Boff Item Usage.

It's actually been quite a while since I've done a lot of ground combat which involved a full team of Boffs. Especially against the Borg.

And now that we've got all this wonderful new content including the revamped Borg zone missions I beamed down with my away team (all dressed in M.A.C.O. gear thanks to the amazing new customisation options) equipped them all with Frequency Modulator's only to have them pretty much standing there constantly using the item.

They're fine when it comes to combat, but as soon as it stops all I can hear is them all using the Remodulator again, and again and again and again. It's extremely annoying. I am really beginning to wish that I had farmed a lot more Borg STF's to get a full set for each so I didn't need them.

Is anybody else getting this issue or is it just me?

    Boffs are notorious for just using things that you give them, as they have zero situational awareness. They'll spam Remodulators even if they have an Anti-Borg set equipped (i'm not even sure they use the built-in remodulation power), or even if they're not fighting Borg.
    You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

    My Boffs have fractal remodulators, but they don't spam them constantly.

    This reminds me of a bug not long ago where if you equip a boff with a device, they'll constantly use it and won't stop. Have you tried re-equipping the remodulators, or putting them in another device slot?

    I haven't tried that, just waiting for the servers to come back up and I'll give it a shot. I've noticed that they do this with Tribbles too. Not as repetitive as the Remodulator but they tend to use them for no reason other than that they are out of combat.

    Try giving your boffs Hortas. :D ahahaaha!!!!

    On the UP side, since you can only have one Horta out at a time, if you give each of your boffs a Horta you can have a steady Horta presence in combat.

    sucks if they get in this mode with a stack of large hypos/shield charges/ power cells..... they tend to eat them up quickly.
