If this is a real thing it would have been a perfect idea for a dilithium sink.
But of course they’ll sell it for a ridiculous price in the store instead….🤦♂️

Elite Bridge Officer Training!
The galaxy continues to turn, the Khitomer Alliance endures challenge after challenge, and in the adversity grows stronger than any had dared dream. Learning from each other has accelerated development everywhere, but not all development is technology. Doctrine is often just as important, advances in training and new ways of thinking provide the changes we need to endure turbulent times. The new Elite Captain training program has likewise expanded to include promising Elite Bridge Officer candidates. Taught by the greatest minds of the Alliance, Elite Bridge Officers are able to leverage gear and traits from peoples across the quadrant, breaking free from the limiting training of a single culture and a single people. Working together and learning from one another, these disparate groups are becoming something far more than they ever were apart.
You can take advantage of this, too, Captains, with the Elite Bridge Officer Boost token. Purchase one of these tokens to upgrade one of the Bridge Officers on your account, similar to the Elite Captain Upgrades for Captains. Applying a token to your Bridge Officer will instantly add:
Upgrade to Ultra Rare, upgrading all Inherent Traits to maximum rank for their respective types
Learn all standard Bridge Officer abilities (see the Upgrade Token details for a complete list)
1 Kit Frame Slot
1 Person Ground Trait Slot
1 Device Slot
These slots allow Bridge Officers to learn Ground Personal Traits, previously only the domain of Captains. The gain access to a default list based on their species. When the Captain acquires a new trait, they will be presented with a choice of which character to teach it to, opening the door for massively increased Bridge Officer customization. Note that a few traits, such as those which modify Captain powers or the Bond With Life trait, cannot be learned by Bridge Officers – these are marked as such in their More Details section. These tokens only apply to one character at a time, so make sure to apply them to the Bridge Officer you want to use them on.
The Elite Bridge Officer Upgrade Token retails for 500 Zen for a single token, or you can buy a bundle of four for 1200 Zen. However! From 8 AM on 9/13 to 10 AM on 9/19, both the bundle of four and the single tokens will be 20% off! Grab them at a discount while you can!

At least the pricing is less than what we thought it might be, but that's hardly a mercy when STO is concerned.
Still, reasons to go out and invest in these tokens:

Only an utter mad person would buy these. What a completely pointless waste of dev resources. Ground content is barely a challenge as it is; certainly little point to blow 500-2000Z for an away team's worth of tokens.
Should have been a dilithium sink....

Sure Cryptic, let me just grab my wallet....
Ground Boffs are just way to limited for this to be worth while. They aren't used for TFOs, they don't even join on a number of ground maps, and they have weak AI when they are with you. If the game allowed friendly fire, your Boffs would probably kill you more often than they kill the bad guys. If you really want to up your ground game, just invest in your Captain and call it a day. Otherwise, we are getting access to SRO boffs for all from the looming fleet rewards release, so better to save your resources for upgrading your ship builds instead.

As I said on Discord the other day, the only boff I can see these having some if any use on in the long term is the veteran android boff as they have no space traits so they're a logical choice for the ground stuff.
It appears we're all getting a free token in the update (probably an effort to try and entice people into forking over for more) so at the very least we can get a closer look at it in the field so to speak.

Ok, so it arrived and I used the freebie on my android. It gives them a kit slot, device slot and a ground trait slot, which from what I saw seems to be drawn from the default traits and doesn't pull from the traits your character already knows. I haven't got a box handy to test it beyond that. It was the racial traits I was wanting to take a look at:
Default BOFF:
Upgraded BOFF:
It's not really making a huge difference. There may be some situational uses for it, but it's certainly nothing to run out and get as a must have on the face of it.

I guess for space combat the best use is on the Kentari BOFF to get some more +bonus all damage.
I'm eager to test the token on my ancient veteran BOFF, you know the one with Space Warefare Specialist and ground Veteran traits.

I think you don't get an upgrade on your Kentari and the best Space Boffs are SRO's.
