Ok folks I have just one beef with this whole Command/Intel/Pilot thing. Some ships really need the Hybrid Boff slot for the first Boff trait i.e. Eng, Sci, or Tac with the Command,Intel,Pilot being not so much a priority. Plus there are very viable t5 ships around that could usea little love that have no Hybrid slot yet have a "universal" Boff slot or two. Why not make at least teh single trait slot universal boff slots truely universal and allow them to be used for any trait be it "normal" or a command /intel/pilot? One slot dedicted to any trait is not that big a deal but sure as heck would breathe some life into some decent t5's like the Oddy, Mogh and Rom's. Plus what the point in having Level 3 (4 boxes) pilot Science when the Boff slot only goes to Level 2 (3 boxes)

That said, I'm curious to see how the T6 B'rel turns out.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Yeah, that would be pretty bad. The stuff one could pull off with something like this......terrifying...
Been wondering for a while how the T6 bop layout will look like, probably similar to the pilot raptors.
It will not happen.
I doubt that the guys asking for it have to worry facing BOPs. I am fairly confident they only look at it from a PvE perspective, and it doesn't matter how broken and overpowered any particular ship beomes then, because they never have to fight against it.
But of course, a few months later they'll realize that countless of ships are now considered useless/underpowered because they don't have enough universal slots and if you want to win the DPS race, you must fly BOP or a similar ship with high level universal slots.

Not sure what ship you think sailed here - the Universal Slot on the Jem'Hadar ship can only carry one particular specialization, not any.
Unless the Tier 6 BOP will break the all-universal pattern for KDF BOPs, it will work similar there. Any of the standard base class Bridge Officers, but only one particular specialization.
Assuming a lot with your entire reply. And didn't gecko leave like a year ago? And to be blunt it's BOP's that the rest of us are carrying in PVE as your precious BOP's are usually burning or are off chasing stuff that doesn't matter.
Lets speak some truth here take the command cruisers for example. Eng/Cmnd hybrid slot. Ok fill it with eng talents which you need you end up with zero Cmnd talents available period. Fill it with Cmnd you need to use your universals for Eng so again you loose out on abilities. Which is why I think it would be reasonable a player be allowed to slot in at least one of the "special" talents in a single slot universal.
No.

He means that the JHSS simply is groundbreaking for the fact that it has a Universal Station that can slot a Spec ability.
Before the JHSS came out, there was talk that a T6 BOP is impossible because that means assigning a Specialization to a Universal Station. Before the JHSS, no ship has ever had that unique ability. But the JHSS showed it was possible. Months later we see "unofficial word" about a T6 B'Rel.
