    I haven't been able to find it either. But I did see I can now edit my photonic doctor guy.

    I can't find it. I have all 3 varieties I was hoping to test this out.

    I've been searching for this option as well. I'm at a loss.

    i think its a typo, I think they mean they added the FX to the hologram because it was missing.

    LoL. I was going to create a thread about this. Guess I'm not the only one confused by it.

    Added a Holographic FX option for Photonic Bridge Officers.

    I assumed this also pertained to the photonic boffs we got from the delta recruit event (which are the only photonic boffs I have). I completed the breen arc yesterday on my KDF delta recruit and got my photonic boff. I wasn't able to find any kind of special FX option and the boff looks like a normal boff with no special effects of any kind. I haven't checked my fed's photonic boffs but I imagine it's the same situation. I had checked the character status window and the tailor to no avail. (Note: Romulan Republic characters get their allied faction's photonic boff as there is no Romulan version of it :()

    It wasn't, though. I've been using my Holo-BOff engie since I got it a few weeks ago, and he definitely has the hologram FX and mobile emitter accessory.

    I also noticed that I can't add the mobile emitter onto my photonic boffs.

    It's automatically added.

    Good to know. I was thinking it'd be something to add into the tailor.

    Where? I'm not seeing a mobile emitter or any special effects on my photonic boffs (neither fed nor kdf versions) either at the tailor or in the character status window. Does it automatically show up only in ground maps when we take the boff with us in an away team?

    It only shows up on a ground map, yes. Technically, the mobile emitter is part of the FX of the holo-BOff.
    So it'll only show up when you are on a ground map of any sort wit the BOff.
