Nausicaans are your friend, use them

Really they are. With the Pirate trait recently fixed, Nausicaans are GREAT to have on a ship. Sure they cannot match the raw crit potential of Romulan BOFFs, but they are still an awesome boost.
Don't let the 1.5% all damage part fool you. It's a final modifier, which, I don't know the exact math about it, but it equates to more than you think. Now, the damage bonus does stack from them, but it will not stack the Stealth bonus.
Still, even 3 non-tac Nausicaans can be a pretty decent boost to a ship. Like on one toon, I got my DHCs to go from 2000 damage (sitting in system space) to 2100 damage just by equipping 3 of them. On my KDF sci, I have 3 Nausicaans as well, and have transphasic torpedoes sitting at 5000 damage.
Now, don't waste your ECs buying very rare Nausicaans on the exchange if you are only wanting the Pirate trait, as that comes with EVERY Nausicaan BOFF, guaranteed, irregardless of rarity.
I'd still recommend, if you have access to them, buying the rare male tac Romulan BOFFs from the embassy for the crit boost.

But if it is going to stay permanent then I might need to airlock some lethans

...that would be the K't'inga model.
It's broken since Jan 2011, was briefly fixed for 2 months in late 2011 and remains broken ever since, no matter whom we tell about it.
superior operative and subterfuge are still way too powerfull compared to other space taits.
if this is indeed an attempt to close the chasm between rom supOp/supInf boffs and the anaemic kdf boff choices (effecient and... nothing) it really does fail on all counts.
but i dont think it is an attempt at all. cryptic boned the kdf and they did it on purpose. there is no remedy for that.

In all seriousness though, it's nice to see the KDF get a working space trait of their own, even if it doesn't quite match up to the Romulans.
Point of the thread was just to advertise that Nausicaan BOFFs, now that they do work, are worth looking into if anyone is interested.
Nah, I wouldn't say it's an attempt to balance out the Romulan Boff OPness, but it's rather a fix on the Nausicaan space trait that was suposed to work like this since forever, except that due to the general buggyness of STO this never worked properly untill recently.
Do space traits stack cumulatively?
--> 2 Nausicaan BOffs = 2x 2.5% Dmg buff = 5% Dmg buff?
STOWiki admin.
The Nausicaan buffs stack. They are 1.5% (not 2.5%) and they buff all damage.
They do indeed! My entire crew is made up of Nausicaan and Orion pirates, led by their swashbuckling Gorn captain! One has to wonder why the KDF felt giving these people a ship was a good idea. I wish I could hang a jolly roger out the back window.
aim them at the feds and tell them to have fun?
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Arrr! THIS^^^
My captain is an orion babe with an unruly crew of thugs who will do just about anything to get a job done if there is loot to be earned. Perfect, I can be a loot you know what and roleplay at the same time, few games offer this....
You know, for a bunch of thugs and louts, they are pretty sharp. Everywhere I go, one of those pirates busts in on my screen to tell me that there are exactly 6 ubertech gizmos that need to be disabled and that it can only be done by pulling off the back panel and exposing it to tricorder radiation or something. They mess it up sometimes --- I can't tell you how many times they have me kill everyone on a ship before beaming out and blowing it up --- but mostly they know what needs to be done down to the smallest detail. And I just thought they were hired muscle.
