Aren't my boffs supposed to be with me?

I've seen pictures of people having their boffs behind them on the character select screen. However, they don't show up for me. For my main character at least, it also almost always shows him in the first uniform in the list, not the one I'm currently wearing.

Am I missing something? Is it a bug?

    The Character select screen should show your character, and what ever Boffs you have assigned as "Away Team" members (under the "Stations" tab of your character window. If you haven't actually selected/assigned "Away Team" Boffs in that area, no Boffs will appear beside you on the character select screen.

    If you have assigned Boffs there, and they're still not showing, then yes, it's a bug.

    How about the wrong ship showing? Half the time its my shuttle instead of my starship. This is unacceptable with or without my meds.

    Should and does is 2 different animals. my main has had an away team setup since i got the first BOFF but he was the last to have them show on the character select screen. It is just another bug like havibng your shuttle in place of the actual ship or the legs of the player where the ship should be.

    I was having this happen to my Rihan character, from the very strat. Once I customized bridge officer outfits, they finally started appearing. So maybe visiting a tailor, and playing around with what your boffs wear, will pop them up on the character select screen, alongside their captain, for you as well.

    I selected the standard away team thing and now they're appearing.

    I noticed that, for me at least, if I logged off from a character from on my bridge, it seems to show the shuttle when I log back on the next time. Not sure how true that relationship is though.

    It's pretty random, actually. It seems as if it has some defaults, then loads in the other info. So if it fails to load stuff, you may end up with the first costume in your list, or no boffs, or the wrong ship, etc.
