If we're going to keep getting traits and skill modules in lock boxes, space is going to becoming more and more competetive for them.
I'm cool with that, diversity and whatnot, it's good for pvp, but I'm just wondering if I'm alone in the conclusion that I'd have more demand for these traits and skills I can't fit into my build if I could put them on my boffs to make them a little more unique?
It would also make them a little more fun. What we have with most boffs is what we've been running with for years. I'd like to see a bit of a revamp that just adds more to the current trait/power pool (so we can at least get some new abilities without having to fork a lot into the lobi store or wait for a new faction) if only to add some spice to a very bland part of the game ATM.

Exactly. Boff traits are so old and random, it can be such a pain to find ones with good traits. Personally I wish boffs would have access to their racial and profession traits at the very least, so my vulcan engineer pick between mind meld, nerve pinch, nanomolecular engineer, etc etc.
Same for skills. I have no use for flash bomb, for example, but it would be cool to give to a boff as their "specialty" ability or something.
