Any rank ground item on B.O.'s?

I noticed I can equip my B.O.'s with any rank ground items. I can put a Subcommander weapon on a Lt. Does this put some limitations on the higher rank weapon?

    the only limitation to what your BO's can equip is what you can equip. the equipment system goes by YOUR rank, not the officers rank.

    you can put VA rank equipment on an ensign BO, so long as you are VA.

    You should have all your BOs promoted all the way up to Commander if you're using them on the ground (assuming you are at least Captain). Otherwise they are not gaining access to all four of their abilities. Boffs you don't use on the ground, you don't have to bother putting equipment on. It does them no good in space, though they can be handy as extra storage.

    BOs you only use in space you only have to promote them far enough to match the bridge station they're slotted in. So, if you have a Boff in a Lieutenant bridge station, you can just promote them as far as Lieutenant.
