The idea is that you request a shuttle of new recruits, they show up and then you assign them to active or reserve rosters. We will most likely revamp the way you get Bridge Officer recruits as well as part of this. |
Will there be different rarities?
How do we obtain a shuttle?

This may change in the future, but right now they are two completely different types of crew. |
So you go to your ready room, hail the duty team for a status update and get a quick visual of a BO giving you a summary, maybe with emotes that give you a feel for how well things are going. And if they're dead/in trouble, maybe you hail and get a shot of an empty shuttle or something.

Thanks for the info, Salami_Inferno and dstahl! Also, thanks for the pic!
So, it looks like we'll have our current boffs, which we'll be able to assign them into positions in our Senior Staff. Any info on how many Senior Staff members we can/will have? I'm expecting the usual Chief Medical, Chief Engineer, Chief Tactical, etc, but will we be able to have Astrometrics Officer, Transporter Chief, etc?
As for the new doffs, I like the look of the interface (even if it is a WiP), and the idea of how they'll work with our crew. Will different ships have different amounts of doffs? Also, since our doffs will have what look like personality traits, will our current boffs be getting these as well?
The more I read and see about the upcoming doff system, the more I love it. Man, is it June yet?

on the subject of bridge officers, will this system include a fix or revamp for the long-standing problem of uncommon saurian bridge officers being the only BO's in the game with a space Trait?
