Request for easier/safer captain training

Could a way be implemented that allows players to train their non-identical profession boffs (e.g. a tactical boff owned by an engineer captain) with the better abilities without having to:
  • find someone of the same faction/allegiance
  • who is willing to train
  • with one free boff slot
  • who doesn't steal the boff
  • who doesn't charge through the nose to train the doff

Plus for a way to train 'Bound Doffs' with captain trainable skills?

For Example, Can we please be allowed to send our boffs through the account shared bank (or create a new type of account bank i.e. account reserve roster [yes slap a zen tag on it, i would buy a slot or two!]) to allow players to send one toon's boff to a toon who can train the boff, then send back quickly, efficiently and safely?

(the downside being account bound doffs are still unable to be switched) {and of course for a boff to be eligible to be placed in the reseve roster it must have all slots unequiped, so no trading account bound items/lobi purchases etc}


Thanks for reading thus far

    Yes, there is. It's done in a few simple steps:

    1) Find a friend in your fleet/on your friends list who has the Career and Faction you need.
    2) Get friend on TS/Vent/Some other voice comms (optional).
    3) Tell friend what ability you need.
    4) Meet up with friend in game.
    5) Trade friend BOff. Have friend train BOff. Get BOff back.
    6) Thank friend and go on merry way.
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    This is what i end up doing, but it falls to
    • Is the friend online?
    • Is the friend not busy?
    • Does the friend have an empty boff slot/do you have an empty boff slot
    • Is the friend (assuming its an online friend) act like a friend and not pinch the boff (it will have happened to someone and id rather that not be me :P)

    I recently had the need to train a skill, and the only fleet mate that was online/actually responded was unable to assist due to a hefty STF gone wrong, and he was ardent to see it through to the end, (aint taking it out on him, but still do you see where im coming from ^^)
