Romulan Bridge Officers - Debuff them

As it stands for the romulan bridge officers are a wee bit OP. They have 2 space traits each, while KDF/FED boffs only have 1 space trait, and rom boffs stack.
It would be nice for rom boffs to have a space trait removed, or add a 2nd space trait to KDF/FED boffs.
A good idea in my opinion would limit the type of rom traits to specific bridge officer. ie;
The crith/critd trait should only be limited to tactical boffs, the defense trait limited to Engineer boffs, and stealth trait limited to science boffs.
Kind of like embassy rom boffs available to KDF/FED. Probably be better to limit the romulan side to boffs like the rom embassy ones.
It's quite startling that a rom captain can have well over 30% critical chance (those new fleet tac consoles dont help either) and some can hit about 140%+ crit severity.
The majority of vape boats are romulans.
It would be nice for cryptic devs to think and test things first before releasing TRIBBLE like that, power creep is slowly killing this game.

Yeah.. no love :P Just an OP subfaction that should of been a separate faction on its own, where you'd have to grind your own starbase.
and lol at the doooom thread. You're probably right. Too many whiney rommy players going "noooooo! I want my 150k crits on cruisers with 60% resists!"
I'd like to see more balance.

Thats pretty much it, unless your a romulan, then you can get them leveling up.
the first big problem here is that it is a nerf, which is always bad in any MMO, even when necessary, it causes much angst. The second issue is that many people paid stupid amounts of money for their officers, and a nerf to them would be like stealing money from those players. The third issue is splitting the buffs up by class... here again, frustrating players that bought their officers, and making some ships better than others just due to the ensign seat which might favor one trait or the other -- a ship with a universal ensign that was mostly a joke before is now a lot more powerful than it was, see? This is worse than the problem with stealing energy credits with a nerf --- it directly touches purchased ships and lobi, real money spent, far more important than EC.
How to solve it? You already said.... the answer is to buff other factions, not nerf the roms. If all factions had good space trait officers, everything is normalized again.
Sorry, did you say something?
Well, that's too bad.
N.B. And what's with Rom female boffs only having 1.5% CrtH!?! This is the 21th century, you know?!
Indeed, everyone knows that females are overly critical.

This issue still needs to be addressed. Nerf them, or buff kdf/fed boffs.
I would much rather see this than a debuff to the rommies. No reason to make a good thing worse when you can make an okay thing good.
This!
Also... right now the kind of logical step would be to make the rom bos usable for the other factions...
After all, Roms can use KDF/Fed BOs too, so that would be fair...
Also, the DOs work for all factions, too.
