More Stormbound bugs

Two more Stormbound bugs for the collection.
1) Invisible ship bug is back. For me it happened where I need to destroy those three groups of tholians.
2) Once onboard the ship I can't activate my enviro suit. The game doesn't give me the option. I've tried both with the suit the game provides as well as the Federation Combat Environmental Suit which I brought along since I knew I was going to need one.
Edit: Tried beaming in the out, no changed. Closed and restarted the game as well but still no dice. Can't progress beyond beaming on board the Tholian ship as the game won't let me activate my enviro suit. Can't complete this week FE as it is right now as I can't move beyond this point.
Edit 2: Tried dropping and reacquiring the mission, but same result. Ship invisible in part two and can't progress beyond beaming on board. I'm a Fed Vulcan Sci and flying a Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit if that's any help.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
For the EV suits, you have to equip them on you and your boffs, and activate it. If you are missing the activation icon, you can activate through the powers menu (button 'p' by default) or some players have reported reloading their UI displayed the button.
"Options" "HUD" "Load UI"
When a cutscene map transfer occurs without a loading screen, there is a small chance your ship will appear invisible afterward.
It's been submitted internally by QA.
It can also occur during cutscenes where your ship is de-spawned.
PS: I had no issues with this mission.
[edit] Removed link to other places
And I did in the end get the enviro suit to work by putting the Activate Suit button on the Action Bar from the available actions (the one you get from pressing P), but it took a while before it occurred to me to look for it there. While not gamebreaking it is something that could potentially stop a lot of players who's used to using the normal interface you get when you put on an enviro suit and doesn't think to look there.
Finally the Tholian ship had a lot of places where I needed to jump over more or less invisible obstacles on the ground. And in the fight with the captain at the end of it, two of the enemies spawned far down the corridor we came from. Took me a while to find them and kill them so I could move on.
you get told to activate your suit BEFORE entering the tholian ship might try that before calling it a bug
the one and only thing I found wrong was after I was done with the mission I could not move through sector space I did move some but my ship stopped after a bit and so I decided just to transwarp to DS9.
I was on board the bridge or whatever it is, of the Tholian ship. You know, the place where you can pick up the enviro suits the game gives you in case you didn't bring your own. So if I hadn't brought my own this would be my earliest opportunity to put on an enviro suit and activate it. In fact, since this is the first time I'm on the ground at all in this mission it's the first chance I have to activate my enviro suit even if I did think to bring one.
Care to explain how this isn't a bug? I should after all be able to play through the mission with the equipment provided for me by the game itself and if the mission, as is the case here, provides enviro suits, then you should be able to activate them when you put it on and if you can't then it's a bug. Full stop.
I'm glad you didn't face any issues - btw did you get the invisible ship or are you going to claim I'm lying there too? - but that doesn't mean there isn't a bug. Not all bugs hit all players, but I suppose you're one of the "I have a sandwich so no one else can be hungry" brigade.
If you're on the bridge of the tholian ship with no suit, something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. The earliest opportunity to activate your suit is from the bridge of your runabout that's docked with the side of the Tholian Ship like 8 corridors away from the bridge.
The runabout then or whatever. I'm at the point where the game offers you the EV suits for free - those horribly grey ones - no idea what part of the ship, or my ship, that is and I already dislike this mission enough that I'm not replaying it simply to find out.
Tbqh I am not going to bother with this mission again, no matter how good the set might end up being or even for the spec point boxes. Just nope.
Think I read about this one elsewhere. Was solved by force closing the game, force verify at relaunch, continue missions when you are in the game again. (You may have to manually fly to Risa to continue, but at least you can finish.)
I was lucky enough to avoid getting that specific bug, though my game did get SNRs for about 40 seconds while it was patching files.
This is the first time I have tried this mission.
Made it through mission. Had to use Load UI from options menu that Quantummeerkat suggested (Thank You). Power menu did not work for me.
