So here's my conundrum. Obviously, if I wanted to heal or buff an officer while on the ground, all I would have to do is click on them with my mouse. But that's not ideal at all. There are already keybinds for targeting teammates, but your officers are not considered "teammates" as far as those keybinds are concerned.

That being said, what the heck are the keybinds for targeting your own officers? Do they exist? And if not, why the heck not? Seems like an extremely basic part of the core gameplay. I would settle for a custom script, if anyone happens to know how to create one. I don't need or want anything fancy. I know you can write stuff that auto-activates powers at the same time and all that high-level stuff. Literally all I want is to be able to target officers the way one targets team members. Plain and simple (and "easy" I would think!).

Thanks in advance for your help. Hopefully I'll have better luck on these forums.


Edit:
Okay. After about an hour and a half of being trolled in zone chat in multiple maps, I've finally learned what needs to be done. (Besides never speaking to anyone in this game again. lol)

Apparently, you can actually specify named NPC's with the /target command. Lo and behold, this works for bridge officers, too.

So. Instead of having players assigned to my F keys, I'm able to assign my bridge crew. It's fairly straightforward: /bind f2 target name, /bind f3 target name, etc.

Now, the only drawback to this is:
1. It only works with one character on your account, since other characters will have different officers.
2. Unless you create more than 4 binds, you won't be able to switch out your officers.

Either way, this is the only solution. Would have been nice if Cryptic included this as a native function, but whatever. It works. Posting this here to hopefully spare others the pain of trying to get a valid answer for such a simple question. lol]]> https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1238423/keybindings-disappear-randomly Fri, 23 Feb 2018 19:38:23 +0000 PC Gameplay Bug Reports infinityyul#1974 1238423@/startrekonline/discussions

I have a issue with my keybindings not working, specifically the Shooter Tray keybindings they keep disappearing from the menu. I have to "cycle" thru the RPG and Shooter Sets to get them to come back; via the menu, pressing the key to switch does not make them come back. Once they are back if I use one of the former missing keybindings I cannot use the Escape key until I press Enter or select a in game window but this really does not matter as much as the keybindings disappearing. During the time I was writing this they went away again.

I have tested if it was;
- Locked or Unlocked Tray, for all happens with or not
- Alt-Tabbing that caused the issue, nope
- Changing from RPG to Shooter Mode, nope
- Transporting/Loading to a new area, 50/50
- Just standing there doing nothing, after some time; time varies, they do disappear again
- Verify all game files, nope still happens

Am I missing something here, or is this a bug?

I Googled the Hogwarts out of this and asked on ESD before coming here.

Since the time I original inquired about this I have tried restoring a backup copy of my disk and reinstalling the game, the problem is lessened now. It still occurs as frequently during missions but in general it is guestimated to about half the time. This issue was both before and after the recent patch, and my new efforts where after. ]]>
