EDIT: Actually, after more testing, most if not all new Pilot spec abilities introduced in Season 10 require Pilot to be primary.
EDIT: OK, WAI actually. Stupid, but not a bug, my bad.
Lone Wolf, a clickable tier 4 ability from the Pilot specialization can only be selected and activated if Pilot is set as the character's primary specialization, despite no mention of that and the fact "Rock and Roll", a tier 2 Pilot ability can still be activated if Pilot is set as Secondary.
Reproduction steps:
1. I logged into my Federation character, S'Reeja, Caitian
2. When Pilot is selected as secondary spec, Lone Wolf doesn't appear in the list of available skills of the ship
3. However, selecting Pilot as the primary spec allows Lone Wolf to be visible in the list and thus, dragged into a power tray
4. Lone Wolf can only be activated if Pilot is primary as setting it to secondary, while Lone Wolf is in the power tray, greys it out, making it unclickable
The expected behavior for Lone Wolf would be like Rock and Roll: to be available even when Pilot is set as secondary.
Comments
"When a Primary Specialization is slotted as Secondary, you will gain the full benefits of any abilities you have purchased from Tier 1 and Tier 2."
You will only have access to the T3 and T4 abilities if you have that specialization slotted as your primary.
Yup, OP forgot to read about how it's supposed to work.
Or Cryptic forgot to put some kind of notice as to how it works anywhere in-game.

Reading is OP. Please Nerf.
^this.
Oh well, at least, I know it's working as intended, my bad.
It's stupid, but WAI.
