Is 5 the max number of Bridge Officer stations on a ship?

I seem to only see ships with up to 5 Bridge Officer stations... and always 1 Commander and 1 Lt. Commander, 2 Lts and 1 Ensign. Is this the max you can have?

    There are one or two ships that drop the ensign and upgrade one of the lts to a 2nd lt comm.

    But 5 is the maximum so far.

    Your saying it has 4 Stations total but 1 Commander, 2 Lt. Commanders and 1 Lt.?

    Do you happen to know what ships those are?

    5 Boffs with 12 Boff abilities are the maximum per ship. That is the standard configuration on all the T5 ships.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    One or 2 are KDF Bird of Preys. The Voth Sci ship is another. Most (all?) are gonna be lockbox, lobi or fleet ships.

    They're pretty rare. Most of them are KDF or Lockbox.

    Atrox carrier and another Fed ship have this too. One of the Undine ones also.

    There is precedent in the series for having a maximum of 5 Boff stations. The bridge officers in each of the series were:

    TOS:
    Spock
    Sulu
    Chekov
    Uhura
    Scotty (sometimes)

    TNG:
    Riker
    Troi
    Worf
    Data
    Wesley and/or Geordi (sometimes)

    DS9:
    Dax
    Worf
    O'brien
    Nog
    Bashir and/or Kira (sometimes)

    Voyager:
    Chakotay
    Tuvok
    Tom
    Harry
    Seven

    I doubt there's any engine limitation preventing them from making a 6-boff ship, just a design choice.

    One possibility for level 60, rather than T6 ships, would be to give us all a "First Officer" slot, which would give us some extra powers based on the class of boff slotted.

    That's ... actually ... not a bad idea! ...

    Perhaps 1 or 2 Captain's Class Specific abilities?

    Pick one of your BoFF's to promote to "First Officer" and then have the option, depending on the class, to pick one of 2 extra powers ...

    Tactical First Officer with Attack Pattern Alpha I (II, III?) / Tactical Initiative I (II, III?)
    Engineer First Officer with Nadion Inversion I (II, III?) / Rotate Shield Frequency I (II, III?)
    Scientist First Officer with Sensor Scan I (II, III?) / Scattering Field I (II, III?)

    ... hmmm maybe a little bit of OP'ness??
