Boffs can't/won't use the 2 or 3 piece Omega set bonus abilities

Bridge officers on away missions will not/can not use abilities gained from equipping 2 or 3 pieces of the Omega reputation sets. This includes the maco self shield heal, the adapted maco hit point heal, the omega self cloak, and the integrated remodulation ability. It appears to me that boffs can't use any skill that they aren't trained to do, or that isn't located on their 4 slot belt?. I suspect that they can't see these powers for some reason. Please fix this as soon as possible.

    My BOFF with the Jem'Hadar ground set cloaks randomly, as it designed to do.

    As far as I know, it should work for my BOFFs with the MACO/Omega ground sets.

    That isn't the same thing. The jem boff has a pasive shroud skill, and the full jem set has a 5% chance proc on being hit, that can cause a randomly fired off shroud. That's not the same thing I'm talking about. I mean a real power that requires intentional activation by the boff, that isn't built into the boff itself. It is added to the boff after the fact, and they can't see it or use it.

    I tested this, and it my away team won't use those skills either. Tested on borg away mission and they wouldn't use the remodulator or the 2 piece abilities. Makes it a waste of time to farm any sets for bridge officers if they can't get the full benefit out of them.

    Boffs are very poorly AIed in the game, they will use the remodulator oddly enough, the other set skills... no. They also have no skill in using these abilities, they seem to use them completely randomly with the exception of heals.

    My first officer cloaks occasionally via the Omega Force set. But is very rarely / randomly.

    +1, BOFFs aren't firing off their set bonus powers for me, either.

    While we're talking about holes in BOFF power usage, I have also noticed that my BOFFs will ignore a combat horta placed in their equipment tray. I've been through hours of ground combat without ever having a BOFF call in the horta for support. Has anyone else come across this problem?
