Torpedo Spread 3 Question

tostrekkie7

How do you get the Jem Hadar from the Facility 4028 mission to train another BO in Torpedo Spread 3 now that the new BO Skill Training manuals are crafted in R&D?

After patch it can't be done.

Boffs can no longer train anyone and, neither can captains really nor, can the boff trainer.

What you have to do now, is buy training manuals for any skill rated at 2 or 1, while skills rated at 3 require a crafted skill manual.

You can either craft a skill 3 manual (provided your captain skills allow for training of a skill 3, although not really sure this even applies anymore) or, you can purchase one possibly made by someone else on the exchange.

You can craft any skill from a skill rating of 1 - 3, in the bridge officer training tab, located in you crafting listings.

As per the last podcast, we will be able to turn boffs into training manuals, but that feature wasn't ready for the anniversary. Hopefully we get that feature soon. It really sucks right now.

Torpedo Spread III is currently not trainable, nor is any other ability that could only be trained by consuming another boff. Cryptic has said they would restore this functionality in the future, but I don't know exactly when.

Thank you for the information guys. If I had known we were going to lose access to TS3 I would have grind the Facility 4028 mission for it before the R&D Skill Manuals were launched.

Note to Devs: If you're trying to decide how to put TS3 manual back into the game, please DON'T make us play Facility 4028 to get it. (To the best of my knowledge TS3 is the only skill in the game you have to obtain by playing a mission.) Here's my ideas:



Make High Yield 3 & Dispersal Pattern Beta 3 available to Tactical Captains who learn 3 ranks in Starship Projectile Weapons.

Make Torpedo Spread 3 available to Tactical Captains who learn 6 ranks in Starship Projectile Weapons.

OR

Make DPB3 available at 3 ranks, HY3 at 6 ranks, and TS3 at 9 ranks of Starship Projectile Weapons.

OR

Make DPB3 available at 3 ranks, and HY3 at 6 ranks of Starship Projectile Weapons &

TS3 at 3 ranks of Starship Projectile Weapons Specialization.

Just a thought.

Yes, the rarer skill 3 abilities, are on fubar mode atm.

A fix would be highly appreciated or, make it part of the boff training by opening all skill 3 sets, not limiting them boff only!

You can still find random Boffs with TS3. Evaluate X Bridge Officer Candidate Doff mission is a great source of them since it costs nothing and has a high change of giving a purple Boff. (usually above 40% when done with a purple doff that has good traits.)

All boffs still come with a full set of skills, it's just pre-anni boffs have their skills hidden for some weird reason. Newly recruited bofffs don't.
