    Well, he seems to have an active kit and potentially an active armor on as well. So that might be potentially why you can't customize. Although I do have to wonder if you go to the Tailor to change his outfit or find a holographic engineer to enter the new parameters.

    Also, I've been on my bridge several times now since I got him and I have yet to see him on my bridge. Anyone else not seeing him on the bridge?

    That's too bad, I was hoping for making him something like this:

    Hypospray dual wield and photonic cannons, anyone?

    Thanks for the info Cursix, can you tell me what Photonic Officer III does/how it works? I've read nothing but complaints about how useless is PO. I haven't yet had the opportunity to use it. I wonder if PO3 is any good?

    However, thanks for posting, what little intrest I had in the referral program is now gone with the revelation that this BO is inferior to whats available. Same as that stupid KA Borg BO but hopefully the Galaxy-X will turn out to be an equal disappointment.

    At least this BO was given traits that are relevant to his assigned class.

    I don't have a science vessel to test that ability out, but I believe it decreases the cool down on abilities by 25% over its duration. In essence, the opposite of SNB.

    Just checked, it gives a +39% bonus to cool down speed. So essentially I believe you get a "1 second" recharge every 0.61 seconds for a duration of a minute.

    Sounds like the Tactical Initiative my Tac Captain has. Cool, thanks.

    Hey Cursix what's the cooldown on it? I have never used PO so I have no clue on its worth.

    Looks like 3 minutes. Not sure if the PO effect itself reduces that at all.

    I Finally got a Holo-Bridge Officer:

    Cool... named him "Emergency Medical Hologram"

    "WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THE MEDICAL EMERGENCY?"

    I hope they eventually make him customiseable like what they did for the Borg BO. I wan't to make mine into a prototype Vic Fontaine Emergency Counselling Hologram like what gets a passing mention in the 'needs of the many' novel.

    Is the KA Borg customisable now? I think it really sucks and can't think of a single legitimate reason why this one isn't.

    Male BOff? Damn, was hoping for another female char.

    Strongly agreed they should offer a female variant and a lot of customization options for Photonic/Holographic Bridge Officers.

    They really need to be customizable.

    I don't even use mine on away missions anymore because he looks too different from my full First contact dressed crew. >.<

    What makes parody humor funny is that it has to have a germ of fact in it.

    And your scenario is... disturbingly likely considering the illogical behavior of the marketing department.

    After you have your friend upgrade, how long does it take to get the holographic officer?

    After they buy the game and enter their code (become "Upgraded"), you have to wait 1 month. Once they pay for their first month's subscription you get the rest of your Referral prizes, including the HoloBO. For more details check out: http://www.startrekonline.com/referral.

    Since I have a photonic officer, I'll answer these.
    • Science Officer
    • It is male only
    • No, you cannot customize it other than it's name. Tailer's just don't know how to customize that mobile emiter.
    • Yes, most noticable trait is the Photonic Lifeform. It gains natural resistance to physical and kinetic damage but is very weak to tetryon damage. It also cannot substain injuries; so if your playing on advance or elite, send this officer out to the slaughter. Oh, and when it is KOed, it turns into a holoemiter on the ground that you need to 'boot up'

    Also worth note, it comes with Photonic Officer III BO space skill.

    What does the space ability do?

    Are there any details available on the Holographic Bridge Officer from the friend referral program? Is it an engineer, science, or tactical officer? Does it have any specific or unique traits and/or skills? Is it a specific race or gender? Can the look be customized at all? Any screenshots available?

    It is science officer , it looks like a regular officer, ya cant change its uniform, the space abilities are much, but the ground abilities do great at healing hope this helps

    If you mean Photonic Officer, in the simplest terms it speeds-up the recharge of other BO abilities. The in-game effect is that your BO splits himself into multiple BOs and helps the others complete their tasks quicker.
