I also have this same issue. If everyone who ahs this issue doesn't mind, please head over to this thread:

http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=57978

and list these things:

Officer type (science, engineer, tactical)

Race (If it has one)

What type you actually got.


Hopefully if we get enough listed the devs may be able to find a solution.

Thanks.
