Buying BOFFS from the Requisition Officer : What you see is not what you get

vulcancourier

I understand each time you view the BOFF's available from the Requisition Officer the BOFFS skills are randomly generated. Specifically the Intelligence and Command BOFFS.

The issue is what you are provided as a BOFF skills set is not what you get when you purchase the BOFF.

Powers and genders randomly change.

I get its only 240 dilithium per purchase; but it is a misrepresentation when one set of skills are offered for sale and a completely different set is delivered.

At the very least, please, put a disclaimer so people purchasing an Intelligence or Command BOFF from the vendor aren't surprised with the lock-box random prize generator model being applied.

I don't usually like to bring up unrelated issues in bug report threads, but in this case, since it's also related to randomized stats, I think it's relevant:

Mission rewards do the same thing. Delta Rising added randomized weapons and weapon mods to a lot of the missions. What you see when you pick up a mission is no guarantee of what you'll actually get when you finish it.

I'm assuming this is by design, as much as I dislike it, but it'd be nice if the tooltips, in both of these cases, informed you that you're getting something randomly generated at purchase/completion, not what you currently see.
