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.
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.

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.
