Considering klingons start at higher rank it might be helpful if they either start with some EC at the beginning or that the starter missions give them some so they can retrain their boffs before they head out. Being stuck with just what ever is given to you from the get go is rather difficult considering you'll have to wait awhile until you can make use of your boffs which you can already promote from the start. Slight oversight if you ask me

Just store a couple of deflectors, impulse drives and shields from your fed toon and mail them to the KDF toon. Have him recycle it. I have done this on Holodeck to give a starting KDF character around 100k EC to setup uniforms and buy basic equipment from vendors.
run them over to the vendor in the bar and sell them. More money that way.
Zero was in ITS chat the other day and mentioned that for KDF characters created since the last update, should be getting Boffs normally on level up. KDF characters created before 10/20 are still broke. Unfortunately, mine is a pre 10/20 KDF and thus is still broke.

I agree with this. We need better BOffs and more choice in the matter, especially considering we start with eight, not four BOff slots to fill now.
:cool:
All Common, with Basic this and Basic that traits.
By Commander a Fed has a crew of mostly Uncommons with a Rare or two mixed in, or at least has the option of having that sitting in his Assignments tab.
:cool:
Meh. I'm not sure what part of the game you're playing where quality of BOffs matters. The OP's point about not having the EC to train them in the skills you want is more relevant. Once I have 4 BOffs (usually the first 4 I get) trained with the skills I want them to have, I usually treat all remaining BOffs I'm "awarded" as vendor trash. I put them on the exchange for cheap or dismiss them.
Now, if rarer BOffs had smarter AI... That I could see being valuable.
And then you notice that your ship has 5 stations to fill and you have no Dilithium or EC to buy a new one and/or change their skills. The point is that by Commander 2 you should have lots of BOffs and certainly enough EC to re-train them.
Use that console and you even get a Bird of Prey from it. I am thinking, but can't remember for sure, that you get some BO's from it too.
It's right next to the door, as you were heading to the main courtyard.
The rarer BO's often have skills you can't train, like Beam Overload 3 as an example. Also, many of them have passive skills that make a diffrence in ground combat and sometimes space.
I usually have a ground team and a space team, simply because I want the officers with those good passives on the ground. Nothing like watching my Vulcan nerve pinch someone or my Orion seduce them while I blast them in the face.
I still agree with all this right here ^.
The KDF are gimped in BOffs and Money for being started at a higher level until the L25 KDF revival is released.
Are you sure you are not talking about RedShirt server?
What would help is some EC payout on the orientation quest, some BOFF takens to enlist the standard BOFFs you want (not just any random three) and some means to promote the Boffs.
Well, I've learned from playing many characters that it is better to leave the Common dregs untrained and wait until I have some decent BOffs with useful traits before I train them up. I don't waste BOff skill points on Commons, especially not in the early game.
:cool:
Positive. It's on Tribble. I used it. It's not like I just make this stuff up.
just started a new KDF char the other day... i think they removed that console, as i travelled all over the barracks (where the fleet persons at) and havent found the requisition console.
