New Trait System and Bridge Officers

I don't know if this came up for discussion before.

With the new (re-)trait system introduced with LoR we can now customize the traits and are more flexible with adjusting our captains.
Would it be possible to extend this system to Bridge Officers in order to give them more value and flexibility?

1) This would solve various inconveniences which are present at the moment.
For example the poor distribution of the...
..."Efficient" trait for Saurians (FED) and Letheans (KDF) and no race for (ROM) BOffs.
..."Leadership" trait only present for Federation BoFFs and "Warrior" trait
and so on...


2) The forced mix-matching of a crew and the resulting overall underperformace/effectiveness of a single race crew.

Giving us the ability to customize and re-trait our BOffs would indeed add even more flexibility and player convenient set-ups. ... of course certain species trait restrictions could also apply here as well -like the ones for Captains (e.g. Cold Blooded for Andorians etc.)

    Eh, You can use BOffs from your secondary faction.
    So your SF Romulian can have Saurians and/or Humans

    If fact, my Federation Romulian has both the Reman Lib Borg and the Federation Lib Borg.

    I know. What I meant was that it would be nice to have an all Human crew with Efficient for example instead being forced to go for having an all Saurian crew.

    As a Klingon Captain I really would like to have a full Klingon crew. I can have it yes, but it will result in an underperformance compared to having a full Lethean crew, for example.

    Space traits and Ground traits are two horses of a different color, like comparing apples to oranges. At lvl50 you have 10 BO slots, so make 5 Space BO's that have the very rare space treat of your faction, and make 5 ground BO's that have ground traits that complement your captains class, role and skill build.

    i dont see how the trait system is flexible when for example you only tend to do space missions (like me) so pick all the space traits, problem is if you pick them all, erm thats it, theres no more, so no actual choice or variety, you just pick what rubbish was there and thats the end of that.

    its a bit boring tbh.
