Bridge officer quality reduced when commissioned

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I was asked to create a thread here as well as file a bug report in a gm response to a ticket I filed.

Earlier today, I purchased a 'very rare' quality Saurian science bridge officer candidate, I specifcially made sure to filter only the very rare quality and the candidate was definetly of purple quality at the time of purchase. Once I commissioned him to my crew, his quality had dropped to 'rare' giving him only a single superior trait.

Has this happened previously to anyone else?

    This is an old and known issue. Which is why you are not geting quick answers:

    - Saurians with the "efficient" space trait behave this way because the trait is both "blue" and "purple". If it is there it takes the spot of the second superior trait. But it is not considered superior when you comission the saurian, so the game makes your saurian blue. (There is no "superior efficient" trait.)
    Letheans have the same issue.
    And in a world where purple trumps blue, we get freaked out.

    It also makes blue efficient saurians just as good as a purple ones.

    As the everyone else said it's all about the trait distribution. As much as half the species have predetermined traits that restrict them from being "purple". But don't worry because unlike gear the "quality" of boffs has no direct influence on their stats, it's really just an indication of how many high ranking traits they have.

    Sorry for my late reply, I very rarely visit these forums. Thanks for the info folks, I was aware that efficient only comes in one flavour, I hoped he would get some other 'purple' quality trait to go along with it, after posting I did the mission where you get a potato man, so it turns out I didn't have much need for the saurian as it happens, thank you all the same, good responses.
