Rom Operative and SRO

There are a few threads scattered around the Fed Shipyards where various posters recommend to get the Romulan Operative from the Embassy to get their bonus to CritH and CritD (Superior Romulan Operative).

But I read somewhere (and dang if I could find it for this post), where someone said to get the Blue MALE BOff. So, like a dutiful follower I run to an Emabby and notice the FEMALE also has SRO.

So, is there a difference between the male v female SRO (beside gender :P )?

    No, there is no difference. You can find females and males romulan boffs with that trait.

    The only places where you can adquire a romulan with the superior operative trait are, as far as i know:

    The exchange
    Your fleet embassy
    The regular story arc missions of the romulans
    Doff assignments

    Doff assignments (evaluate romulan tactical officer, etc) will usually appear only in new romulus command, so unless you are a romulan, you cant do em.. and they appear only in really VERY RARE ocasions. Back in the days i used to park in new romulus command to try to gather these boffs, but i gave up, since i almost never got one of em in months. Actually the last option of the four is not really effective and its not recommended (well unless you have a toon that is useless and you dont mind to have it all the time in new romulus command).

    Just for clarification: The only way for non-Romulans to get SRO-Trait BOs is from embassy.
    The Doff-Assignments are Romulan only and are avaiable in NR Command Center and Tau Dewa Sektor Block.
    There are on RO (no SRO) avaiable through Storyline. But for lv. 15,25,35,45 you get a new BO, which might happen to be a SRO (though that as nothing to do with storyline, but with level. As you can level from lv 11 to 50 without ever playing storyline ;) ).


    As for the purple Female and blue Romulan Male from embassy: The obvious difference is the price, the Female is (as its in RL too ;) ) far more expensive.

    And furthermore.

    The blue(rare) male roms will have superior romulan operative, while the blue(rare) females only have regular romulan operative.

    You can save big by just grabbing blue males.

    That is if your fed/kdf. If your rom, you don't need the embassy at all.

    There it is. That's what I missed when I went shopping, thank you.

    Time to go to the Embassy again :)

    Not confusing enough? The blue male Tac becomes purple when he joins your crew

    Well I suppose you could choke them, but if done too long, they would eventually turn blue. :eek::P

    Clearly, STO needs a minigame where you throttle your Boffs to try and upgrade their quality. Worked for Homer Simpson.

    I know a lot of Rom players that would like to choke Tovan Khev into a different shade of Very Rare Purple.
