Xindi-Terrestrial Duty Officer Infodump

borticuscryptic

A total of eighteen new Duty Officers are included in the Xindi-Terrestrial Lock Box! (9 Fed, 9 Kdf)

Each of these officers has a new Active Roster Ability (described below). While they do not have R&D Specializations, like the previous Xindi Doffs did, these officers are instead Ultra-Rare quality, which will enhance their impact on rewards and outcomes when used for Doff Assignments.

They also all come with a total of five traits, including Resolve.

Want!!!

captfabulous

Meh, no interest in DOFFs that give me a "chance" to do something, especially when that chance is 20% or less. I'd much rather use DOFFs that are guaranteed to do something for me each and every time a condition is met.

walshicus

I wish we got Romulan specific DOFFs from lockboxes...

reginamala78

Nothing OP (at first glance at least) for a change, good to see.

lucho80

Lol, they created a FPB build doff since many of them use FBP+RSP.

Thank you!

The ground doffs are pretty nice(Doctor will definitely help EG-Induction Field combing), as is the new Projectile doff(I will be looking into getting one for my Armitage). While there's nothing.. mold-breaking.. here, they all look pretty solid and otherwise useful for just doffing at the very least.

lordhavelock

Thanks for the dump, Bort.

For these Ground abilities, are BOffs counted? In other words, if my BOff Engineer summons a turret or my BOff Sci uses Medical Tricorder, will my Eng/Sci captains' kit cooldowns be reduced? What about my Tac captain? Will his BOff's abilities get CD reduction?

And then for the Explosive Expert, how does that work with BOffs, if at all?

Or in all these cases is the "You" only the Captain? So the Armory Officer and Doctor have no use on anything but an Eng and Sci, respectively?

trillbuffet

Great doffs might get some of them one day but gotta see how season 10 pans out before getting involved in the game again.

dragonsbrethren

That projectile weapons officer sounds nice, but it'll be tough giving up a cooldown reduction slot for them. I'm not sure if the damage increase will make up for torps firing less often.

amezuki

A Biochemist with Eidetic and Logical? Yes please.

OTOH, that Explosives Expert is useless with Stubborn; it's a Disaster trait for Defuse Mine Field and Dilithium Mining, which are the two core assignments for which that specialization is essential.

It does kind of read like...eh?

* 20% chance: Restore 2% of Max Hull when activating Feedback Pulse or Reverse Shield Polarity

There's got to be something wrong with the wording.

20% chance for a 2% heal when activating the ability?

Somebody with 60k hull...20% chance for a 1200 heal every how many seconds one can activate the ability? Even if one were to take into account damage resistance and viewing it as an effective addition back to hull health...hrmmm.

That either has to be a typo or the most useless doff ever.

The EMH doff was only the beginning. I change my opinion on these, they are very valuable for doffing purposes. I went straight to the abilities and completely missed this aspect of them.

40%+ crit chance anyone?

At this point, the heal cooldown reductions have to add up to more than 50% when you combine everything.

Lol, I'd say this is a bad idea, but Aux2bat builds would have to sacrifice in other areas in order to slot these.

Doctor doff - I'd love the equivalent for offensive abilities

Explosives expert - Very nice

That's the only one that could be interesting, but 2% ? And a proc, not even guaranteed ? No thanks.

Quite frankly, the space cooldown doesn't mean anything anymore. An a2b build will bring them to base CD. And if you don't play that, then reciprocity and various buffs, doffs, traits and whatnot will do the same anyway.

A2B and heal boat don't mix up well unless you plan on somehow boosting Aux power after you drain it with aux2bat (Even if the aux drain from it is buggy as all hell)

gavinruneblade

Can someone better at builds and math than me let me know if that diagnostic engineer is helpful for synergy with the positive feedback loop trait, or the 10% is too low a chance for it to really matter?

Granted, most ships that could benefit would be at or near 125 aux anyway...

That depends, if you run your Aux power at or very near 125 to 135 (Depends on warp core) then it's not worth it (Unless the +25 can surpass the max power level which I doubt).

Like you said, most ships that use heals and exotic damage already run with Aux maxed. This would benefit engineers more IMO.

Agreed, "chance" boff aren't the least bit interesting, not unless the chance is at least 75%.

Well, I'd say that also depends on how often those dice get rolled. Something that, say, procs 10% chance every time a beam attack does damage is going to be fairly useful for a FAW build, simply by the sheer frequency of the checks against the proc.

I do have a build that runs a split weapon/aux setting from time to time and drains to pump to full. Might be interesting there.

Thanks for the confirmation on my suspicions though.

One of the timecops has a power with a 1% proc rate. I think Isis? Anyways, that proc is checked each time you hit an anemy with a energy attack, so 1% is actually not as bad as it sounds.

A 10% chance on a ship that cycles EngTeam*2 well.... that'll get used a bit more than other ships.

Almost interesting, but I would only ever see one stack as I run a Hargh'Peng. What really needs to happen is to ease some of the restrictions that have been unfairly employed against the people's Hargh'Peng.

At last a new DOFF that affects sci ground healers, hurrah! Much needed seeing as there are precious few. Interesting that dylovene counts as a heal, mind you, when it doesn't restore health (even if it boosts maximum).

Also thanks for the info; I have added them to my list here: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1099371

As I said, with reciprocity and DOFF you can achieve the same results.

Severely under-powered, this doff. I can equip 3 of them on my torp bomber, and receive a maximum of 15% damage with just torps... OR, I can equip Torosek + Exocomp, and receive 20% damage to all weapons any time I pop a weapon battery.

Highly recommend buffing it so it's not actually worse than other options.

Does this mean you are fixing The Doctor/EMH Mk I to have a quality bonus? And will it be greater than ultra rare?

robyvision

That 10/20% chance of something kills my enthusiasm to buy any of this doffs.:(
