Mystrey Boff

Ok I have replayed the mission "Smash and Grab" a few times now as I like the Disruptor-plasma Hybrid weapons (any chance of getting them somewhere else as well?)

When I complete a transport and I am ready to Transport I get a message from a Boff called "Lekune" hes an Andorian, I only have Romulan and Remen Boffs on my ship, sent the fed one (human female) back to the Academy, she was interfering too much

Yeah. I did a replay and got that too. Thought it was some plot thing that was added or I missed the first time.

Also when I redid the mission where I get the Reman chick, a lot of the pop-ups turned into a Bolian.

When you go on an away mission and you take all of your BOffs with you, generic officers will be the ones to contact you from your ship when the need arises.

despite your Alliance; shouldn't these be generic romulan officers then?

With my KDF-Rom I'm kept getting hailed by some aliens and orions during this mission. Yet despite what someone pointed out, it's not that I took all my boffs on an away mission, as I do have several other active officers in my roster.

Also, I've noticed that on other occasions I'm being hailed by my few KDF officers which I didn't even assign to any station or away team. I've got all the Romulan/Reman story boffs in both cases, but I'm still being hailed by my KHG Photonic and KDF Borg.

My best guess is that the code they added to make faction choice more complex isn't stable and the issue is that the game is unable to locate your extant Boffs and thus assumes you don't have any.

The initial group of 4 Boffs you get as a Romulan seem to be particularly buggy in this way.

The last patch fixed an issue where you couldn't slot them as DHs. Well, now they're the ONLY RR Boffs that actually STAY slotted when you transition maps. Sure you can slot others, but they unslot when you change maps. So... it's obvious that they aren't coded quite the same as normal Boffs. I don't know the exact details, but that seems to be the issue.

in a related issue... i posted about this last night.

Like 95-99% of pop-ups are from Tovan. This isnt just the episodes but generic patrols, etc. But every pop up is Tovan.

He isnt slotted anywhere so he shouldnt be speaking. There are times when I should get my actual Tac talking. Or one of the other stations but for what ever reason Tovan is the the self designated mouth piece.

The was one replay I was doing that I was shocked that it actually used my real Tac for the pop up and not Tovan.

Sometimes it seems like that much of this was predertimed when they coded and maybe if you dont do what they ASSUMED you would be doing, it messes up the responses. Like I see them never imagining that Tovan wouldnt be on an away mission so all the babble is by him whether he is actually there or not

Huh, Tovan is my only Tac officer I've got sloted in both the ship station as well as the away team, and I don't recall getting hails from him recetnly at all - I'm getting hailed by my KHG Photonic Boff, which isn't slotted anywhere at all.
