Exploitable Bug: Bridge Officer Promotions

Just alt tabbed out so going to write this quickly, it's been bugged ingame also. But, upon reaching Lt. Cmdr you can promote your bridge crew all the way to Commander rank by having enough available merit and clicking the button multiple times before it updates the promotion to Lt.

I now have 2 commander rank bridge officers. Their space abilities are limited by the ship so that's not a huge deal, but they can use all their commander rank ground abilities.

    bad bad...

    Dont report exploits in the forums use the GREEN BUG.

    it don't matter though none of the chars will go through to retail

    but in the future just use the green bug.

    They get your report even you don't get a reply.

    Well, yes, I agree. It's been reported in game also. Might as well tell everyone though since it's beta and the more people abuse stuff like this the faster it gets fixed. :D

    Its good that he reports it here so that more people will test it and verify the exploit. The more people who know about it the more urgent the fix to such problem is needed. SO Thank you for posting this here.

    Scripp is just mad that if its fixed he won't be able to use it at launch.

    I was going to come post this too. I get quite a bit of lag in game in terms of UI updates and with the BO rank not updating I carried on clicking the promote button till I eventually got an update.

    Went away happy but then after spending some time re-equiping my ship I noticed that my security officer had loads of space abiilities (albeit limited by the console on my escort). When I checked her rank it was miles higher than it should have been. Technicaly, I was no longer the superior officer on my own ship.

    So.. to put a long story short - I have found this bug too and would hope its fixed by launch as I often redo actions in the game at the moment due to the fact the UI either takes ages to update or sometimes is unresponsive.

    Without wanting to cause too much alarm. I also duped a item in the same way. I had a mark II item that I wanted to swap in a mark I. Due to the lag on the UI updates I kept having to drag in multiple times. In the end I managed to turn my Mark II into a Mark I. Obviousl not the best thing in the work but if this got in hands of an exploiter they could turn a mark I into.... whatever they wanted.

    Double checked to make sure it wasnt just a UI issue too.
