Time to Update the Liberated Borg Bridge Officers

lowy1lowy1 Member Posts: 964 Arc User
in Star Trek Online General Discussion
The Liberated Borg Officer should also have Superior Romulan Operative along with efficient, the Humans should have Leadership as well as efficient. You could give the Klingon Borg leadership or even pirate. They have been made obsolete by the Embassy and not to mention the Heirarchy Science Officer. On top of that, the Romulans are the only ones with consistent multiple space traits for the Bridge Officers.

    I disagree. They are Borg now. They are no longer their original race. The Borg mentality lingers after liberation.

    ^This, so I don't agree with changing their Traits. But I would love to see them changed to AlienGen BOFFs that would allow us to make them look Human, Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan, Andorian, etc., as well as give us an option between male and female, and tactical, engineering, or science, just like the Android BOFFs.

    I could see it both ways, in that the Borg programming that was drilled into them even still lingering could have altered the normal race trait abit. I mean sure it would make sense that they would not have their original trait, since most of what made them their race was assimilated an taken by the Borg. Yet I could also see the Borg refining the best trait of the race, and keeping it for their own use in that improved form. Like that having this Borg on your ship with other crew of a similar race might improve the buff those other boffs give.

    I could also go for more options for the base look of the Borg boffs/captains you can use, while also more options in borg parts to put on them. THough i would also just like to see in the Alien-gen part of the character creator we had some cybernetic, mechanical parts/options we could use for creating a race that is not fully biological (like a fully sentient robotic race would be fun to have.), even if we did not get some unique trait for having them.

    Only update that is needed is a higher resolution version of the Borg costume those boffs have access to.

    Valid points but my thing is even if it is power creep is that Klinks and Feds get the short end of the stick in regards to BoFF space traits. Even embassy boffs have only one trait. Romulans can fill a bridge with 2x space traits per slot and have access to all to the couple that Feds and klinks do.

    Ideally they would open it up to the system player characters have and we select the trait. They could keep species specific for superior but the lower tiers would be open (e.g. Romulans get sro non romulans get operative).

    As well as changes to the Body Builder so we can decide how Borgified they are.

    They do, but if I am not mistaken, Leadership only counts once, unlike the rest of the space traits. You would think all of the space faring species in game would offer something. With 90% of the Non Romulan player base having Romulan Tactical Officers and maybe a Krenim or the Heirachy Science Officer, Space is pretty limited in BoFF diversity.

    90% of the DPS crowd, not 90% of non-Romulans. Plenty of us put roleplay ahead of max DPS, and none of my fed or klingon characters have Romulan boffs (ok, my original main has a "Romulan" first officer, but it's an aliengen so she can wear fed uniforms).

    And maybe make it customizable in general.... it can have accessories added to it, but can't be recolored at all.

    every effect on leadership stacks

    pirate, only the damage bonus stacks; stealth only applies highest level

    romulan operative, only the crit chance stacks; cloaking recharge speed, not sure, but i don't think it stacks, or if it does, it works like the infiltrator ambush duration as noted below

    imfiltrator, unsure on the defense bonus; the ambush duration does stack, but only with different ranks (so 2 superior infiltrator ambush durations won't stack, but a regular and a superior will); stealth bonus, same as pirate

    efficient, i have no idea because it's garbage so i don't use it anyway

    the krenim CD reductions i also have no idea because i don't own any, but i would assume they fully stack​​
