Questions pretty much in the title.

Is it possible to train someone elses bridge officer

[Archived Post]

Yes. You simply have the other player remove all their BOs gear and then trade it to you face-to-face. You can then train it and trade it back to them.

You cannot, however, email them to your VA science/tac/eng alts to have them trained... it requires a trusted middle man, which is lame.

I disagree. I think it encourage team work rather than self sufficiency.
After all we are playing an MMO ;)

I would agree with that. If team work, as a whole, played a significant part of the game. It does not. So to have team work tagged onto something as minor and simple as officer training. Just makes the whole thing feel like an out of place irritation rather then a complete system.

Team work?

All a person has to do is go to the main hub (esd or qu'nos) and ask in zone chat, someone offers, you trade the boff, you get it back with the new skill and then you never see the other person again.

Good luck with that when you want a 20 million credit officer trained by some random guy you'll never see again - and in this case there's a rather large probability you'll REALLY never see him again :eek: :cool:

So yeah, being part of a decent fleet with other team mates helps a lot, as does having - gasp - friends online.

Hence the word "trust".

note: however you can not trade liberated borg engineers, borg science, or photonic science officers. they are stuck with the skills you can scrounge off the exchange since those officers are bound to you.

Can you trade the diplomacy BOs for training? I wouldn't have thought so, but I can hope.

I'm not handing anything I value to anyone else, how many fleet thief posts do you need to read? I'll wait until they fix it so you can mail it to yourself OR they make a way for the training to be done without the boff leaving your possession thru a training window interface.

well couldnt ya just get a common bo you dont care about at the bo vendor, trade it for training, then get it back to train up your commisioned one?

eg: if it gets taken its a common run of the mill bo you didnt care about anyhow?

No. To train someone you must Commission them and they can't be uncommissioned. Commissioned BOs go directly into the Commissioned list when trained. They never go to the Unassigned list so they can't be used for training.

The only boffs like that I can think of are possibly the efficient saurians and I'm not on fed side so none issue there

I've traded BOIII boffs for training before to strangers and never had an issue. If it is an issue though you just trade them a boff you don't care about, get the skill you want and then train on the rare boff only skills. I've traded boffs between toons using a stranger before too (the last one had BOIII and C:SVIII two boff only skills) and non issue.

Either way it really doesn't encourage team work.
