Are you not supposed to spend points on BOs unless you plan to keep them?

Because if so, that stinks.

Basically I'm wondering if you can get the points back somehow so you can switch to a new BO (with a new skill set) without having to waste the points you invested on the old BOs.

Anyone know how this system works? Are BO points capped too?

And I don't want to just train up and old BO. I'd like to get a new alien race or something by switching to a new one.

    No you can't.

    BO points are not capped, you will always get more of them to train more BO, improve/change existing BO.

    And it is a good idea to keep several BO's with different skill sets traine dup that you hot swap to your consoles to suit differnt ships/situations.

    Thanks!

    But another question: Can't you only store like a total of 4 BOs on the ship? Or am I looking at the ship loadout thingy wrong?

    Take a quick gander over in the Academy area of the forums for a posting by Suricata. He made a list of the ships (in sideview outline) and included all of the basic information about each major class grouping.

    On some of the high-end ships you have up to 5 BO's "equipped".

    Here's a link to the forum sticky because he adds a LOT of info other than the big graphic file.

    You get more slots for backup BOs as well, as your rank goes up. I've got like 4 empty slots at Cmdr, and an extra engineer. I take 2 engies, science, and tactical on away missions now, the deployable spam is fun, and seems to work better than 2 tactical officers.

    You only really NEED to actually equip the 4 you plan to bring on away missions, both equipment and ground abilities.
