I know nobody cares about this ability
But - a Bug is a Bug
Testing Mission - Doomsday Device - Bird of Prey's in the shipyard (they are not moving, they are not using weapons )
When slotting the Trait the amount of Boarding Parties reduces from 3 Boarding Shuttles to 2 Boarding Party away teams
There is more:
Duty Officer Modifications
Flight Deck Officer 33% Chance to double the number of shuttles launched with Boarding Parties
--> Tooltip is not completly correct: --> 33% Chance for up to 3 additional shuttles
33% Chance for 1 additional Boarding Shuttle after the First (regular) shuttles launched
33% Chance for 1 additional Boarding Shuttle after the second (regular) shuttles launched
33% Chance for 1 additional Boarding Shuttle after the third (regular) shuttles launched
>> Shuttles are only "Level 3" ... or ... "Level -57" <<<
when the Starship Trait "Photonic Boarding Party" is active
and the Duty Officer effect does activate ---> they are still spawning "SHUTTLES" !!!
Flight Deck Officer
Reduce the time to for all hangar bays (-4 sec) and Boarding Party (-8 sec) abilities after use >> does not reduce the Cooldown time for Boarding Party Ability >> without the Starship Trait !!! because the Trait itself reduces Cooldown
Assault Squad Officer - Uras'Kalan(Dominion_Lock_Box)
40% Chance: Boarding Party Shuttles to come equipped with a Point Defense Turret
>>> of course >> this function is disabled >> when Star Ship Trait is slotted <<<
--> Tooltip is not completly correct: what happens is:
40% Chance for the first Boarding Shuttle
40% Chance for the second Boarding Shuttle
40% Chance for the third Boarding Shuttle
>> (40% Chance for the fourth Boarding Shuttle)
>> (40% Chance for the fifth Boarding Shuttle)
>> (40% Chance for the sixth Boarding Shuttle)
to get all 6 shuttles ( without Starship Trait ) is very rare
to get 6 armed boarding Shuttles is very very very rare
[Information for courious players]
the Phaser Turrent are very weak, and the shuttles
