Some Boffs are like that. The special reward ones usually are. Jem'Hadar, Breen, Reman, etc...
We are talking about the counterparts to the Federation's diplomacy reward boffs. Just like them the Klingon marauding reward boffs are supposed to be editable. But since January this doesn't work anymore, and that we didn't hear ANYTHING from the devs since over 6 months(!!!) ago on this issue is ridiculous :mad:

So fed diplomacy bo's are fixed and can wear fed clothers?

Add me to the growing list of people with this problem. For the record:
Your Captain's faction - KDF
Your Captain's species - Orion
Species of bridge officer that you are having problems with - Trill female
Description of issue - Nothing about her appearance is editable, everything (including sliders and colours) switches back to default.
I didn't know there was a problem until I picked up the officer and found this incredibly disappointing. I've been focussing on Marauder XP and anticipating the officer for ages as I watched the progress move on. Worse still, it seems as if the issue has been ignored for months, which doesn't give me much hope of a speedy resolution. Please fix this or at least give us an update on where the team is in addressing it.

I'm having this issue on both my kdf toons with marauding 4:
___
Your Captain's faction: KDF
Your Captain's species: Klingon
Species of bridge officer that you are having problems with: Human female science officer
Description of issue: Cannot edit appearance at the tailor, as soon as I change something it reverts to the default setting.
___
Your Captain's faction: KDF
Your Captain's species: Alien
Species of bridge officer that you are having problems with: Ferengi male tactical officer
Description of issue: Cannot edit appearance at the tailor, as soon as I change something it reverts to the default setting.
___
I too have reported this by way of an in-game ticket. I am adding to this thread in the hope that the more of us who report the issue, the more likely it will be addressed.
I note that my Federation character is able to modify the uniform on his Orion bridge officer, however she can only choose KDF uniforms (I assume this is intentional).

I just had another go, I was at the tailor anyway. This time was after changing my captain. Changing the Trill's stance caused her to suddenly take on many of my captain's features, hair and eye colour, eyebrows, clothing colours and her top switched to robe basic. Everything was still uneditable and it wouldn't let me purchase it as it told me unowned costume packs were being used (they weren't). I don't know if that's helpful, but I found it interesting.
Any chance of a comment from Devs on this issue at all?

Considering this but has been here since JANUARY, I'd guess "No" on the dev comment. Sheesh. Here I thought it was a frickin' recent bug. Nope! Been here since F2P went live!
Same problem here as well. I was looking forward to customising my federation boff from hitting Marauder Rank 4.
Your Captain's faction: KDF
Your Captain's species: Orion
Species of bridge officer that you are having problems with: Andorian Female Tactical
Description of issue: As everyone else here, I'm unable to alter/edit her appearance in any possible way. Nothing saves, for example if you adjust the sliders for say her hands, it always reverts back to a fixed value.
I spent a lot of time working on getting this boff, this issue has left me pretty disappointed when I found out I couldn't alter anything.
The fact that it hasn't even been fixed for many months is just getting silly right now. If you're unable to fix it, say so. How an issue like this continues to be left as it is in an MMO is unbelievable. Please fix it.
Yeah, after 9 months you should think that at least they would say "we're still working on it" here, showing that the issue hasn't been forgotten. But instead we get nothing at all, only silence. :mad:
And then they are wondering why everyone says that KDF gets no love from Cryptic?

Please... the TNG and DS9 combadges have been broken for almost two years, and there's other bugs that are almost 3 years old. This is nothing new. :rolleyes:
Just a heads-up [or a reminder if this has been said and forgotten], since Marauding boffs seem to only be hooked up with off-duty outfits, boffs in general being restricted from using off-duty outfits regardless of faction seems to be the root of the issue. A quick fix until Cryptic deals with this properly is to open your chatbox and type /costumecreator.setslottype 007 [or any set of numbers you so choose]. This will unlock the "Tr:Unrestricted" outfit category, allowing you to legitimately use Fed off-duty outfits on your Marauding boffs. They're still restricted to Fed off-duty outfits, though; no Fed uniform-class outfits.

It seems many players have ticketed this issue, and people have been posting in this thread about it for almost a year!
I recently submitted a GM ticket and was told it was a previously unknown issue... I was also told it was not an issue for a GM and I should submit a bug report (which of course I had already done).
I now have 3 kdf toons with marauding 4 and I can't edit any of the special marauding boff uniforms.
I know many other players who have the same issue in my fleet alone. In fact, I don't know of anyone who doesn't have it!
This is clearly a faction-wide problem for kdf players - I can't understand why it isn't considered important enough to be addressed.
Though I know it has been asked before, I again request that the devs please respond to this thread and give us an update on what is being done to fix this bug, and when we can expect to see it patched.
This really seems to become a lost cause... by now almost an ENTIRE YEAR has passed, and as we don't even get an "We are still working on it" at least it seems the devs are totally ignoring this issue... and then they are honestly wondering themselves that the players say "KDF gets no love"?
I filed a ticket asking if this workaround could be used until they fixed this issue, and was told not to do so.
Just out of curiosity, can you actually update the BOFF's appearance this way? I've played around with this command, but never tried to apply the changes to the costume for fear of breaking something.
I filed a ticket asking if this workaround could be used until they fixed this issue, and was told not to do so.
Just use it anyways. It's a workaround to tailor limitations with boffs in general, plus it gives you quite a few interesting options for your regular characters. (hmm, DS9 uniform top with robe bottom? )
And in response to bberge1701, it does work. Not sure about the marauding boffs though, I don't have one yet, but... I made a replica of my Vorta character with ease fed-side.
Just note that you can only use costume items that the species can normally use, and only if you unlocked them already. So no cheating and wearing MACO armor without accolades and no wearing off-duty outfits! (though the Vedek Hood mysteriously lets itself be worn on KDF. )
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
At least the defaults on my human female science Boff looks decent enough for a BOff that I got just for the space passive ability and will never leave my bridge.
yeppers, my kdf character has a human female fed bridge officer, and I can't change their clothes either.
Yet my federation character who's made diplomacy level 4, has an orion kdf and i can change those clothes no problem, same with a gorn for another fed character i have.
Just can't seem to do it when your a kdf officer maurader level 4, with the fed bridge officer...... I don't see them fixing this any time soon.
Just a "We are still trying to locate the issue" or even a "We will look at it closer asap, please keep the infos coming", is this too much to ask for after almost a year?
Though 'necroing' is naughty, i think this thread STILL needs to be around >.<
Eagerly awaiting changing my maurading boffs
I tried out that code (/costumecreator.setslottype TRIBBLE) on my Marauding Boff and it does allow you to change the appearance of your Boff but you're still limited to off-duty clothing options that you must have already purchased.
In my case, I had the 'Mercenary' off-duty pack Fed-side and was able to dress my KDF Marauder Boffs in it (as well as adjusting their hairstyles etc.) - an improvement but still not a solution.
You can of course also use the armor visuals for the MACO/Omega/KHG mk XI/XII armor too - my Orion Fed-side uses the Mk XI Omega

Were they ever intended to do that? The KDF toons can't be edited at all...

pretty much the same issue as everyone, if i knew this was an issue before, i wouldn't even have bothered with the marauding "reward".
also, i have the diplomacy reward boff on my main fed, and i can change its clothes/appearance perfectly.
