have a look at the traits, there are some differences... very rare have 2 "superior" traits, rare only 1 superior trait, for example. There are also some abilities you can only get from very rare Boffs, "Reverse Shield Polarity III", for example. I don't know any other way to get it.

Also, uncommon have 1 'Basic' (as in weaker then normal) Trait while common will have 2 'Basic' Traits...
I have found that "TRAITS" are more important than SKILLS.
When starting out (and I am grooming this discussiuon for people starting without money),
(1) do NOT spend any BO points yet.
(2) go out into the patrol and do some huning.. you want to land maybe 1000-2000 in market E-credits. When you have this much gear (a shield or two, or an engine or two, or ??? ) go back and sell them.
(3) Now go to the exchange and buy some BLUE (Rare) bridge officers. I have found them for as chiep as 1 E-c, and I find good ones for less than 500 each every day... Purple is overrated. dump your existing, and set up your 4-man "Blue Crew", and now your set.

Like common has like "Basic Luck" while a very rare would have "Superior Luck".
(just an example...)
And the more rare ones have rare abilites like Viral Matrix III.
