Well, it looks like we'll be able to convert a BO into a playable captain. While I would prefer a
split mission captain/xo version, it appears this is what we'll be getting:
Converting an officer to a captain removes the officer from your crew and gives him his own character slot. This is a one way transaction.
Some questions:
If we remove a BO that has a special role, e.g. chief engineer or first officer, will we be able to appoint another BO in that role?
I understand how this is important for special BO, such as the Breen, but what are the plans for races that already playable? For example, I converted my Andorian "XO" into a captain by saving the costume, and loading it when I created a new Andorian captain.
How many BOs will we be able to do this to? Could we promote all 10 (if you're a VA/BG) and get a whole new crew, and 10 alts?

Most definetely not gonna work with the Breen or Borg BO's, despite how cool it would be. I can dig it, though.
I can understand not allowing Borg BOs... but what's wrong with having a Breen playable captain?
Sounds more like a request for the costume department... I would certainly support it.
Precicely, I could't agree more.
