Since you can only have one Elachi BOFF, why is it the replay prize?

On the new episode "Beneath The Skin", the first-time prize is an Elachi Boff...but it is on the replay also. Usually, there's more than one worth-playing-reward; like pieces of a space set, a new melee weapon, but this episode offers the Boff, which you can only have one of and a regular old personal shield. Now, I don't that replaying gets you closer to this Elachi ship, but what happens if you're not bothered about the ship? Maybe it's just me, but I do like getting something new each time...even if it's Ketracel White, salvage would be nice (because the shield isn't salvageable and the Boff doesn't create any great manuals), but I really don't see the point in the reward being something that I can't even have again.

    wild guess, so if you get rid or lose it you can get a replacement. actually it's nice of them to do that even if I'm not going to use it.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    Has that ever been a thing though? The Kobali Boff that you could only get if you tracked her down in the maze, the event Boffs...there were only two and I can't remember if it was the Jem'hadar, Breen or Reman, but they were one-offs.

    With Boffs, I know they can sometimes have unique Traits, but they're really all about how you train them and kit them out...they're not exactly special.

    I suppose I can understand and by all means keep it for the reason you mentioned...but a choice of just that and a unsalvageable plain old shield? I just think they could give something more interesting, that could level from I to XIII like a weapon or special Elachi Shield even.

    The Jem'Hadar BOFF from The 2800 awards multiple times, so it's not unheard of.

    If it only rewarded once, people would be complaining about not being able to get another after "accidentally" dismissing it.

    Convert the duplicates into skill training manuals. It's a Engi/Temporal Spec Boff and can be used to make manuals for Recursive Shearing II, Recursive Affliction II, Gravimetric Conversion II, Temporal Narcosis II, Entropic Contagion I, Entropic Cascade I, & Heisenberg Amplifier I. The more times you get the Boff the more manuals you can make.

    That's what I thought too. Get more of it to make Temporal manuals.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
