Bridge officer traits

See player traits for traits available to your own character.

Behaving much like player traits, Bridge Officer traits (or BOff traits) grant space or ground bonuses (in rare cases ground abilities) to your bridge officers. Almost all BOff traits have a player trait-counterpart, with both versions usually providing the identical type bonus. Each BOff has four traits, which, unlike player traits, cannot be altered.

A specific property of BOff traits are their three potencies:

• "Basic": 50% bonus
• "Standard": 100% bonus
• "Superior": 150% bonus

Potencies are determined by the BOff's quality/rarity:

• Common BOffs: 2 Basic Traits, 2 Standard Traits
• Uncommon BOffs: 1 Basic Trait, 3 Standard Traits
• Rare BOffs: 1 Basic Trait, 2 Standard Traits, 1 Superior Trait
• Very Rare BOffs: 2 Standard Traits, 2 Superior Traits.

Depending on the BOff's race, between one and, in rare cases, four (out of four) traits are "required". These are traits, which automatically come in Standard potency and are always found with an officer of a specific species.
