It took me a while after the update today to download it all ( i do not use the on demand patching, it adds to my lag in Western Canada ).

I did my normal routine of logging in, collecting on duty officer missions, checking what areas I still need points for and hunting down sectors to fill it.

I noticed that I had just used the last of my quartermasters and I still could open a colony mission and try and use a " bussy " officer ( icon shows shuttle and not the normal face of the officer )
I canceled it and started working up other missions and it happened again on the second science mission ( this time from the science officer duty list )

Rather than try to exploit something in the game mechanics that has gone wrong, I made sure that all the officers were not the shuttle icon.

This has never happened before so i /bug and entered in the details.

I played on Tribble this last weekend and had an issue with the list not updating after a mission was filled in and the officers sent of to deal with it. This issue has shown up and randomly seems to remove ( or not ) the just chosen and filled in mission.
I doubt that the two are related other than the obvious something is not letting the list know what is filled in and should not be shown.

I'm having the same issue.

The recommended officers sometimes have the busy icon instead of the headpic, when I check info on them it shows they're already running an assignment.

Also the Doff interface seems to have slowed down a lot on refreshing.
