Over 400,000 credits and 3 different Very Rare (purple) Gorn bridge officers purchased from exchange......
Each one turned into Rare (blue) quality Gorn bridge officers....
Why?!
Are the Science Gorn bridge officers glitched or set to be Rare blue quality only?
INB4: "why do you want Gorn bridge officer?, Orion for that eye candy"
Gorns are cool and I'm eager to see if bridge officers throw boulders if they're angry in ground battles.

Edit: I was mainly thinking of Romulans and Nausicaans, which are two of the very few races I've sought after for their Traits.
Going back to Gorn boff candidates, I agree just ignore it as their performance doesn't suffer. Yes, they are way cool! I have a toon with a full away team of Gorns and let them loose on Defera (back when you still could) and they were a wrecking crew
They (gorn boff candidates) have been that way so long I really couldn't tell you if it's an unresolved bug that's so old it's accepted as normal or working as intended. Maybe somebody with a better memory could fill in?
p.s. they don't throw boulders but give a tac gorn boff a bat'leth mixed in with some melee abilities and they live up to their name.
The gorns I had (dismissed) had "superior" traits but I'm sure they lost the superior trait since that's only on very rare Boffs. I'll try looking for another and if it turns "blue" I'll give it a chance and equip the gorn with Q's Mek'leth to kill the borg easier.
I'm on Xbox, which melee skills recommended for gorn? All we have are sweep and lunge 😫
I assume that their animations are the same for console as they are for PC. I always love watching any Boff with a melee weapons, and the Lunge skill. I just enjoy seeing them jump into the enemy, and start tearing them up. You can also test them on old missions that do have Borg on them. Just put one of the ground skills on them, and let them go after the Borg. See which one you prefer.
Hope this helps.
Razar.
Ah, I was mainly thinking of Romulans and Nausicaans, which are two of the very few races I've sought after for their Traits. Edited original post.
I've never had the traits drop on mine when equipping, anything with Superior traits still had them even if the rarity dropped to where it shouldn't have them (I.E. Blue dropping to Green). It's only the Candidate rarity that matters when it comes to traits.
Been a while since I read the explanation, but the gist of it was covered here already.
Just something about certain species traits making purple impossible and so the BOFFs get downgraded when activated.
Like with the Saurians? I could be wrong but I think that efficient is the difference.
Efficient only comes at one grade. The Saurian either has it or doesn't have it. There is no "Basic Efficiency" or "Superior Efficiency", there is only "Efficient" (call it standard), and so combined with the racial ground traits that they all have, if they have efficient then they can not meet the requirements to be purple (two standard traits, two superior traits).
It's can be a problem for people that want everything all nice and purple, and it's something that I would like to see fixed.
If that means "no purple Saurians (or Gorns or whatever)" then so be it, though I would prefer they just make sure that those traits not conflict with their quality.
Whether that means giving them a higher grade on whatever trait (including inventing higher grades for some traits if needed) or making sure that they leave enough room to fit enough higher grade traits in alongside the standard species traits doesn't much matter to me.
I just don't think that it's right that someone might think that they are getting a purple BOFF, possibly paying top EC to get one, and then end up with a blue anyway.
No, Rare boffs DO get Superior traits, just one of them instead of two.
You can get cheap blue Romulan SROs instead of paying extra for VR ones with the exact same trait.
