    because he is a story boff we cant remove him from our roster. so why not add a way to upgrade his traits a bit like we now pick our own chars traits

    They just need to allow us to dismiss him when his story is over if you don't want him, Right now its like Star Wars.... attack of the clones, except the Tal Shiar found the most irritating.... boring and useless Romulan... cloned him and unleashed them on to the universe!
    How I picture a lot of the forumites :P

    I want to get rid of that guy too. He's annoying and I don't like him. It's like a Romulan Wesley Crusher that we're stuck with!

    the reason is that he is part of the legacy and story of the romulan faction.
    Task Force Spectre, Legion of Spectre, and House of Spectre is recruiting!
    I watch the only good STO podcast STOked Radio
    Want to learn more about any of the above? Let me know!

    I don't like the fact you can't get rid of Khev at all, but I like his skill set and you can change his skills just like any other BOF.

    not to mention, he has some nice traits. how often do you get a purple grade Boff right out of the tutorial?

    I really dont see why people hate him. he's got a good set of skills, CRF 3, TS3, CRF 1. and hes got some descent traits.

    His traits do not matter he is a ultra common boff who won't go away

    its his annoying face and habit of jumping in ANYWHERE a boff appears
    I have a Team of elite boffs and he isn't one of them

    I do not think it is his skill set, or the fact that you cannot delete him. the real annoyance is that even when you do not have him on your ship or ground crew, he always takes over.

    The problem comes from the devs assuming that you will use him regardless, even if you don't, the game has been designed with that assumption. So you end up with his voice on the wrong boff, or him appearing in communications when he is not even on the ship....

    How often? Every time I roll a new toon :-P
    There are tons of purple grade Boffs on the exchange. This way, I have FAR more control over my crews' gender, race, skills and to an extent, traits. (rarely get EVERYTHING I want, lol)
    Plus, I can discharge any of them if I want to.
    Granted, on rommies, I had to wait until I chose an alliance. But at that point, Tovan's skill set is still irrelevant, as our rank isn't high enough to utilize his more useful skills.

    I think Sunfrancks is right, here:

    The skill set seems to be a non-issue. Most people seem to agree they're pretty good (depending what you're trying to do, ofc)
    I think most people have an issue with the devs assuming we'd all be using him. Or even that we'd all want to.

    Personally, I'm irked because I can't discharge him.
    I ALWAYS discharge the default crew, and get a custom one.
    This makes him feel forced on me. And I resent him for that.
    I know it's just me being headstrong, but that's how I feel about it.
    And that's why Tovan is confined to the epohh pens scooping dung.

    Skills/Traits aren't everything. Not everyone uses torpedoes so TS3 isn't all that useful to everyone, and CRF3 is quite easily trainable if you're a tac captain or know someone who is.

    It's bad enough we pick up mission BOffs that we can't customize even the color of their uniform, being stuck with one is just wrong.

    You do know that Tovan Khev is fully customizable? He is a normal male Romulan with additional costume options.

    He is more customizable than any other male Romulan doff and useful on the ground and in space. But keep punching the dead gift horse in the mouth if you like it that much.:P

    I like the character and his skill set. The character fits in nicely with my own backstory... what I find annoying is the fact that when I go on an away mission and he's with me he's also calling me from the ship to give me information?!!?... apparently it's a trap... there's TWO of 'em! :D

    I have an all female away team and sometimes when there is a BOff screen the female BOff appears, but she is talking with Tovan Khev's voice. :eek:

    Must you complain about everything and ignore when someone gives a valid counter-argument?

    Tovan Khev can have his outfit and physical appearance changed. True or False? TRUE.

    Ergo, Tovan Khev is as customizable as any other bridge officer with the sole exception of him having a voice. Whether or not he has a part in the story that is more involved than the cookie cutter bridge officers is not the issue here, since you keep bringing up his customization options. Which are as varied as any other bridge officer that can be customized. Your argument has no floor to stand on because it is based on a false premise.

    Well, more than 0 does not have to be equal to or greater than 1. :rolleyes:
