Wanted to ask this one a long time: What's the difference between uncommon (green), rare (blue) and very rare (purple) bridge officers?

    Their stats.
    Like common has like "Basic Luck" while a very rare would have "Superior Luck".
    (just an example...)

    And the more rare ones have rare abilites like Viral Matrix III.

    Hello...

    have a look at the traits, there are some differences... very rare have 2 "superior" traits, rare only 1 superior trait, for example. There are also some abilities you can only get from very rare Boffs, "Reverse Shield Polarity III", for example. I don't know any other way to get it.

    Also, uncommon have 1 'Basic' (as in weaker then normal) Trait while common will have 2 'Basic' Traits...

    ALL of the BO's i have got are useless. the ones you can buy for 100 merit are much better...

    unless of course my awesome bad luck has followed me from other games, im overflowing in rare BO's and have a few v.rares and they all stink...

    Ah, the traits. Have always been looking at the skills and found nothing that couldn't be trained.

    Thanks everybody for the explanation.

    I have found that "TRAITS" are more important than SKILLS.

    When starting out (and I am grooming this discussiuon for people starting without money),

    (1) do NOT spend any BO points yet.

    (2) go out into the patrol and do some huning.. you want to land maybe 1000-2000 in market E-credits. When you have this much gear (a shield or two, or an engine or two, or ??? ) go back and sell them.

    (3) Now go to the exchange and buy some BLUE (Rare) bridge officers. I have found them for as chiep as 1 E-c, and I find good ones for less than 500 each every day... Purple is overrated. dump your existing, and set up your 4-man "Blue Crew", and now your set.

    I[ U]always[/U] do this, and it's a blast.
