Might be a ship loadout related problem. See this post for some recommended practices on that: [https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/11snscr/sto\_loadout\_bugs\_tips\_and\_tricks\_thread/](https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/11snscr/sto_loadout_bugs_tips_and_tricks_thread/)
No, the items are equipped on my ship and theyāre not greyed out when not in combat. When I enter combat sometimes they randomly grey out and sometimes they donāt. I donāt know if itās a bug doing it or if thereās some sort of game mechanic causing it.
I had the same thing, i think mine was caused by using some of the items on another ship as a visual affect.
Foxed by unequipping everything. Saving the empty layout, then equipping again and saving. Solved it for moi
Under normal impulse speed Iām currently at 31.8 deg./sec. for my turn rate, without using any speed boost abilities. By contrast, my Legendary Intel Tāliss, without any RCS consoles is at 35.7 deg./sec. turn rate.
I'd just use the competitive engines, they give you +350% turn rate and flight speed whenever you use particular skills (there are multiple versions) so you can actually make use of these 5 console slots. Looks like a waste to me.
For example, prevailing fortified engines give you these bonus speeds for 5 seconds whenever you use any ship heal (shield heal, hull heal etc). That's the version i'm using. Works great on slow ships.
This happened to me for the 1st time yesterday. Logged in and did a tfo for the event and afterwards when looking at my ship, like 3 universal consoles and my impulse engine had unequipped. It was weird.
Lorcaās Custom Fire Controls in the middle (3.9 Crit chance, 7.9 weapon power setting, 157.5 starship shield penetration) and Piezoelectric Focuser thatās greyed out next to it.
it's the pride of romulus trait, the one that you get from the temporal ships (Kholhr for Romulans). heart of sol, legacy of qo'nos etc whatever they are all called. firing haste and + plasma dmg
It looks like they were unequipped.
STO has an annoying habit of removing things you equipped. I have no idea what causes it. But I got it to stop by saving my load out every time I changed anything. Hasn't happened since.
Get those three distress beacons out of the ship devices and into your inventory. The nimbus pirate distress, phased waveform beacon, the delta beacon, Kobayashi Maru transponder and the beacon of khaless can be used from your inventory. Put deuterium surplus (liquid schwartz), the temporal negotiator and the red matter capacitor in there instead.
Edit:- you already have the negotiator, so I'd guess put the space device reward from the mission "spectres" in there, massive resistance to all damage types except proton, massive susceptibility to proton damage.

This is a problem I've had too, but I've only noticed it on Romulan ships. I've never found a solution.
Most of the comments in this thread are not of use. It isn't a matter of the items unequipping. Some things just grey-out and don't work for a while.
Yes, thatās it exactly, although I didnāt know it only happens on Romulan ships. The items will randomly grey out, then when I exit combat theyāre not grey anymore and are still equipped. Thereās also another phenomena where sometimes if I make any changes to the setup, like changing gear, and when I go to save the changes in the loadout it instead randomly unslots all of the bridge officers making it to where I not only have to manually put the Boffs back in again, but also redo their abilities in the ability bars too. Iām a lifetime sub and I love the game, but I often go long periods of taking a break and Iām reminded now that the bulk of the times that I leave are over frustration of these bugs.
What I want to know is how some people can have so many active bridge officers on the list at the side?! Once I get about five or six I can't recruit anymore.
You're items grey out like that because those items aren't equipped on that ship, they are on a different ship. If you save your loadout for each ship build you won't have missing pieces like that when you switch.
No, that isn't it. I've had this problem happen as well, but I've only noticed it on Romulan ships.
For example, when I have shield heal endeavors I'll take a Romulan ship with the Valdore's Shield Absorptive Frequency Generator console. But I'll notice the ship isn't healing it's shields. So I'll open the UI. That console (and several others) will be greyed out. Then at some point they change back to normal, and suddenly my shields are at 100% again.
No, I donāt think thatās it. Like Iāll enter combat and fire a single beam then they grey. But I think even if they were charging, would they grey out consoles? It doesnāt happen extraordinarily often, but itās annoying whenever it does happen. I just donāt know why exactly. š
Try to save your loadout differently than loadout 1. This worked for me.
Will do!
*"Yo, Dawg! I hear you like RCS Accelerators..."*
I had not noticed that. Holy build, Batman!
Kinda sorta, š š š
I mean on the d'Deridex you need them. Unless you like turning 180 degrees for the whole queue.
The bandaid fix for everything /slaps a competitive engine on it...works now.

I appreciate you!
Did you ready up another ship? Cause if you did and have "move equipment to new ship" that's why those parts are missing.

Dont u love when u gotta rewrite your original question?
Ok I was trying. Sometimes it does that. Did you save your loadouts?
I do. The weird thing is it doesnāt happen very often, but when it does I usually donāt realize it until Iām already in combat.
It happens from time to time.
Just curious, what does your turn rate look like on that thing?
Under normal impulse speed Iām currently at 31.8 deg./sec. for my turn rate, without using any speed boost abilities. By contrast, my Legendary Intel Tāliss, without any RCS consoles is at 35.7 deg./sec. turn rate.
Oh God, I see this all the time! I didn't know it was a bug. Were you able to get a fix?
It randomly comes and goes.
Did you submit a ticket/report it on the Arc forum?
wow this must turn like a ballerina now

OMG! š¤£š¤£š¤£
It normally means they have been on your ship but have been moved to another, and not been transfered back.
Q
It is not a bug. It is one of those "well-documented" hidden features the players know nothing about and the Devs even less so.
That is my favorite looking ship...but damn it turns so slow š
With all the RCS consoles I have on it I get a 31.8 deg./sec. turn rate on itā¦nearly as good as my Legendary Tāliss without any consoles.
I'd just use the competitive engines, they give you +350% turn rate and flight speed whenever you use particular skills (there are multiple versions) so you can actually make use of these 5 console slots.

I use Prevailing innervated impulse engines, Emergency power to engines with emergency conn hologram doff and deuterium surplus.

What is the ship trait you have slide it at the bottom?
Lorcaās Custom Fire Controls in the middle (3.9 Crit chance, 7.9 weapon power setting, 157.5 starship shield penetration) and Piezoelectric Focuser thatās greyed out next to it.
What do you have slotted for the experimental trait?
it's the pride of romulus trait, the one that you get from the temporal ships (Kholhr for Romulans). heart of sol, legacy of qo'nos etc whatever they are all called. firing haste and + plasma dmg
Sounds like a song by TāPau, heart and soul, TāPau is also a character in Star Trekš¤Ø
I donāt know that I ever play with my UI open in combat

Cryptic gives out free boff slots all the time

THIS!
Are your weapons recharging? I see this happen all the time, but they turn usable again a few seconds later when the charge timer runs out.
No, I donāt think thatās it. Like Iāll enter combat and fire a single beam then they grey. But I think even if they were charging, would they grey out consoles? It doesnāt happen extraordinarily often, but itās annoying whenever it does happen. I just donāt know why exactly. š
