Tovan Khev Needs to Be Dismissable

He's taking up a bridge officer slot that could be better put to use with higher quality officers. I just added a couple of very rare BOs to my crew and needed to free up some slots. Tovan was one of the odd-men out but I was forced to discharge an officer I didn't want to because we're stuck with him. This is not acceptable at all.

There are already issues, like people having other officers stand in for Toven when you change him from first place on ground and space slots.
Ok his superior is in Soldier and stubborn, and with Plasma weapon spec He could be a fantastic tactical ground boff.
Anyway he has Romulan Operative with is a good space trait and the only improve i can see is if you have a veteran or infiltrator space boff who also has operative.
Anyway Toven is my go to ground tac officer.
That's a shame, because he's just so damn pretty.
I like him
this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 100x this^^^^^^^^^
system Lord Baal is dead
and on a reman crew he is just plain ugly
Would have been money if Wil Wheaton voiced him. :eek:
I also agree that a Will Wheaton voice over for the character would be awesome.
It's supposed to be my story. The Romulan story plays out more or less like the story of Tovan Khev, the whiny Luke Skywalker-esque farmboy from a backwater planet who has no redeeming qualities.
Romulan Praetorian Guard
Also Tovan Khev has less to do with Wesley Crusher than Janeway with Chekov....

His traits range from meh to useless if you plan on flying something like a Galor, Orbcaster, or JHAS. His traits are not fully retrainable. If your intention is to play a Reman with a Reman crew, he does not fit in. His race is not fully retrainable. Both of these points have been mentioned in this thread. His skills have never once been mentioned as a reason to dispose of him.
I'm going to kindly suggest that you learn at some point that people will not play the game the same way as you and that you approach suggestions more maturely in the future.=
Awww, you have enough money to buy a lock box ship, but not enough for another bridge officer slot.:rolleyes: Not mentioning that he has mostly ground traits.
No BO has retrainable traits.
There are no retrainable races in this game, thank the Elements. And how horrible. There has to be at least one Romulan on a Romulan Republic Warbird. Terrible.:rolleyes: Still beats the only canon Reman warbird we ever saw. The one that had a human captain. Tovan Khev and his sister are part of the Romulan storyline. Live with it.
Yeah, that was in the tribble forums where some people spread the rumour that his skills couldn't be retrained.
Immature are people who complain without end about getting something awesome for free. Reminds me of the facebook posts people made about having the worst Christmas ever. Because their parents got them the newest iPhone in white instead of black.

So you understand why your "fully retrainable" point was useless. Good, we're making progress. Now lets see if you can drum up something mature to say.
You realize that storyline ends right? Not even at level 50, by level 35 I was done with Tovan Khev and his sister. Maybe you haven't gotten that far yet. A declaration that it's reasonable to accept permanent restrictions for finite story is not mature.
Nope, I'm sorry, a mini-rant about Iphones is neither on topic, interesting, or mature. Oh well, we have some lovely parting gifts for you, please see the nice lady on your way out.
Tovan Khev is great in away teams, and you can train him in the skills to perform perfecty in any ship unless you are completely crazy about space traits, then he needs a cloak.
Aww, you changed the answer while I was replying. It's a shame that you are unable to understand a comparison with other unjustified whining. But still, here this is for you. Now stop complaining and act like the mature person you claim to be.

the engi BOFF we get while lvling has a nice trait too !
Yeah there are issues with the story when you dont have him. I was helping out a member of my fleet with the elatchi, the thing is I'm a fed with a female first officer. Lets just say i was almost in tears whenever 'she' said something :')
Pointing out another persons supposed immaturity is hardly a sign of maturity, and a lame way to try to win an argument at best.
Just saying.

What would be nice is if we could have the ability to do the voice acting work for all of our BOFFs, as well as limited "foundry"-like personal tweaking of the mission text. Then the missions requiring Khev could possibly have his parts be substituted for our custom BOFFs. In a perfect world(no, not that Perfect World), we could. But that isn't the case here. And probably won't be the case for a long, long while. I'm talking decades, if STO even survives that long.
I'm just glad I never made a Romulan-faction character so I wouldn't have to deal with Khev. Good luck to those of you that have.

and everyone has him
Secondly if will wheaton is going to do a voice over he should play the Mirror universe Wesley
come to destroy us all with his "ultimate doom" weapon
We get assigned (in a 6 episode FE series) to help science officer Cooper (sheldon to his friends) defeat his arch nemesis with advanced theoretical techno babble and the very best eye brow raising
However I do think that Cryptic need to take another pass at how the game handles him. Adding another BO slot for him would be a good start, along with fixing the bugs that cause other characters to appear in his dialogue window. I'd also like to see a way to move him off the bridge and to another ship interior location (such as the bar or the captain's quarters for those thatway inclined
While there's no way to divorce him from the storyline of the Romulan Republic, by doing this it should help mitigate the annoyance some people feel towards him. He'd end up being that annoying tagalong friend that noone ever manages to get rid of.
On another note, I am SO going to rue the day I have to swap out Veril for a better quality boff. Have to admit that I have a soft spot for my little Reman "Kaylee".
also yes it would be nice to be able to discharge him.
If you are willing to buy a BO from the C-Store you only strengthen my point that you could also simply buy two BO slots. Fact is that every Romulan gets a free decent purple quality BO with a good background story and voice overs. They don't have to pay in the C-Store, on the exchange, be a veteran or anything else, they just have to play the game to get him. If you don't like him, tough luck.
Federation characters get a green quality BO in their tutorial, then the first others they get are WHITE. Romulans start with a PURPLE and get a bunch of decent green ones and people really think that they should get FREE ADDITIONAL BO SLOTS for suffering so horribly?:eek:
This is something I wanted for years long before Tovan Khev was even a thought. I want to have all my BOs visible in my interior even when I choose a small bridge. Unfortunately I was the only one.
One day I'm going to look if I can copy other Veril's look on other female Remans (well, aside from her unique costume options), then I will look for a purple Reman female engineer with the appropriate traits, copy the look over, delete the old Veril and rename the new one.
I think they made the perfect compromise. They could have made you stick with Veril and the search for her father too, they could have given you a complete TOR-like crew. They didn't. They occupied one of your BO slots with a decent mandatory BO. And he's no Malavai Quinn or Khem Val.
"Lose" a free BO slot, get a free BO.
Eh, nope, it's about Romulans not random aliens from the space of the former Romulan Star Empire. Cryptic almost would have denied access to the alien creator to silver players to keep their numbers low, would have been stupid if one of the main NPCs is one.
