Klingon infiltrator

The Klink recruit superior infiltrator bridge officer is fantastic. Finally we can have proper cloaking KDF ambush bonuses. It has stung for many years that the romulan cloak ambush was so much better with the extra 10s of bonus dmg.

However why is this not an account unlock reward ? I have many old KDF toons that feel even more useless now that KDF recruits have access to a sup inf trait.

Cryptic please consider adding this as an account unlock. I understand not unlocking it account wise early in the chain... everyone would be happy if it was an ultimate unlock on one of the longest grind rewards. I am willing to play a recruit out... but I would be thankful if I could take my 11 year old KDF toons out and not feel stupid for flying them in raiders. Clearly you guys understand how powerful the trait is having put it on a pretty early KDF recruit reward, give the old vet toons access as well please :)

    I was disappointed as well that it’s not acc wide reward and that the boff downgrades to blue when opening.

    At least she is superb for the recruitment task. CD time of my battle cloak is 15 seconds so as long as the boff does her thing.

    Getting the 2,5 k ambush kills was child’s play in the opening section of home as I had a perfect timer for using the cloaking device and making the most of it then.

    Ya I was excited at first when I saw the reward on my recruit. Got all excited and logged into my proper Klinks... and realized after going through all the account rewards that they where still screwed. All my old klinks are still basically garbage. Romulans still make better raider flyers.... and feds still have more stuffs for everything else.

    All my KDF have been for 7 or 8 years now are dil farmers... even when it comes to old fun like Kerrat, still go and fly a KDF aligned Rom. I was super excited cause I thought I could at last dust off my old PvP leveled Klink toons. But nope they still blow. And cryptic is still missing out on a massive opportunity to sell stuff. I would actually spend time kitting out and min maxing a handful of my old KDF toons if I knew I could put a Sup Inf boff on them to make them = (or at least mostly) = to my KDF roms. Instead they can continue to languish in digital grethor... only being spun up for dil weekends, and perhaps to run a few Adm/doff missions here and there.

    Cryptic missed a huge opportunity on this one.... I will now roll exactly one KDF recruit, and may or may not bother gearing it up. So much for the glorious return of my season one PvP klinks. lol

    Nice suggestion for that Home mission for the Ambush kills.

    I still appreciate her but was disappointed too when it down-graded to Rare.

    Having a end-goal of having her be account-wide would've been great for all KDF toons, I wonder why Cryptic decided against benefitting players in that way?

    A side-note is that I'm beginning to really like the M'Chla Refit skin though I have it on my fleet M'Chla since it had the better stats.

    iirc, the melee weap is account unlock, and maybe a small few other things. i am ok with the doff/boff being toon locked.

    Just means all the old KDF toons people have in storage will stay there. Cryptic left a lot of money on the table. Not something they normally do. All well.... saves me a bunch of time. They almost got me back burning time and probably money in STO again.

    My main since I started the game is a Gorn KDF. Nothing fancy, no recruit or anything, just a regular old Gorn. Is that going to change because my KlingRec has a beter BOff? No. But would I really like that BOff to be made available to my main? Absolutely, even if I may or may not ever actually use it.
