How/Where do you turn on Talaxian BOFF's Salvage Trait?

Normally to reset traits I'd go to ESD, but for some reason, the Salvage trait for my 300 Lobi BOFF is staying Inactive and won't let me click it to turn it on.
What am I doing wrong?

As I said, he SHOULD have that trait as a racial, and there IS one empty space left in the Traits lineup, but that trait, the one true trait worth having that boff for imo, remains Inactive and unclickable.
Change maps. There were bugs with captain traits not being changeable and that cleared some. Might work on a boff too.
Is your Talaxian seated at a BO station? That may be it.
Also, any word on the customization?
Tried that. Relogged, traveled from ESD. And even tried to check on New talaxia. Still unclickable. :mad:
does the boff maybe have to be active.. ie ship crew or away team?? im guessing it could be a passive ability
All BOff space traits that I am aware of only work when a BOff is seated at a station.
I thought that trait was passive...
Read it and double-checked. Yep. He's sitting in the right seat all right. Just that his Salvage Trait still sez "This trait is inactive".
Passive or not. If it's listed as inactive, it's not gonna be working, period.
Maybe it auto-activates in combat? I suppose the test would be to leave that window open in combat?
Nope. Even popped open the window during combat and it wasn't active. Like I keep saying, the dang box in the window is unchecked and refuses to be clickable.
So is the BOff customizable like the Xindi, able to wear faction uniforms? Debating whether to get it before they fix it.
I have my Talaxian wearing the Delta Intel outfit, so yes.
And as for what I was talking about regarding the Trait glitch, here is the window I'm getting (with trouble spot enlarged for detail):

The box refuses to be clicked or checked in any way, whether I am in space, or on ESD, or even the New Talaxian Homeworld. I really wanted to get some Salvaged tech for my Crafting and I can't because of this. It's driving me nuts.
Well I hope a gm or customer service can help you. That's not cool.
I note a distinct lack of good space traits. That means only Fed will use him.
Fed would usually have 1 fleet sup ROM operative, one efficient, one leadership (possibly a plain ROM operative-fleet in leftover holes..so a fed won't really lose anything with that ugly boff
ROM will be in 5 superior ROM operatives. Klingon will be in 5 nausicans or 4 and a sup ROM operative, so they have to pay in damage for their trait...that currently doesn't work? Priceless!
fyi, not everyone feels the need to min-max through STO content, some people even find it enjoyable to deliberately Not min-max, play unique builds, and even role-play their crew configuration and ship designs. Its not like this is an MLG Esport title, there are no ranking systems. But by all means, go for that 1% extra damage.
Even then, min-maxing fully would mean a totally separate ground and away team crew.
In which case, the complaint would be the presence of ANY space trait at all. ;-)
You are not doing anything wrong. Its bugged. All we can do is wait for the bug fix, same as it was with the xindi boff special trait.
Yes I did try that. I dont think its an intel only trait since is not working on intel ships either. Spent 2 hours doing gameplay with a Intel Phantom escort having the boff slotted. Did a patrol, mindscape mission and a borg disconected pve action and no R&D drops.
