Missing abilities in tray will not re-equip

[Archived Post]

When I cycle between different ships I always have unused abilities/powers that show up in empty tray locations. I have to go through and empty them from my tray every time even though my tray is locked. Today, while going through this process the contents of my whole tray just disappeared. I have tried to re equip the abilities/powers back into my tray, but only a few will lock in. My captain abilities will not lock into the tray. Nothing will lock into the tray in the top third row. Cycling rows to different positions makes no difference. I have exited the program and restarted and still have the same problem. I have not yet checked to see if this issue includes ground combat. As it is the game is unplayable for me. Has anyone else seen this problem? Am I missing something?

Yes I had this problem when I was in my shuttle for the Vault event. I usually keep the same abilities in the same slots across all ships for consistency's sake, but I just could not slot any power into half of the tray slots. I ended up getting them into different slots than I usually use.

Since the Vault update i cant equip random abilitys after changing back from a Shuttle, other abilities vanish when i move them too, im stuck and cant go anywhere now............

same problem here. spot 1 2 3 and 4 of row 1 are totally crapped.

Whats next is when putting the tray on setting 1 or 2 the whole tray shifts to the right. GG cryptic.

I have also experienced disappearing buttons, they appear to still be there, and for a little noob alt it's not a big deal, but even though I've done tons of stf's in my VA, I can't always remember exactly which button is which....

[Archived Post]

Okay this is serious, half of my stuff in my main ship's tray is gone now....

[Archived Post]

omg I had this exact same situation happen to me too

I went from my Defiant R to a new Danube I bought, customized my tray for the shuttle...but couldn't even freaking playing the Event due to whatever bugs and the event ending

When I went back to my Defiant R, my entire tray was not the way I left it and was frustrating to put it back the way I remember it

Change your location...

It's a temporary fix, till ya alter yer Personal Box or change ships again.

Just go through an Instance Change to another Sector.

It's worked for me so far each time.

Thanks for the tip, that seemed to help me after my Vault event

Had the exact same issue when tried to prepare for the shuttle event. Started with the most recent patch. Icons keep disappearing on my very own eyes when cycling through the rows, plus I can't put abilities back into some slots. Couldn't figure out exactly what could be causing this, as I was so frustrated I just wanted to get to my old ship and fix everything so I could play at all...

I don't see myself doing any shuttle events or missions until Cryptic acknowledges this bug and posts an info about a fix in some future release notes. It's enough that the tray tends to mess up when switching ships, but now it's difficult to even keep playing after such change.

[Archived Post]

There was some issue with certain rows on the tray awhile back, thought they fixed that in a patch. I switch ships and they remember the powers and even the boffs now.

I know on some rows I don't use when I switch boffs it will add the powers. When they appear you should try moving them to a row you don't use, rather then removing them altogether, so next time they should be put there then where you don't want them to be.

I've been testing out this bug. It doesn't happen when you set the tray to 3 rows or higher display. It happens when you have two or one rows. Buttons 1-5 on the first row are bugged. Even when you change the row to 2 and up. The first 5 items will be deleted and can't be re-added. Buttons 6-8 stay. So for the time being switch to 3-4 row setup. Or don't use buttons 1-5. When in 1-2 setup.

I always run 3 rows and it happens to me. I have been trying to find a pattern and it all is very random. I tried changing my instance, as mentioned earlier as a solution to the problem, and that made no difference. I was able to get my abilities back to where I wanted them when I restarted. I noticed if I scroll through my rows and I make a duplicate row, all abilities equipped in both rows disappear. After this happens my abilities seem unable to reequip. I am very careful whenever I change ships now and already have had it happen a couple of more times.

I also always play with 3 rows, and the ship weapon tray and the bridge officer ability tray.

Also are you implying that you can have more than 3 rows displayed?

[Archived Post]

No. When you select 4. It disables the BOFF menu. That's what I meant. This bug is random then. It only happens to me when I used 1 and 2 rows only. But when I selected 3 or 4. It stopped.

[Archived Post]

Same happened to me. Logged in and power tray is empty, after reloading it yesterday cause tray was empty. Power tray is locked, so yes this is annoying bug. Have submitted bug report. So should you.

[Archived Post]

I found another solution a while back. This seemed to always happen when changing ships. I go to the stations tab, change the Boff to none then change it back to whom it was. The icons reappear back in their respective slots. I always have all 3 rows showing but it still happens on occasion until recently. Seems to be a bug with using the same Boffs on both ships because since I spec'd out new Boffs for the other ship and used those instead, the problem went away.

[Archived Post]

I tried that, didn't work.

So far the change instance thing has worked the best for me.

[Archived Post]

I've got the same problem...

[Archived Post]

i have the same prob's as you guys, i keep all my powers in the same slots across all ships but now i cant slot them hardly anywhere. and please fix the fleet roster bug, its driving me nuts seeing all my alts online at the same time

[Archived Post]

I'm having the same problem, too. Even scrolling the bars up and back down will eliminate everything on the bar. >.<

[Archived Post]

I'm having the same exact problems as you guys. It was just 2 in A8+9 then when I leveled and got a new ship 2-8 also become useable. Hope this fix soon! :mad:

I can second this work-around. I switched out of my odyssey back to my sovreign class and went out to DS9 space to set up my tray. When the powers wouldn't come back to where I wanted them, i warped out into open space and could do it there.

[Archived Post]

Having this problem, except worse.

First off, it's on a toon other than the one that I went on the Vault mission with (which I only did once).

Second, it's sporadic. Sometimes my trays end up totally wiped.

Third, I can have an ability equipped and not use it in that slot. That extends to a keybind I have (it runs the first seven powers in one of my slots, the seventh will never fire). And the ability won't "take" if I pull it out and put it back in.

I am able (with struggling) to get some of this stuff to work alright (e.g. rebuilding the tray FROM SCRATCH :mad:) but I'm unable to get the ability in slot #7 working with my keybind. This problem seems to persist across all ships on that toon. I have noticed nothing to this effect on my VA toon (who actually did the Vault mission), but I'm almost scared to try to test it - I don't want him screwed up, too.

Edit: Also, for me changing locations doesn't do much; the keybind still won't work, and it seems somewhat random what WILL force it to start attaching powers to the tray.

[Archived Post]

This is what I found to work:

1) Change locations such as instance or go to a ground location and beam back.

If that doesn't help (to place icons back):

2) Right click on the dead slot and drag the empty slot into an open area on your screen, while holding down the right mouse button.

For me this happens when I go to cycle the trays to a different number. Once it does it I have to go back to the ground and back up to get it to work again or try to do step 2. I now beam into space to check that everything is ok before I go on missions.

[Archived Post]

Seriously this is bad. I just had to do the entire Gorn Minefield fleet action without 2 of my abilities because I was foolish and tried to swap out a tac console for the Theta Radiation console right at the beginning and then tried to drag it's ability onto my tray only to break 3 of my ability slots.

[Archived Post]

Yep I have this happen to. I Run the 4 lines in the tray and when it happens I switch it to 1 line then back to 4 and it clears it up for me.
