Shouldn't we be able to do what we want with them? You know, if we've spent the time/resources/dilithium/zen on making their purchase, shouldn't we then be able to move them around?
In the description for all purchasable Bridge Officers (via the C-Store) it reads "If you discard, sell, trade, or use a X Bridge Officer for training, you WILL NOT be able to claim a free replacement from the C-Store." X represents the Bridge Officer in question. I am fine with this, and I understand it. Furthermore, if your purchase is one of the Borg Bridge Officers, an additional message is shared: "You can only have a single X Bridge Officer active at once." Again, I am fine with, and understand that fully.
However, taking directly from the first part of the description, I should be able to openly trade my Borg Bridge Officer with anyone (on the same faction) that doesn't already have one. I attempted to do this earlier with two people, and I wasn't able. I want to move my Borg Bridge Officer (which I've paid for) to another character, and I can't. Why?
I can move Caitian Boffs and Aenar Boffs, so why not Liberated Borg Boffs? Are those that are liberated now discriminated against? What gives?
As long as it is boxed, you should be able to move it around freely, But I suspect what you are experiencing is the remnants of those of us who have the freely reclaimable Pre-Order officer:
If we were allowed to give them away freely, there would not be much of a business in it for them (since we could just claim one, give it away, claim one, give it away....).
I am not sorry that this spills into the officer that you guys have bought (It's not my fault after all)... But it is of cause sad that this may be the case.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
The officer in question isn't reclaimable though. Once it's traded, sold or used to train, we/you must then purchase 500zen again, so it's not like we can trade and reclaim.

I am aware... But I am also convinced, that once unpacked it's identical to the one I have serving on my bridge, wich can't be traded because of the above mentioned reasons.

Can't transfer either the c store liberated borg, or the lobi store liberated Romulan. But like you said, I had no problems moving my Aenar. Seems strange that it works for one, but not the others.

Indeed. If this is the case however (which it seems to be) then the C-Store description needs to clearly state such, save people making purchases that don't do what they say they'll do.
All it needs is a "this item cannot be traded once activated" and we're all good. As it stands, me and Cryptic have a problem.
Yea... I have both: The original white one, and was granted a new purple during the upgrade.
Not much difference of cause, but there are the bragging rights.

Oddly, I've never seen anyone say this about the Bug.
It's strange. I bought a purple Nausicaan, but can't put him on the exchange or even mail him. Does direct trade work ? And how did the Orion Boff end up on the exchange if those are bound ?

Since you made the post, I've been asking myself the same question.
For all I know, All the Diplomacy/marauder BO's are BoP, and always have been, so I can't quite explain it.
The white ones are indeed trade-able, but again, those are outdated software.

But I'm sure I heard a couple of times that people were stacking multiple Nausicaans on the fed side..... And a guy in this thread said he sold one....

Well I suppose it could be the occasional glitch... After all, the Diplo BO's are just enemy-side regular BO's with their alliance variable altered to allow the purchase of them.

A gitch would be strange, because that's not very reliable. Maybe direct trade works ? It works with the romulan embassy boffs, even though 90% of their body is lost in the transfer.

Yes it does, because I've done it (several weeks ago).
If you've reached T4 Diplomacy you can claim one of those Bridge Officers from that guy in Quinn's office. You'd then have to activate him (so he's a member of your roster) at which point you can then trade him to others (in exchange for EC/items whatever).
I don't know whether this works the same for the KDF reward however.

If I remember correctly, you used to be able to slap the rewarded bridge officer on the exchange, until Cryptic made them bound (in candidate form).
That explains it, thank you.
Great now I have to use the Zone chat to peddle my small army of Diplomacy Boffs.
You could always try the Trading Channel? Someone there might buy one or two from you?
How many do you have, and are they the White or Purple ones? I ask out of potential interest.
I have one purple Nausicaan and didn't claim the others on my other characters. We could be looking at a dozen more Boffs. I have 26 characters, a few are new and don't have T4 in Diplomacy yet. And I guess no one wants KDF Feddies. :eek:

Throw me a potential price for one (likely Orion) and I'll see.

Unlikely, seeing as they can't be customized or anything (otherwise I would).
I have no idea about pricing, because I can't compare. The only Boff I found on the exchange is 500 mil ec. Someone sold a Nausicaan for 6 mil ec here, but that doesn't mean people won't pay a lot more.

It was me that sold the Nausicaan for 6mil.
I figured a Bridge Officer (from the C-Store) costs 500zen, the same as a Fleet Ship Module. Fleet Ship Modules were (at the time) selling for 8million EC. I knocked 1/4 the price off cause it was (somewhat) used goods. Thus, 6mil.

Caitian Boffs from the z-store cost 45 mil ec on the exchange, strange as it is. Maybe a supply/demand thing.
When diplomacy was put in the boff reward was common quality and could be sold on the exchange uncommissioned and traded when commissioned. When they revamped diplomacy those who already claimed their boffs were re-rewarded a purple quality boff of the same species they claimed previously straight to their inventory. These were also saleable and possibly tradable, I never commissioned the ones I have. Then Cryptic patched them to be non saleable for people after.

They can be traded in the box. I have them out of the box.
(Keep in mind, commissioned bridge officers must have all gear unequipped to trade.)
They can be sold as long as boxed, and traded directly between characters.
Not sure about the uncommon ones though.
They used to be white, but were upgraded around season 5 (+/-) if memory serves

Oddly enough, I just checked the only prirple exchange Boff on the axchange was an Orion female for 500 million ec.
I have never claimed a single purple Diplomacy Boff, so I could make a fortune, but 500 million looks more like storage than a serious offer.

I think that's a different argument entirely. :P

It's funny, Aenar Boffs go for 10 mil ec, even though they cost the same amount of zen, really odd.
