I searched all the recent bug threads (as in, I was careful not to look into a 3+ year old thread), albeit not all of them I read every single page, and I couldn't find this one. Also, literally read every post in this thread just to make sure.
I can't assign anybody that's not a ground officer, no matter the job or position. Got a team that needs refilling, gotta disband the old on and remake it. Got a sector that needs governing, a system, a planet, or a task force that needs commanding, or offices that need staffing, too bad you're gonna have to go without them. It's annoyed me ever since I first started, but I've gone through nearly 500 accumulative years ignoring it cause I tend to play games that don't work properly due to me being on a toaster.
Currently running the game on good ol' Windows XP.
On a side note, Sol refuses to open in the System Information window. It doesn't affect any other system but Sol where if I press F9 the game crashes. There's one more bug for me, but I haven't finished my recon of the forum for this particular fix yet so I'll just say that the handy wrapper for the latest aurora gives me. . .

The procedure entry point GetFinalPathNameByHandleW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
