[3.30] - Assigning Manager from ship not working - Fix in a future build.
hi,
I tried 3 times to asigne a manager to a defence station from the ship docked at the station and nothing happens.

We're going to need a bit more information than that. The simplest way to give it to us would be to provide a savegame and steps to reproduce the problem from there.

There is a ship parked at the station named MANAGER TEST.

Re: [3.30] - Asignin Manager from ship not working
So, I have that same issue, of assigning a manager to a station.
I have the ship dock at the station, then select the person on the ship, comm him, have him work someplace else for me, select the station, select manager, assign... and he leaves the ship, but never takes over as manager. He's just gone.... and there doesn't appear to be anyone anywhere on any of the docks or walk around spaces.
BUG: Also, when interacting with a ships crew, it freezes up the information tab for me. So if I dock a freighter, and I look at my crew, which are all currently service crew. If I hit that little up arrow for skill to reorder them high to low or low to high, and then change from Current Role to Management or Service Crew... it stops working. The game keeps running, and I can do other stuff, but I can't get to OTHER ships info screens, and mess about with their crew, see crews individual ratings in other areas asides from service crew. Though I'll start a separate thread for this....

have the same issue, what worked for me was to dock a ship at the station, teleport to the station, then assign the manager from the ship and it seems to be working, done it 4 times in a row so far with no issues.

That's the one I was trying to assign a manager to when I encountered the bug as well.Xenon_Slayer wrote: ↑Fri, 26. Jun 20, 14:55Which station is that?grapedog wrote: ↑Fri, 26.

Re: [3.30] - Assigning Manager from ship not working - Devs on the case.
Thanks for the reports. This will be fixed in the next build.
To avoid this, do not assign service or marines to be managers or shiptraders if both the station and their ship is far away from you.
It will work if you are nearby, where you can see the person leave the ship and walk to the office.
Unfortunately, those people who disappeared are gone. Similarly, there is a bug where you can assign service crew and marines to stations, which leads to other issues. It is best to avoid doing that as we can't promise that those people will be returned.

Re: [3.30] - Assigning Manager from ship not working - Fix in a future build.
Actually, assigning a new person from a station as a Manager to my Station was the one that worked.
Re: [3.30] - Assigning Manager from ship not working - Fix in a future build.
I tried to assign manager too many times before I read this forum, I think I did it like 5 times. Now it says "There is no free space for this person on the selected object." when I try to do again they way you said.
What I can do now? I don't see any personnel on that station. Will this also get fixed or do I just rebuild the station?

It's the station missing manager, there is only one.

Re: [3.30] - Assigning Manager from ship not working - Fix in a future build.
@ krlc: I think that is exactly the sort of issue that Xenon_Slayer in his advice hoped that you could avoid as it may not be recoverable. In your case it may be best to pull up one of the saves you backed up before playing the 3.30 beta and starting again in the beta from that. Avoid the manager transfer situation until it is reported fixed. At least we are still on beta 1 so not too much progress should be lost.
This just illustrates why play intended for long-term gaming progress but using beta versions is not a good idea.

@Alan Philipps: If it's not recoverable it's ok, the station has only 4 modules so far. I will just rebuild the station then.
