Captain level bridge power? Speculation ...from tribble

mikefl

I captured this screenshot from tribble tonight of the stations screen for bridge crew... it shows a fifth power slot on my engineer. I don't know why or if its a mistake but maybe we are getting an extra bridge power. Let the speculation begin...

Probably a bug, or a placeholder for a future update.

There was something else that showed a captain rank for boffs and when asked directly borticus (I think) said not was a bug and there were no plans for such to be implemented. I'll try to search it, but I'm really bad at searches.

Likely it is a bug, the tribble icons are a bit messed up and they're still playing around with it. Could report it as a graphic bug for that ship?

If my memory is correct I believe a dev said no to this so I'm guessing either Photoshop or bug.

Captain Level ability:You can't go on away missions.
On activation: Your first officer objects to you, the commanding officer, going down to the planet to lead a dangerous away mission. As such, they lead it themselves. The ground combat is auto resolved and you get back to the more fun Space combat instantly.
