Are Borg BO's Always Engineers?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
As the title states, every Liberated Borg BO I've taken is always an engineer, is this intended or am I just unlucky? I've been trying to get a Borg Science BO but keep getting Engineers. It doesn't state the professions when you take it.

So, is this intended or not? Because if it is, it sucks :(

    No doubt. I hope that will change in the future. :D

    If you do KA you can get a borg science officer though. ;)

    if its the ones from pre order then they are always human or klingon females engineers.

    id love to be able to have a male, tactile, andorian Borg bridge officer of what ever takes my fancy at the time.

    No doubt. The trouble is that no one wants to do it because of the current operational situation which is really very sad. I'm on every day at least a couple hours and I have wasted at least 30 hours trying to get people together to do KA and on the couple times I have been able to get a group going everyone always quits in frustration.

    Thanks for the info guy, I'll have to get around to finally doing KA, I don't get to play much, and when I was trying to do Infected or The Cure, the amount of idiots I ended up grouping with was rediculous.

    Shoot the Workers! No, that's an Elite, Worker Drones, you see the ones called Workers? Those ones! And now I'm dead as you decided to run from number 4 where you were told to stay all the way to 1 to "help". :(

    I wonder if the solo ones will have the same rewards though. They should as far as that BO goes. Drops and mission completes can be better for the team version though.

    To be frank I'm shocked they have not toned it down a lot in a hot patch - its been how long since the last "tweak"? Sometimes I seriously wonder how stuff gets by QA. :mad:

    Is the Sci-Borg male or female?

    The Borg BO in KA is a Male Sci Officer. There's three problems with getting it though, one is that finding a group and getting past the first Space part is very difficult for most groups unelss you get lucky and have a group of fully specced escorts who know what their doing and how to do the first space part.

    Second to get the accolade for the Borg BO is very deep inside the borg caves, and while you don't have to complete the STF to get it its far enough in you might as well so having agroup stick together that long is tough to find.

    And lastly, the Borg BO looks like an actual Male Borg in the game however unlike the female one on the C-store you can not customize it (hopefully that will change) like the Photonic/Hologram BO so its not as "cool" as the one the C-store but still worth trying to get if you can manage the annoyance that is the "Borg Build Up" in the first part of KA.

    (And I am not saying KA is impossible but it does need to be changed unless there is some easier less stress free way to get past the first part that I and most people are unaware of)
