Is there a difference between Gorn blue and purple boffs?

Hi there!


I'm slowly completing my KDF bridge crew and I was wondering: is there a difference between blue/rare and purple/very rare Gorn bridge officers?

Looking on the Exchange, they all seem to have the same 3 first passives: Basic Reptilian Strength, Resilient and Cold Blooded, with the 4th passive being a superior ability.
Is there maybe a different advantage for purple Gorn boffs (stats/HP?), or are they basically the same as blue ones?


Thanks in advance. :)

    The only difference rarity makes is in traits and rare abilities.

    However 'racial' traits (like Leadership and Teamwork for humans) are fixed and not affected by rarity afaik...

    gorn have 3 racial traits so... the only difference is going to be in rare powers they get.

    Just to confirm: with powers do you mean the skills you can train them in/ spend officer points on? So they might get (more) rare skills if they're purple?

    Or do you mean the 4th passive ability/non-fixed trait?
    (So far I haven't really seen a difference between blue and purple there yet; they're superior abilities both on blue and purple gorn boffs and I haven't spotted a different rarer one there yet.)

    powers/abilities = the trainable skills. traits = their passive traits.

    purple can have more Superior traits but since gorn only have one slot to be superior in...

    OK, thank you for the answers, Deadly Shoe! ^_^ If the only difference is going to be in rare trainable skills they might have, I'll just go on and enlist a blue Gorn now and maybe train it up later. :)

    Not sure if it applies to BOFF or not but there was a chart (don't ask me where) in the forums that showed the extra skill levels of white, green, blue, and purple ship equipment. It was not a lot maybe +2 per each level.

    Thank you for your reply, Aoav160! :)

    I don't think think this applies to boffs though. I just enlisted a blue Klingon engineer to compare with my starter white Klingon Engineer, and the stats (Health) seemed the same.
