    I really like how Cryptic & this Humble Bundle is doing this with a good amount of time for any players to redeem. Sure it isn't a ship or anything big & players might have some of it already but it benefits everyone. Nice gesture from Cryptic & Humble Bundle & it's appreciated. Now to open for my 3 Phoenixes for, I'm certain, 3 more Uncommons. I would've laughed if it included an Upgrade Token lol.

    Well, before I waste time on it, can someone tell me which Borg BOFF this is? If it's the normal one in the C-Store, that was a pre-order bonus, then I have that one...if it's the Reman, though, that's worth it...

    idk, i got a female klingon, purple, one of three

    It seems to be the C-store one, note that if you claim the pack on a Romulan you get both the Romulan Borg and your faction version as well (both BTC).

    Hmm...can you confirm, for definitely sure, that you got the Lib Reman boff with it? If so, then that might be worth it, even though it would only be for one of my 3 Roms...

    Is there a place on the Arc website to enter the code?

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/redeem
    I would think this would work.
    My problem atm is in Creating a Steam account; their Account Creation page just, does nothing. I'll try another browser, but it should not just sit there. My main browser is IE11.

    edit/update: So it worked in Microsoft Edge, and I believe it would work in Chrome and Firefox. When I got my code I was able to use the arc url above to redeem it. Successfully.

    I never use IE except to download Firefox. It just works better and it doesn't send your data to some megacorporation.

    it doesn't work better for humblebundle; their whole site is TRIBBLE-up and unusable on firefox - i had to use edge to claim the amnesia bundle they were giving away a few months ago, and again for the STO thing​​

    I dumped Firefox because I was sick of waiting for it to open. Seriously, how many software updates does one product need to do? Every time I open Firefox it installs an update.. I was just sick of waiting for it.

    I recently switched to Opera and it's pretty great. It's light, fast, has a build in free VPN to keep you anonymous, and you can use Chrome plugins.

    I'm also wondering about this 'Romulan Engineer'...there are only a few other Romulan/Reman Lib Borg Boffs to be had, but they are Sci/Intel, Sci (this is the Lobi store one), Reman Tac/Intel, or Reman Tac...there *is* listed on the Wiki a 'Romulan Borg Eng/Intel', but she's not really a Borg, according to their info. The Intel ones, though, are part of the Delta Operations pack, so it's unlikely to be any of those, I'd think.

    I guess, it being free to be had, could just claim one and find out...but it being once per account only (why can't the Boff(s) be per character?), it puts me off from deciding which of my 3 Roms would get it lol

    As to which 'Rom Eng' is in this bundle: found some Reddit posts about it, and it seems it's a unique one, not apparently found elsewhere...shame it's 'once per account', then.

    I'm wondering if this BOff was programmed into the game for LoR and is only available due to a glitch. Why? Because the Humble Bundle description says that it only gives ONE officer, but on a RR character you get TWO. An allied faction BOff, and a Romulan one. Also it's a Romulan FACTION boff and not like the embassy boffs where it's the Romulan species, but some other faction. Oh and the costume looks like she's a Romulan refugee... yes really.

    UUgh. If I'd have known Romulans got two I'd have opened it on a Romulan. They already get one extra Borg BOFF in the first place. I could have had an away team of Borg.​​

    I suspect you're correct, based on your Wiki article stating she has the exact same traits and skills as the pre-order KDF/Fed one. It's looking like they intended to have a Romulan 'faction' one available to Romulan characters, but (perhaps like the Doff recruit reward) they scrapped it in favor of only have the two...I second your sentiment of wanting it on all Rom characters!

    They do have a faction-specific one already, the Liberated Borg Reman Tactical Officer. He may be part of the Legacy Pack, but he's also available in the C-Store, just like the Liberated Borg Officers for both other factions from back then. They gave Romulans something different in the end, but maybe this one is a leftover from an earlier stage of development where they were just going to give them the same exact option as the other factions, but with a faction-specific skin.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    Yeah, my personal suspicion is that the original plan was for Rom players to NOT use the Human or Klingon ones and get this lady instead.

    Too bad they didn't mess up like that when they didn't make the Romulan Maintenance Engineer T'Ress availible from Commander Rojal during that Junior Officer Appreciation Weekend a few years ago. Could have had her and Exocomp. :(

    My main Rom that was created at that time still has the mission in her log, and will never intentionally remove it, as a silent protest that they didn't follow through with what they posted (yes, it was posted that Roms would get their own version at the time). Copping out and just offering the faction-based one is still BS to me...

    I really didn't get that, it's a unique doff with a unique picture, but they decided to make it unobtainable at the last second. As for possible balance concerns... it's not that good.

    Based on what I gathered at the time, I'm convinced it boiled down to the fact that someone just flat forgot to add Rojal to the game during that weekend (based on a dev stating it was a bug, they would look into it, and would add them in asap)...or, based on the backtracking after the weekend was over (stating that going forward, Roms would get the faction-specific Exocomp for Fed, or Kazan for KDF), they flat forgot to even create them in the first place...

    Anyway, back on track: has anyone with a Rom that already has the faction-specific Lib Borg commisioned tried to claim this pack? I know someone said that if you do have them alread, you don't get that one, but I'm wondering if it blocks getting the Romulan Faction one, as well (this would inform which of my 3 I'd claim it on)...

    Mmm.... the missions rewards had T'Ress's picture and doff stats. So yes, they did actually create the doff.

    No, I meant Rojal, the person you were supposed to speak to at New Romulus Command, to get the doff.
    When I got the pack it gave me TWO Borg Boffs… I didn't have room to try commissioning both though.

    I meant I was wondering if anyone had the regular faction boff already commisioned...kinda want to put her on my main, but that character (and my Reman, actually) has that one already commisioned, and I've seen reports in this thread stating that you wouldn't get another...was wondering if that would also block getting the Romulan version, as well.
