i am interested to know what other players do with their old ships and bridge crew
I have made comments before about ways to use your old ships and bridge crew (without deleting current ones), so was wondering what other players do or if anyone has any thought about what to do with them

Now that's just ageist. Kindly leave the forum... :P
Maybe we should have reason to keep out older ships and unused crew, maybe assign so e doffs to older ships and sending them off to do stuff would be an idea.
As for Boffs. I'm still using the crew I got as a Lieutenant. My first officer is the Andorian Female Tactical officer I got from the tutorial, my Science officer is the Trill Female I got from pretty much my first mission and so on.
I'm attached to these guys, they've been with me from the start, so when I get a new ship, my bridge crew comes with me. Now of course over the years a common Boff won't cut it so I simply save their look in the tailor, buy a Very Rare version of whatever they are and then get rid of the old one, copy their look over to the new one and give them the same name.
I've even "promoted" some of my crew and moved them over to an alt character, for example, a Boff who was only a "lieutenant" on my crew is now a Commander and first officer on my alt char.
But I do tend to keep them, call it nostalgia. Bridge officers, not so much, I try to get prurples, but once I have them, I tend to keep them.

My Boffs are, as two other posters said already, my original crew like I got them. I also never changed their appearance aside from the uniform and maybe haircut, everything else is the way the game assigned them to me and I'm quite attached to them - yes, they are green and white boffs aside from my first officer and second toon (one "character") that's a caitian, she's purple of course (being c-store only).
EDIT: Regarding DOFFs - I really don't care about them. I just recently began to "upgrade" them to green status and I got a few lucky blue and purple ones from random assignments, but the majority is still white since the DOFF trading card game kinda bores me. A lot. XD

or you can select ships to store in ur fleet start base, even hve them patrol the star base area
My first Officer is still a common Boff my medical officer is a uncommon boilian and I have a rare vulcan engineer.
I need to change them but I have got quite attached to them as we have been on a lot of missions together.
on my KDF there almost all purple except for my Orion engineer who is blue

Ya know i actually like the sound of that, if im reading it right lol.
Stick them on a training course, similar to the doff system, where it takes say 45 mins to 24 hours depending what course , and costs you credit for fund the course.
Id buy into tht idea, good thinking.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
Probably because the number or captains doing this means there is to long of wait list to get the court case open lol
The Fleet base patrol would be kinda cool, add a little life to them, while using current active members' ships as a background element.

could keep your old ships around and equip them with gear and set Boffs into slots, then when you want you can permanently remove that ship and those Boffs to assign them to your fleet command. Then they get added to the ships able to be called by a new ability, maybe call it Priority Fleet Support or Admiralty Distress Call idk. but those ships would be any ship you promote in such a way, with those Boffs you slotted and the gear you had equipped on it at the time.
a few rules though to make it not completely OP, no universal consoles, max of one set (Omega, MACO, KHG, Romulan, etc.; means shield/deflector/engine /OR/ 2 weapon and console; not both sets) or you can't promote the ship; high cooldown on the ability, say 10 minutes (i've always thought 15 minutes is too long, most matches or STFs don't last more than 20); could link it to the fleet support ability and make it so you have to wait til you're at 70% health too
now with all that said, as for what i usually do with my officers when i don't need them anymore: i dismiss them without much ceremony
What is we can break the old ships down and use the materials for crafting, ie crafting new engines or sheilds warp core.
Its a solution that gives a use to deomissioned ships and clears up ship slots.
Fleet Support 1 = 1 ship
Fleet Support 2 = 2 ships
Fleet Support 3 = 3 ships
Yet you forget that thr Devs are so busy working on the next thing to charge you money for; that they can't be bothered to fix a grammar error in a mission that has been in game since launch...........
<Just Saying>
just saying.....
Theres no harm in us all debating the topic and game we play , talking new ideas an so on.
Why come in here and make a point that has nothing to do with an idea.
We dont claim the devs will make them.
