dressing up BOFFs (Help)

spy8446 · October 2022

So one of my fed toons (TRIBBLE) I was making him and his officers look "Armored" but my Tactical Boffs for some reason can not use any of the arm, chest etc gear.
Now I know that this is a bug in the game, but is there any trick or work around to have them be able to use the gear?

At all or the specific pieces you wanted to use as there's limits to what items you can use with what outfits and in case of some outfits there's a limit what you can use in the general categories. For example, you can only use the base uniform for the recent emperor's outfit none of the additional geo.

A few questions here: What level is your toon? What base costume are you using? Which armor parts are you wanting to use?

As a costume fiend... I'd like to help. However I do have to echo baddmoon's questions. Need more information to know your situation before any answers can be provided.

I second the requests from the posters above me.

I'll use this as an excuse to rabble rabble rabble:

FREE THE TAILOR! All Costumes, All Crew All The Time! Full RGB Palettes! YAAAAAA!!!!!!! (waves arms like the madman, runs in circles)

I return you now to your regularly scheduled thread,

this toon is at lvl 65, it is only the tac officers that can not have ANY of the items besides jem'hadar things that look like shotgun shells.
The uniform used is Sierra 5
I want to use things like security shoulder pads, arm guards etc, anything that makes these characters look like they are here for war.

Odd... as you level up you unlock more of the old Kit Module visuals for each slot.
Dumb question but are you looking in the right places for each piece? And are you under the Uniform category? I'm just trying to knock out any simple solutions first. Process of elimination. Screenshots would also be appreciated if you can get any.

Ok. After doing some looking in the Tailor myself and seeing your screenshots, more questions: Are your TAC BOFFs the DSC BOFFs from the tutorial? Is that ENG BOFF in the pic an actual ENG BOFF and therefore a 2409 FED BOFF?

spy8446 · October 2022

Yes they are both from the Discovery arc and they are both the starting ones, one Eng and one Tac (Color matching)
HOWEVER, I have another Tac officer that was not starter (I think) and she also can not use the same things.

Ok, this is odd. As far as I know and understand there are only 4 DSC era BOFFs that the player can acquire via the tutorial: Evelyn Savea (Female Human TAC), Tamav (Male Vulcan ENG), Ian Kwon (Male Human SCI), and Coraline Fletcher (Female Human TAC). The Female Cyborg SCI Miracle Worker BOFF is the only other FED DSC era BOFF that I'm aware of, but has to be bought from the Zen Store.

So, you saying that you have a DSC era Female Human ENG BOFF, I'd like to know how that happened, if she is indeed a DSC era BOFF, because I suspect that she's actually a regular 2409 FED BOFF. 🤔

Your other TAC BOFF that you say cannot use the armors, I believe is indeed a starter BOFF and most likely the aforementioned Coraline Fletcher.

With all that said, what I am observing is that the DSC BOFFs are not coded to use those costume pieces. I've attempted it on all 4 of the starter BOFFs under various Tailor options and they do not show up. Commissioning 2409 BOFFs, though, does allow the use of those armors on 2409 BOFFs. So, it would seem that the only "workaround" possible for you is to use 2409 BOFFs instead of the DSC BOFFs. As for the DSC BOFFs, I would suggest filing a bug report to get more costume options opened up for them, because as it is, the DSC BOFFs seem to have very little in the way of costume accessory options.

TBH im not 100% sure she is, unless she was a reward one just after the end of that arc?
this toon was made RIGHT when they released that part of the game.

His away team has 2 Tac 1 Eng and 1 Sci officer, both Tac can not use any of the other accessories that the Eng and Sci can. @_@

Just checked, my 2 tac officers are.
Evelyn Savea and Coraline Fletcher, both from Dis
The end and sci are both after the arc, so for some reason neither of them can use these items.

I did some experimenting on my own DSC Captain... DSC BOffs are actually restricted from certain parts. The C-Store Cyborg BOff even moreso, not even able to wear standard 2409 uniforms. And then for the hell of it I checked my TOS Captain's BOffs. TOS BOffs are just as restricted as DSC ones.

I cannot explain that one really.

As baddmoon suggested... probably file a bug report.

nixie50 · October 2022

you think that's odd. my rom has boffs half wear fed uniforms the other half cannot.

bjorjlen · October 2022

Well...

"Sometimes you feel like a Rom... Sometimes you don't..."

I think I'll everyone else fill in the rest... 😋

Peace...
