What Devices Do you give your BO's?

I am trying to figure out what to give My BO's for equipment. Not the weapons, shield, armor but the 4 devices they get to hold.

I tried diving them Hypos, Power supplies, Food and Shield Regenerater. They go through those like candy. On mission they can go through 5 of them, where I may use one. It gets rather expensive.

I give now them a healing tribble and a damage/regen tribble, that seems to keep them buffed and heal up between battle. and just give them small hypo's, power supplies and regenerators I find. Keeping the mediums for crafting and larges for my use. I also toss the food found on them, they eat it before the tribbles usually.

One has the Fire extinquisher

    None. They use everything I give them, so they simply don't get anything.

    My ground crew has 3 Klingons, so I gave them all Tribbles.

    I give them each a Tribble and the lower end stuff like small hypos, small shield charges, etc.

    Half of them get tribbles, and the other half get food. My Borg BO really loves Ferengi Snail Steak and Feline Supplment #47. (Man, I hope she's not reading this :eek:)

    I use all my non-ground BOffs to hold food so it doesn't interfer with tribble breeding. My ground BOffs are used to store the tribbles I'm not currently breeding. I don't give them any other devices because they burn through them before the first objective is complete.

    Hypos, shields. Anything to keep them upright so I don't have to do CPR on them if they run into an obstacle they can't take care of themselves.

    I wish I could give them a book titled "The complete imbecile's guide on how to go around a wall in order to follow your captain"

    It really sucks having to run back to baby-step-guide your Boffs around a wall or a box

    I give them all Mattsons as well... Strangely they don't always use them...

    Food they will eat even when they are full (health), but pet a tribble? I guess they must be part Klingon...

    Tribbles for mine as well.

    Thankfully we don't have a limit on the number of turrets we can use. My engineer BO drops tha damn things like he's leaving a bread crumb trail.

    How else do you think your other BOffs eventually catch up?

    Using the rally point to get them out of stuff like that usually works for me.

    1 Tribble and whatever Small or Medium Hypos/Shield batteries/Power Cells are cluttering my inventory.

    Ever since I found that you could just buy large Hypos and Shield batteries I dont bother equipping anything else on my Captain.

    I give them food and they eat it immediately. As in: it disappears seconds after I hand it over. I can only envision them slurping down piles of tube grubs and gulping down hot chocolate like some kind of depression-era starved children.

    ...maybe I should divert power back to the food replicators.

    I give them 4 different breeds of tribble each doing different things. I dont give them food, they just eat it, I use the food to breed more tribbles! :D

    Just put a tribble in the bank and some food and over time the food will turn into more tribbles, on occassion youll get a tribble with attack/regen/some other buff other than the standard healing.
