Title: What to do on Earth when you're not really there(help requested)
Post by: Bryan Swartz on September 06, 2013, 05:21:47 AM
Ok so I'm pretty confident this is a bug.  The question is I don't know how to fix it(if it is even possible).

For quite some time in my game I've been able to reassign staff officers, but not the last couple years.  I have only one TF(Fleet Headquarters).  None of the positions except the vacant 'Commander-Fleet Headquarters' one show on the Commanders(F4) screen(no matter what rank or officer I select).  The others(logistics, public affairs, etc.) have people in them, but I can't assign them anywhere.  If I unassign the current officer, there's no way to get them back into position.

On the Task Force screen, Fleet Headquarters is stated to be located on Earth.  If I select 'Earth' from the locations shown on the right with unassigned box unticked, none of the staff officers show up(unless I unassign them, in which case they are there).  They don't show up in any of the specific locations, only if All Locations is selected. 

If I create a new task force, it has the same problem(none of them can be assigned).

Are there any suggestions on what(if anything) I can do to be able to assign task force staff officers again?  Can provide saves, screen shots, etc. if they would be useful in clarifying.

The Commander position needs to be filled prior to filling the staff positions.

Ah ok.  That'll make it a bit dicey since I don't have anybody who qualifies.  Thanks for the info though :).

note also that if you have anyone of rank 3 or above in an office position it'll push the TF commander requirement to rank 4 & you'll have to unassign him from the task force before you can assign him to the command position.
