So...When are we going to get some Space Trait Love for Klinks and Feds?

Romulans get 5 space traits with their DR intel officers while Klinks and Feds get 2. Add in the Hierarchy from DR and that's 7 between 4 BoFFs. Outside of Porkins, Feds and Klinks can only muster 1 and they really aren't very good. Efficient used to be but not really necessary now. Also, they only come or certain species, which is my issue.
Give us he ability to pick and choose traits on our Boffs. I'm guessing 99.999999999999% of the bridge crews in STO have Romulan Tac Officers, Some sort of Borg Engineer and Science Officer or odd Nausicaan (which may have changed with the Vulcan Intel and Hierarchy BoFF). There is no reason why most of the species in STO should not have some space traits.
Some races are absolutley pointless even on an away team. Pakled or Tellerite Ring a bell? Yea, they may be ok but there is another that does the job better. If you want a tank, the JH, Klingon, or Rigelian are hard to beat. Betazoid is by far the best science healer. Threat Reduction and Superior Creativity are not found on any other race. Klingons with Warrior and Honerable make them among the best Tac ground officers.
Now I'm not saying everyone needs to have Operaive but there needs to be more variety.

Just code in a reduced bonus when used on Boffs instead of the player, so that you can still stack it (alongside the Player), but it won't be too potent (with stacking of about 5 Boffs roughly equaling a player equipped with the trait).
Besides Feds get the best ship traits and are likely to always have more options there.
Why can't I have a Vulcan science officer who is efficient, or is good at spotting weaknesses of enemies (+Crit)?
For my Klingon's crew, why do I need a Nausican? Klingons have always been raiders (= pirate) too. Look at the doff missions for KDF, it's Marauding not Diplomacy.
Cryptic is missing the chance to make some dil / zen off of me by revamping the doff trait system to allow this.
I really don't know where you got that picture...
However I agree with the op.... For a romulan its Prety much standard to fly arround with a full setup of space trait officers.
The others.... Not so much...
I got a visual and I spewed mtn dew out my nose thanks to that.:D
Yup, I have 5 SRO/RO scattered amongst 3 fed chars. But like the above poster said, you only get them in Tac Flavor, not to mention they're Romulan, I want more variety. With a ship crew you are pigeon holed between Humans, Romulans , A Vulcan Intel, Porkins if you've finished DR, Saurians, a Naussicaan(Diplomacy) and a couple Borg.
I just want some variation in my crew. I 'grew up' with a set of BOffs if you will - I want to keep using them.
Except they suck compared to Romulans and other very specific species.

The Trait PADDs are an interesting idea, too, as is the Boff Genetic Resequencer... though the latter probably violates Federation law and Klingon sensibilities in general, given the history both have with genetic tampering. Come to think of it, how do our captains even get away with tampering with out genomes? Maybe if they were only usable by the same Species it would work, or Species that have access to the given Trait in their list...?
Wouldn't those be Vulcans and not Romulans. Fried Epohh goes so well with Romulan Ale. Food is just one of the many uses of Epohhs on New Romulus. Other uses include construction material, fuel source, and radiation shielding. The Romulan Embassy is made out of Epohhs.
Given the lack of t6 Raiders we don't really have battlecloak either...
Those are the Vulcans, wrong species there mate, but very close
And a merry freaking Christmas to you too, Ebenezer.

Seems someone didn't read the actual post.
The romulans are tac oriented and that's fairly reasonable within lore and within current gameplay as it justifies having a difference between the factions something eroded by the fed whining for everything the other side has.
mentioning the KDF in his post seems to be a smokescreen to garner more sympathy.
I don't mind the KDF getting more boff traits to augment their playstyle but the feds have everything to choose from already without much loss.
Feds can't slot 5 of those. 3, tops; but realistically usually only 2.
Phantom has regular cloak, though. Ambush works on that too.
Reciprocity makes up for a lot, this is true.
