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
