I have a suggestion to give more complexity and fun to the DOff system:
Boffs should be able to be included in some high profile missions (purple missions perhaps), and for the duration of the mission, is not available in your bridge roster.. so if you are going to an away mission, or combat in space, you have to use another officer to replace him or her.
The Boff, along with the Doffs needed for the mission could be injured, so you have to think very carefully if you are going to send a well trained Boff to a mission, it cannot die, but injured.
A well trained Boff, should increase your chances of success, and no traits are necessary for them, but for the Doffs in the mission.
This will have the particular advantage that you could also buy new Boffs slots, as you may want to have some for Doffs missions and some for space and bridge.

What do you think?.
Simple answer No, and why would I want to gimp my ships abilities so that I can send a BO on a DOff mission, when I have over 100 willing officers who can do the mission for me. Seems to be an unnecessary complication to the system.
Well, ussually because we all have a lot of Boffs that are sitting on the bridge or in your Officer Slots doing nothing, and as you can advance with skill points obtained in the Doffs missions, would be great for when you are away from the game (Like in real life).
at most you need what... 9 boffs if you want your bridge crew unique from your ground team? i know some people have like 32 or so BO slots.... so it would be an interesting idea if they could manage it. give those BO's you dont use something to do.

Anyway, thanks for your input
