Is there any benefit to blue/green BO's other than the skills they have? I've grown attached to the original four 'whites' I bough as I've customized their look and outfits heavily.. do the blue/green BO's have better traits, or just better skills?
I'm hoping the skill is the only bonus they have, and i'm not shooting myself in the foot by 'training' my common BO's with those skills, which of course dismisses the rare/uncommon BO
eg, I aquired a blue engineering BO, and it had Boarding Party 3. That skill is not purchasable from the trainer.
You also have to look at the ground abilities. Do you really want to have your medic be great at laying mines? Racial stats play into this, remember they are unique to the toon. I also hear there are some rare space traits floating around.
You can keep your white bos if you want if you see a bo that has a skill you want to give them outside of a trait you can. Not to mention not all the green and blue bos have anything special Ive seen a good amount that have nothing special to offer. That part may be a bug I know there was a problem some times that when you got a bo their powers swapped. Either way use what you want in the end youll never just get the perfect bo your going to need to build them.

So, yes, there is meaning to the rareity.
