
It's been rather quiet since the devs were able to duplicate this bug.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
Actually just bought the ROM Dyson Recon Sci Destroyer today (without having read this thread beforehand, unfortunately). I can confirm this is still an issue. Cannot switch cmdr boff abilities for either tac or sci seats.
Switching 'default' abilities doesn't seem to make a difference. Cannot switch from the cmdr ability the boff had when he joined my crew.

Yes same problem and now have 5 Sci Boffs specifically with only one Commander ability to solve this bug.

Sorry boss still the same.

I want to run Gravity Well 3 in my Science commander slot and I'm stuck with Viral Matrix. This saddens me greatly.
Amen my Felinoid brother.
Vahel@rmy1081 Romulan Tactical DSD
both still broken. I dismissed the KDF Tactical DSD and reupgraded it and it still has problems. maybe it's the boffs and not the ship but I can't think of a way to test that out.
Thanks for keeping on this frost!
still no luck after trying the above suggestions.

Make sure the test char has been trained in multiple skills, and that the default skills are not the highest alphabetically
