Is there anyone able to explain these doffs? I understand they don't have active abilities, but what kind of traits and careers do they have? Are they good for doffing outside of the research base?
I believe you're asking about the ones available on the fleet lab (green room, console to the left)? They have the new Perfectionist trait, which as far as I know is only used in the doff assignments also only available at the fleet lab (blue room, NPC in the middle). Although the doffs lack an active duty ability, they do have R&D specializations. The downside I've found is you have no guarantee of getting the R&D spec you want, since it's completely random. They are also bind on pickup, so you cannot sell any you get but don't need.
I have some included in my lists of R&D doffs: Fed | KDF
