I saw some new duty officers on the exchange and was wondering if there is a list of them available. I did not see anything on wiki

    They're listed in the Lockbox blog: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11507273-the-discovery:-emerald-chain-lock-box!
    Courier Duty Officers
    A cadre of eclectic duty officers is available to openminded Captains, providing unique capabilities when placed on Space Active Duty.

    Shields Expert - Chance when using a Shield Heal to gain an additional temporary Shield Health pool.
    Talented Smuggler – Chance when using a Battery, Deploy Turret, or Distress Call device to trigger Evasive Manuevers III. This effect has an internal recharge separate from the recharge time of Evasive Manuevers itself.
    Weapons Expert – Chance when activating a rank I or II beam or cannon firing mode to activate the rank II or III version of it instead.

    I also did some limited testing with the Weapons Expert doff, it only works with CSV, CRF, BO, and BFAW (so no Surgical Strikes or Exceed Rated Limits), and it does not proc for the free CSV 1 or BFAW 1 from Entwined Tactical Matrices.

    Thanks, but I was looking for a list with names and professions to see where they are on the exchange.

    I can't seem to find the Shields Expert for some reason, but the other two are setup so that searching for "Talented Smuggler" or "Weapons Expert" will pull them up on the exchange Their names are:

    Talented Smuggler – Shrilli Sh'rolran, Talented Smuggler (Maintenance Engineer)
    Weapons Expert – Vincent Kish, Weapons Expert (Space Warfare Specialist)

    Yay! because there is nothing that adds to piloting a ship quite like an unpredictable and utterly random speed boost.

    I also did some poking on the Weapons Expert too: It only seems to make rank I to rank II maximum (so it should say II or III respectively), 25% proc chance, and unfortunately you can only have one active. It doesn't seem to work on Superior Area Denial's CSV I and FAW I given to fighters, either. I've only done poking in Ds9 orbit for maybe 20 iterations of each config, though, so if someone else finds something different, it'd be good to hear.

    Shields Expert and Talented Smuggler have 15% chance IIRC, but I haven't tried slotting them to see if they stack.

    Thanks, evilmark444, for doing some testing & conveying the information.

    tom61sto, thanks to you too.

    For those wondering the stats for the Shields Expert, here's what I got, with Mariner as well to make a comparison and give a relative idea depending on your stats:
    2022-02-03%2013_07_14-Window.png?raw=1
    2022-02-03%2013_07_47-Window.png?raw=1
    That seems ridiculously low.

    You might have to beam up and look in space at the stats they might be different then. I haven't checked myself cause ... who needs shields =P
    C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

    I WAS in space, because on the ground, it said Zhano gave a whopping 7 Temporary HP.

    is this the first time they have put DOs and traits in a LB?

    No, definitely not. Though, I think the last time that had more than one was the 'of 47' DOffs with the Borg LB, at least when it came to unique DOffs. It might be the first time that a DOff box in one gave three at the same time, though. Traits have been standard with lockboxes for a long while now, and even predate the system that let you change Traits at will. However, it's been months since the last full box instead of Infinity, so not hard to forget what came with a full box release.

    based on what y'all said it probably won't proc on weapon mods like overload, spread and rapid
