Ambassador's BOFF question.

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
If a person purchases the wrong BOFF or is unhappy w/ the BOFF they get from reaching ambassador, is there any way at all to exchange it? I just made a purchase for a sci Orion female that I could have sworn had seduce in her skill list but when I commissioned her it turned out not to. Now I'm stuck w/ a BOFF that I don't need because the only reason I chose her was for the seduce skill that I thought she had.

    It's a passive ability, check again - it had to be there.
    Those BOs are pure joke, they are common ones.
    But it is not an issue if you use such BO in space (until you got many eficient ones and need consoles for them)... on ground, common BO only could be healer - if you could find someone to train it and give it good armor and shield.
    I have one Orion, on my Sci captain - so I train her for healer, she have same survivality as my blue SCI BO and same healing output.

    One must consider the attributes of any new crew member, or so I'm told. ;)

    Attributes are best considered when they are wearing a bikini, yes? :D:p

    To be perfectly honest and I know this sounds silly, but I like to have an even male to female ration on my crew and I was running a lil heavy on the male so my next BOFF had to be a fem :rolleyes:.

    I could have sworn the skill was there while she was at the store but once I commissioned her I can't find it and yes I did check in the passive tab.

    If you've already commissioned the officer, your only options are to player-trade or discharge. A good habit is to double-check the traits listed on your candidate before commissioning. Sometimes the Exchange lies (actually, you end up purchasing the officer below the one you intended because someone else already purchased the one you had highlighted - you won't get the normal exchange error if the item is the same description at the same price).

    The problem is the two traits that Orion females have are named poorly. There is seductive which they all have, a passive threat reduction and seduction, a triggered confusion effect. All the female choices have the passive, only the tactical has the triggered.

    I think it would be a good idea for Cryptic to come up with a diplomatic point system. You earn points for doing diplomatic missions when you are at maximum diplomacy level and then can spend them on further officers. This would allow you to replace your choice if you either chose poorly or there was an error. It would also give a reason for Ambassadors to do diplomatic missions (which is strangely lacking right now.)

    It would be nice if we could exchange them or get more through the same character. What I did was copy my character on the Tribble Test Server in order to try all the BOffs before I chose one.

    it would also be nice to be able to put a fed uniform on them.
