So, the FEDs will have their own Tovan Khev?

Well, just finished reading the last DEV blog of Season 8, about the new Federation Tutorial.
Maybe I interpreted wrong, but seems the FED toons will have their own version of Tovan Khev, that BOFF we can't fire.
Can any DEV clarify to us if this new BOFF called "Cadet Elisa Flores" will be implemented in the same way as Tovan Khev?
I'm my humble opinion, Tovan Khev have sense in the main Romulan History Arc, but let's be realistic, not being abble to discharge him after the conclusion of the history arc is annoying. His Skills do not justify the use of the BOFF Slot. I have seen so many people with similar opinions about this, that seems worthy of your attention.
If you want to keep this pattern with one BOFF, just make their Skills better and the history arround them rich.

Puts Kev to shame imho.

Elisa Flores, it's a woman right? :rolleyes:
Did you tested her on Tribble?
No surprise if this new BOFF comes better, they learned from Tovan, and... this is FED stuff, when the DEV cheaps are down double shifts.

Oh, okay........
I don't think we're that lucky.

What? It's a cheap free power source, and plentiful enough to supply me for eternity. :P

Because in every thread someone has to stand up and lit a fire.
Who is raging here? No one.

Rescue Ambassador Spock from the alternate timeline and deliver him to me so that he can finally become my husband!!!
Hey, Zachary Quinto will work if you can't get Leonard Nimoy.

You can fire Flores. They've already confirmed that multiple times.
TRIBBLE Hydra! Hail Janeway!
You can not even discharge Tovan sometimes when you are playing a federation of Klingon character in the Nimbus 3 missions. Often suddenly one of your boff's will start speaking with Tovan's voice...:rolleyes:
It's one slot you have to buy another one if want to use.
The big picture is: I think most of the people are upset because we don't have the right to discharg him, it's a loss of free will in-game.

He takes up a spot in the roster and cannot be dismissed. There is currently a bug where he will replace your department heads in the doff interface. if i was a roleplayer this would be immersion breaking for me i would think. Even if your away team is made up entirely of a new crew, it will glitch out and Tovan will pop in there to talk. Sometimes it even glitches out and his dialogue will show, but a placeholder male Andorian head will show up.
Then there is his attitude and behavior which some people dont mind, but some people do. He has a tendency to 'steal the spotlight' and i find this to be a distraction. With him it's understandable at least because you and him are friends. But how is Cadet Flores going to act? Imagine for a second if Capt Picard or Janeway captured some bad guy and they were about to interrogate him and get all dramatic, when BAM!!! Cadet Flores comes out of nowhere and she starts speaking all the dramatic dialogue. Cause that actually happens in the Romulan storyline in the game with your captain standing there going errr...and Tovan coming forward saying "ok mr bad guy, time for you to talk".

As a Romulan, that's the only BOFF I have with this traits, except for Satra. I'm not including the Embassy BOFF, as you need an embassy (obviously), and the necessary ressources for it.
I understand the frustration, but I don't share it. I'm happy with my Tovan.
BOFFs always acted as the Captain voice in STO. Nothing new.
We should be. There's no reason at all that we should be required to keep a BOFF we're never going to use.
Then you're clearly doing something wrong. Romulan Operative is easy to get, it's the Superior version that's harder and Tovan doesn't have it.
He only has Basic Romulan Operative though, the one you really want is Superior Romulan Operative (SRO).
You know how the first 4 boffs are always the named ones? what about the generic boff rewards you get after them? non of your boffs rewarded after Hiven are SRO? i think they are mostly randomized, but i must have really good luck because on one toon two of the generic boffs i got had SRO. On another toon that i wasnt playing much i found that 2 of my candidates were also SRO so i mailed them to my main Romulan toon. I'm thinking about rolling some toons and leveling them just to see if i can get more boffs with SRO lol.
^THISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHIS. Story is okay, but damn, don't force it on me.
Also
Some things just dont translate well into games. In the movies and shows Riker may speak for Picard, but if the writers wanted to they could have Picard tell Riker to shut the eff up. But in STO you arent watching this going on you are actually a part of it. I cant tell Tovan to shut up, stand down, as you were, or stay on your station. I have to sit there and listen to his (sometimes bad) dialogue. Unless i'm given the option to hear what my first officer has to say or just go with what i think is right i would rather just have my first officer there being supportive or being quiet. I think there was only one time where i was given the option "what do you think Tovan" and that was during the Khitomer mission.
