I tested this using the Herald Vonph Dreadnought Carrier, with Delta Flyer and Danube Runabout as pets, and 3x Blue Flight Deck Officers. Reload time is the same with or without the officers: 30 seconds.
I'm using Rare Orion Slavers atm because the Choas die too fast. My science KDF Rom is at 60 now and I'm using her to farm dil only (I want to buy my account bank unlock :smile: ).
Two bugs in same image: - Boff and npcs stuck at door - a second Eraun using a weapon (btw, I just have one Jem'Hadar rifle, so I don't know where he got the one he's using).
Just a tip from a new player (less than a month playing). You can send some items and boffs to another char in your account by mail. There's a visual glitch when composing that doesn't show the boff in the slot, but you can send the mail with the item as usual.
