Specific bridge officer abilities unable to activate on a specific bridge officer

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
So yesterday I got a romulan science bridge officer from a doff mission, and he is having some problems, namely he for some reason cannot use tractor beam I and photonic officer I. He is trained in the ability, but I cannot activate them, they are simply greyed out and will not respond to being clicked on or activated by hotkey. Other bridge officer's setup in the same station with the same abilities work fine. Screenshots attached below. Note the science officer station, Likem is the bugged officer. Note how Likem can use science team I and polarize hull in one of the pics. Also note how with Satra tractor beam works fine when in range (5 km) but simply won't work with Likem at any range. Changing ships does not resolve the issue either. Likem is a SRO but if he's somehow perma-bugged I might as well discharge him (.....out the airlock).

    In respect to the range of tractor beam, the enemy in the first (topmost) picture is at 4.04 km (so within 5 km), and yet tactor beam is greyed out as if it is not in range. After switching to a different officer in the same instance (pic three from top) and moving in closer, you can see in picture four that when the target is within range (3.78 km), I can use her version of tractor beam.

    In respect to his rank, yes, I did consider this and promoted him to see if that would have any effect. Doing so did not resolve the issue and he is at max rank as of the screenshots. Pictures 2 and 5 show he can use other self-targeted abilities just fine. I've played STO for years and never had this issue before, which is why it is so puzzling to me.

    Hi,
    I have the same issue with my Photonic Boff Julian Bashir, Miracle Worker.
    His rank : Commander

    I tried to change his specialization, i chose "learn" and it failed. Tried on space and ground.

    Ship : Eisenberg Star Cruiser T6 with Lt Commander Universal / Miracle Worker Station.

    Moved Julian to Lt Commander Sci Station and same issue. He learned various Sci skill but the only ones available are the default.

    Tried to change the default skill but nothing changed, the new skills are not available.

    For information : my Admiral is a Temporal / STOrigin Era toon

    Do you have the correct training specialisation manual in your Inventory?
    If it's in the Bank, the game 'sees' it and makes it look like you can train him, but it won't work.
    Same error will happen if you have a Spec training manual in the Bank and the Inventory - for some reason, the game tries to take it from the Bank instead of the Inventory and the training will fail.

    I had the correct manual and it was on my inventory.

    I played with my toon a "little" more and finaly reached lvl 65, running the Delta Quadrant Arc (was lvl 58 going through to Solanae Dyson Arc last time i tried to change specialization).

    Now i can change his specialization, idk why. I checked more than twice and he was not on active on my ship when i tried and failed.

    Changed specialization and fun fact i had more or less the same problem :

    What i have tried so far with my Photonic Boff Julian Bashir :
    1. Changed my ship for a Mirror Gagarin Warship / command ship.
    2. Tried to change the skills on Ensing /Lieutenant / Lieutenant Commander > work partially. I can use some of the command skills but not the Sci skills Polarize Hull (ensign) and Hazard Emitters 2 (lieutenant).
    3. Can use Hazard Emitters 1 - skill by default (ensing).
    4. Switched back to my Eisenberg Star Cruiser / miracle worker.
    5. Can use the Miracle Worker skills but not the Sci skill on Ensign lvl nor Lieutenant lvl except for the defaults skills : Hazard Emitters 1 and Transfert Shield Strengh 2.
    6. On Lieutenant Commander, the Sci skills can be switched between Feedback Pulse 2 (by default) and Photonic Officer 2 (learned)
