Hidden BOff gender on Exchange.

Don't know if this counts as a bug or not, but acquiring bridge officers is a guessing game, if you're trying to pay attention to gender. Whether it's from the personnel officer or buying them off the exchange, you can't tell the gender of who you're about to buy. And if I'm going to spend the only 1.5 million I have on a purple-quality officer I'd like to acquire, I don't want to lose it to a 50/50 guessing game.

(Sure, I still acquire the officer, but if I was hoping for one and got the other, it's still a letdown.)

    And we used to be able to trade candidates around, too. We used to trade active bridge officers, themselves, but I can see why that's not longer a thing. I can't even use the account bank or mail to send a candidate to another character.

    Go through Skills Menu, do not go through Ship Menu to see/change boff abilities.

    Yeah, guessing a bridge officer's gender has been like this since the beginning. It isn't revealed till it enters your inventory. Not really a game-breaker or even affect gameplay as gender means nothing in this game.

    Funny, I can see BOFF genders all the time. If you hover your mouse over the BOFF you want to acquire, a popup window should appear, which tell you everything you need to know about that BOFF (except for those ones that only list the personal traits), and that includes their gender. If you're not seeing it, then that's a bug.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
