Right.
So I'm having a bit of a derpy moment. I'm not really one of those people that knows everything about mmos I play and I typically trawl boards for advice on how to build my characters before deciding what'll fit me best.
That being said; I just noticed something that's TRIBBLE with my head and I'm wondering if I'm missing something or if it's a game derp.
I want to train my tac Boffs with Torp HY III, but am unable to do so. The ability on the STO wiki says that you need to train 9 ranks of Starship Projectile Weapons ... but the tooltip in game says you only need 6 ranks, which I have. And yet the ability doesn't show up in the list of abilities I can train my Boffs.
Similarly, I have 9 ranks trained in Starship Energy Weapons, and can't train Boffs in BA: FAW III or Cannon: Rapid Fire III when the tooltip for that also says 6 ranks.
THAT said, the tooltip for Starship Attack Patterns also says 6 ranks for AP Omega III, which is the only Commander level ability I seem to be able to train my Tac Boffs, and to be honest that's annoying me to the max since my Comm Tac Boff already has it

Anyway, where are you trying to train your boffs? Powers you can train from skills aren't in the normal training UI at spacedock. Instead, go to their equipment page, click Career Options, then click Train.
You can also find a suitable captain in game and have them train your crew in the relevant skill you require.
You can use either use them to train your existing BoFF's or replace your BoFF's ... It's more expensive but you can do it.
Yes, unless the Boff is unique in some way (AKA un-tradable), you can find some other player to train your Boffs w/ those skills. But note, you have to TRADE your Boff to someone to train them.
Make sure you're somewhat certain that the player won't just keep your guy and run off! Personally, I've not had any issue with that, but it is a possibility to be aware of. If you are in a fleet, I'd ask fleeties first.
