Can some one give us a screen shots and tell us how can you edit it?
It's an alien which you can customize however you want, like any other alien except with a few unique head attaches that are basically exposed electronics. So a screenshot wouldn't serve a purpose.
It has Superior Senses, Superior Creative, Reboot (which lets it revive itself at 50% health once every ten minutes) and an Android trait that makes it resistant to healing/confuses/toxic etc. very much like photonic officers and also gives it a melee damage bonus.

And do they give you any hint on the history? Is a soong type?

You click "Buy" in the BOff store menu and select any appearance you want from Aliengen. There's no story there. So it's whatever type you want it to be, though it's as tough to get a Soong colouring as it's always been in Aliengen.
By the BOff store do you mean the C-Store or the area on ESD where you can purchase BOffs?
ESD (or Quo'noS I suppose if you're playing Red, only picked it up on one character so far). It's under "Special" I believe. Same spot you get veterans.
There are certain tech hurdles to giving out reclaimable unique BOFFs like the android or the liberated Borg, which is why we have to offer it in one gender and career right now. (The veteran isn't reclaimable, you only ever get one, so it wasn't an issue there.) I'm hoping that we can get the code team to address this at some point so that I could make all the different versions available.

Really, you can have Unknown Species that come in Male or Female, but you need some special code to add a Female Android selection?

Why can it not be a token system like Diplomacy or the Caitian/Aenar system?

Because it's a vet reward, you are allowed to reclaim the BOFF if you discard it. This means that it's unlocked in the store simply by virtue of being a 700-day veteran. No token is used, because it's not a one-time-only deal.
If we weren't already posting on a Star Trek gaming board, I would totally point at you and shout "Neeerd!"
You know something and you are a nerd, not that bad imo. You don't know something and you are ignorant or any number of similar and less tasteful words. I think I will chose the lesser of two evils thank you. *Dances out*

So this means I should just wait until we have more choices?

Um. You realize I was just joking with you, right? I was calling us all nerds? Myself included?

No, go ahead and grab one now. If we gain the ability to give different versions in the future, then you should be able to discard your current one and get a different one instead.

Not really seeing as how you can dismiss and reclaim. Thus there's not much point to holding off unless you're incredibly concerned about tiny amounts of energy credits and BOff skill points.

You probably already thought of this but what if you would give us a token via the C-Store? If we don't have a token or a 700 day boff we can get one. So basically the same as with the vet boff, only difference we can get the token over and over again.
Actually you don't even have to check if someone has a 700 day BO to give him the token. You only have to check this if someone wants to get the BO.

No no. I guess my point is: if originally we're told we get two genders and we get one, why should I trust that if I take an Android now I'll be able to get a different one in the future?
However, if you're saying you're able to demonstrably dismiss this one and get a new one, I suppose that's a different story.
Not to harp on the issue; however, youd think that all the team members working on this MMO would be well versed in its limitations.
I was greatly looking forward to having many options on what to do with my Android and now it seems that I may have no choice but to take a class that I dont need and dump one of my long time current officers for to make use of it.
I hope to goodness its not an Engineer
I hope that this gender and class customization issue gets works out and all who get stuck with this current Android be given an option to drop it and reclaim the newer one.
How hard is it to make 6 options? Just make it either Male or Female, then either Tac, Sci or Eng. If can be cleverly disguised as an Alien, so we can customize it any way we want. Do we really have to have a Data army?
And since it's based on the reward and not token system. It can be random and we just discard and reclaim till we get the one we want.
I want a female engineer or science android boff. Preferably science boff.
No, go ahead and grab one now. If we gain the ability to give different versions in the future, then you should be able to discard your current one and get a different one instead.
By the way, JHeinig, I appreciate that you guys got this in for us. And especially appreciate that the Android has access to aliengen parts and its own unique parts.
I was just disappointed because I had a place in my bridge crew that I was very much hoping could be filled by a female android. It would just work so well with the story I'm developing for my crew.
So I hope you didn't take my questions as being too harsh.
* Get 700 day vet reward
* Claim male engineering android
* Then go claim female science android, since that is a different critter
* Then go claim male tactical android, since that is a different critter.
. . . and so on.
I'm working to get tech implemented that will let us put them all in a "unique group" that will allow you to have only one of them at a time, but put all twelve (male/female, eng/sci/tac, Fed/KE) into the game.
Incidentally, all the variants are made, we just need to work out the tech limitation.
I already know it'll more than likely be an "Automated personal unit" hence the recent doff addition. they've already said lots of times that soong types cannot be added as CBS said so.

No such thing as a female android. Then it would be a gynoid.
The BOff vendor in Operations on Deep Space 9 does NOT have the Android.
I'd love clarification on the gender choice issue for this BOff.

yup yup. *raspberries* Isn't interwebs fun?
So if we just don't claim our 700 day reward may we hang on to it until the boff is complete?

Here are some pics of the 'default' look of the BO. There are 9 different "Tech Attachements" that you can choose from.
Thanks, Phi.
That thing is gross looking
