Hai there !
I hit Lieutenant Commander and got a better ship. I chose a Cruiser. It has four Boff stations - 1 tac, 2 eng & 1 sci.
I have one of each assigned but haven't been able to assign another eng officer. Actually I can't recruit one as it says I don't have enough room. So i've got a station unused which is a pain.
How do I recruit a new Boff ? I got a couple from mission rewards but never had room for them.
The help menu says to hit U and choose the 'assignments' tab but I can't find any assignments tab ... ??
On the subject of Boffs ... how do I get my 'polarize hull' ability to show in my Ship gui ? I have two science officers and neither has the ability showing up. It's one of their skills I know because I purchased it. They have 4 slotted skills in the skills window but I can only use 2 ... hmm ...
If it's not something simple like using the training manual after purchasing it or promoting bridge officers there's also a glitch that can cause your bridge officer abilities to have blank spots when trying to assign abilities in your ship's stations tab.
Here's a link to a thread that can help with the issue. Check out the post in the thread by @corinthalas - it's worded in an easy to understand way that worked for me.
Yep thanks guys I got it working by selecting my Boff skills under the 'stations' tab ...
I'm a Captain now and I really needed to get this sorted so thanks for your help
I don't know if you've used some of the very good online resources available such as the wiki. This part would pertain to your question above about different bridge officer abilities - https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Bridge_officer_and_kit_abilities
Sometimes a quick google search can work wonders.
Congrats on making Captain! Things are more fun having Commander bridge officer abilities available for your ship and away team

Was it Sci or Eng that can do 'Polarize Hull' ?
Whats the deal ?
