How do I control which BOs are on my bridge?

I currently have a LtC Borg engineering BO, a Lt human female engineering BO, and an ENS human male engineering BO (along with others). The Borg and the female are on my consoles.

But, the male and the human female are the ones on my bridge.

Is there a way to get the Borg on the bridge?

I don't understand, really, how it is selecting the officers for the bridge. There are some generic personnel on it while some of my actual BOs (the Borg most noticeably) are left off.

    if you open your character/ship sheet, there is a tab called "assignements" i think (not ingame atm), there you see which BOs are on the ship at the station, which are used as standard away-team. this is where you can exchange them, if you like (of course only tactical for another tactical officer on the ship; for the away team, you can choose any combination of classes).

    Yes, it would be hard to make Commander without knowing this. :)

    I meant when you visit the bridge instance, is there a way to control which BOs appear there?

    I know how to make my better BOs go on away missions and operate the consoles. I just don't understand why this human male ensign is showing up in the bridge instance when he isn't part of my away teams and isn't at a console.

    I was wondering the same, when I found random aliens and clothed females on my bridge, but none of my Ferengi was around.

    Well, the game should populate the bridge by first placing all the bridge officers you do have assigned to ship stations at their proper places.

    This was borked at one point, but I think it works now.

    Any other 'unused' bridge officers you have will be placed in remaining spots.

    Thing is...especially on the larger bridges...there'll still be spaces open even once all your BOs are placed. These get filled by randomly generated generic NPCs.

    That's really all there is to it. If you're looking for more precise control over BO placement on your bridge, it doesn't exist. The bridges we have are just a placeholder feature.

    I have the Triumph or whatever bridge, the one that looks like the TNG bridge. I have 2 eng bridge officers and they are always at the consoles near the screen. Never anywhere else, but my tac and sci are always in different spots.

    I've played with this a bunch and I can't get this random unassigned BO to leave the bridge and my Borg won't show up on it.

    Oh well.

    I'll wait until they implement more about the ships to push on this again.

    It may have more to do with their rank then anything else. I ranked up all my "commissioned" BO's to max and they all show up.
