The game does not allow you to train Romulan/Reman bridge officers using Fed/KDF bridge officers because Cryptic decided that it is "not right". Fortunately there's an oversight so you can train your Romulan/Reman bridge officers using Fed/KDF bridge officers.
For instance a Romulan player (that would be you!) wants to train a Tac Romulan bridge officer Beam Overload III, normally this requires another Romulan/Reman bridge officer.
In order to train this Romulan Tactical officer you will need to trick the game using the following method:
Commission a Fed Tactical officer (quality doesn't matter, you can get one for about 100 EC from the Exchange) and make sure it sits in your active roster (that is the list on the left).
Obtain a non-commissioned Fed Tactical officer with the ability you want to train, in this case Beam Overload III and use this bridge officer to train any bridge officer.
Note that the "Special" bridge officers from featured episodes are just normal bridge officers with a unique skin and can also be used.
So by making the game think we want to train another Fed bridge officer we can actually use this to train Romulan and Reman bridge officers... at least until Cryptic finds out and fixes it.
Just remember that all 3 bridge officers involved need to be of the same career. (Sci/Tac/Eng)
Interesting, should prove useful. Unfortunately while reading this I got hypnotised by the dancing Kitty in your avatar and have not been able to leave the page...
i've had a fed officer train my rommie before! or do u mean kdf rommie getting trained by fed boff?
There is no such thing as KDF-Romulan or Fed Romulan bridge officers, they have their own separate allegiance called Romulan so they cannot be uses by Fed or KDF characters.
An exception are Romulan bridge officers from the embassy and the Reman from the story mission and technically these are not allied to the Romulan faction but to your character's faction (same as any other special bridge officer like the Breen), thus you are able to train them.
Also I believe at the very beginning of the Legacy of Romulus you could train Romulan bridge officers with bridge officers from other factions but they fixed this.
Updated the original post to include Intel bridge officers and added an example picture, this thread is also coming up to it's 1 year anniversary and Cryptic still hasn't fixed it and hopefully never will.
