Thanks a bunch. I knew they came back on pc from researching stuff and things. But it was years later was it not? I also thought they were back for a limited time as well so it's good to know that it's not so much.
Not sure about your specifics but romulan and reman boffs don't sprint. If this applies to your situation, you can get 4 kdf or federation boffs for your away team until they fix this issue.
Seems like all romulan faction bridge officers won't sprint. Depending on who you've allied with you can take 4 kdf or federation boffs for your away team. They'll keep up with you. Hopefully they fix it, but until they do...
First, to the above poster, your issue isn't the same as the op's. Second, there is a work around for this. Go to a mail terminal and send all the r&d things that are in your main inventory to yourself. Then you can accept them back and they will go to the proper r&d inventory.
