Maybe it's just me, but I think it would add to immersion if a player could elect (as in the case of ground missions) to bring BOs into social areas, much like vanity pets in other games (Earth Space dock, Vulcan, etc). I realize this would add to congestion. So, perhaps one BO per Captain in said social areas?
It seems like it would be an easy thing to implement, and it would give players a chance to 'show off' some of their crew - not to mention add fuel for the RP crowd.
I realize that, this close to launch, this is nothing more than a wish list item. However, if you think this is a good idea, please /sign.
That would be cool later on after release but right now it would be a nightmare and of course you'd want it to be optional. Just think every player with a BO on the star base would cause some pretty nasty lag especially right now.
I agree, it'd be nice to bring at least 1 of our officers to the social areas.
Heck, they could even make it client side if they wanted, so at least you could see your officers there even if no one else does. That way it wouldn't require any bandwidth. Or make an option to see others' pets or not.

There's lots of ways to do it.
Yeah that's actually a nice idea to just do it client side so at least you could see it. That would help out and probably not cause any additional server lag but I don't know if people would want it, I mean I'd love to show off my borg BO when she gets real good but I still like this idea. A very good alternative to add more feel to the game but I don't see it happening anytime to soon as many other issues need fixed first but I do like the idea.
Nor do I. However, if enough people comment on it, who knows? We may see it in the future.
Yeah it would be really good but like you say, maybe if enough people want it they will listen and add it. I don't plan on seeing my BO anytime soon but maybe it will give me something to look forward to in the future.

This isn't a bad idea but the congestion would be awful at times
I wouldn't mind this idea providing we could choose when and where we could bring them (primarily some open planet social areas) To extend this a bit would be nice if we could select our bridge officer and have more control over them.. such as making them sit somewhere.
I would like to have the occasional BO related quest arise based on some personal issue the he/she may be experiencing.
Something to do with them personally, or a relative or friend who is sick or in some kind of trouble and requires help or anything.... theres tonnes of options here.
I think this would add tonnes of emersion, I mean if they can't go to their captians for help... who can they got to?
There could be rewards where your BO's could pick up a totally new or higher lvl skill than one they already have... once again the options here are huge.
I would really like this over the "special" BO's you can get as you progress, I spend ages personalising my BO's and I get attached to them as I play and don't really feel happy about swaping out long serving and loyal men or women for someone I don't know.
Lastly I think another kewl way of obtaining new BO's would be by your current BO's brings one of their subordanates to your attention for excellent service and recomends them for promotion to BO status.
