Good changes incoming.
I'm glad we're getting back the ability to train certain rarer BOFF powers, even at the cost of the officer which is pretty much the exact same as before though at least now once we teach another officer that power they will keep it forever.
Glad the accolade for Dust to Dust is being fixed, I've completed 6 runs of that now and not gotten the accolade once.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

[*]Removed the Kobali Soldier 1 boots from the Off-Duty Robes category.
Hmmm... The Kobali Soldier 1 boots are already not available in the Off-Duty Robes category. Callevista said that was WAI, but he was going to look into possibly adding them as discussed here:
We did not allow the Kobali Soldier boots on the Off-Duty Robes category because it would potentially clip through other existing Robes. I'll look at these again, we maybe able to get the less-bulky Kobali Soldier 1 boots to work with the existing Robes. But the Kobali Soldier 2 Boots certainly will not work with the Off-Duty Robes.
Are these Release Notes intended to mean the boots have been added to Off-Duty Robes category?

Tribble is being brought down for maintenance to update it to build ST.47.20150112a.28.
Systems:
Bridge Officers can now be converted into a Training Manual.
To begin this process, in either the inventory or Bridge Officer Candidate window, right click an Officer and choose to Create Manual.
The player can now choose to create one Manual from one of the available powers that the Bridge Officer has.
Pressing Choose Manual will create the Manual and place it into the inventory to be used later.
If the Bridge Officer is bound, the Manual will also be bound once made.
Commissioned Bridge Officers can no longer be traded or placed onto the Exchange.
Players can still sell, trade, and mail uncommissioned Bridge Officers unless they are bound.
Reassure me: "uncomissioned Bridge Officers" are all boff candidates, right? Even those that are already in out candidate lists, correct?
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

Soylent Training Manuals are made of people! Sorry, had to go there.
Glad to see we can still sell/trade/mail BOFFs around. Any progress on fixing BOFFs so they can be mailed? Unable to drag them from inventory or the candidate roster at this time to mail them around. At least this is the case currently on Holodeck.
"General Server Stability" means they are bolting the servers to the floor, right? Wouldn't you be upset if Branflakes were to go stumbling into the server room, knock a rack over, and bring the game down for a DAY? SO, they aren't scrwing it up, they are bolting it down.

Right now it would seem the Boffs in the candidate roster are somehow bound to the player as well.

Ah yes the technology is here to turn your betazoid love slave into a padd to smuggle out of the federation. I knew this day would come to bad I was not around to see it.
My most important question: Where will the Boff Training be moved to?
It's just removed from the summary on the first "page". It's still on the R&D tab, where you start assignments. Makes sense to me, since Officer Training has no level.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
I realize this isn't the proper thread for it, but I wanted to make sure it had the best chance of being seen, or even responded to. Still, of course, these fixes are great
Was named Trek17.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Not sure if anyone else noticed, but this means no more trading the diplomacy level 4 boffs. So get your all Orion slave girl crew while you can, i guess.
Why would you block the trade of commissioned officers? Special officers cannot be traded any way. Sending a regular officer to a new player to help them out doesn't affect you. New people need help and this is a tool to help them...
Oh and it says tribble not holodeck. Is that a typo?
Is there any chance the devs could look at the Thoron Mines from the Delta Reputation store as they are completely broken. No proc, no thoron bonus. 20,000 dilithium and all you get are basic Quantum mines instead of Thoron mines.
Items that cost dilithium shouldnt be left broken this long. It rips the players off as it takes us 2 and a half days of grinding to get a that broken items. A great way to drive players away.

Commissioned Bridge Officers can no longer be traded or placed onto the Exchange.
Some of us have a large number of unused commissioned bridge officers, and occasionally enjoy passing them on to other players who can get more use out of them. This also prevents RP crew transfers (which I have personally done several times). We've never been able to place commissioned bridge officers on the exchange, but we still need to be able to transfer them to others.
Really confused as to why you're eliminating the trading of commissioned officers. Is it a side effect of other changes being made or is it being done purposefully? I can't imagine there's a balance issue here. Can we get some clarification?

Glad the VOs are being added to Taris, too. I've been putting off running that mission on Holodeck until they're in.

Great, time to clear them out -- they have been mail or stuck in box for quite some time.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

Me too, very glad to see this change and can't wait for it to hit holodeck.
The guys in the left list are comissioned. Your Away Team and everyone you assign to Bridge stations.
Uncomissioned is every Boff in the inventory or the "parking lane.
Thank you for adding this feature.
As far as I know, commissioned bridge officers could never be sold on the Exchange, but they could be traded. Is there a reason why this was changed?
Probably because now you could potentially trade a fully trained BOFF as opposed to one with just the original 8 powers.

You people are just...sick. Absolutely disgusting! :eek:

Booooo, you suck, I wanted to go there first!
Goodbye Diplomacy/Marauding boff market.

I'm not really sure how this was a problem.
:mad: why is this something that needs to be removed?

At least they don't serve as food anymore for their trainees.

That only applies to the green training manuals.
