It's cool your adding new traits to the Voth Boff but really people want more boffs with space traits.
Please look into the current boffs and add more space traits to all the races.

Yes, the embassy Romulans should be customizable.
And speaking of Romulans, why is it that Romulans can use all Fed/KDF boffs they get their hands on but Fed/KDF can't use Romulan boffs except the special ones in the embassy? Bit one-way this alliance of theirs.
Have certain traits still exclusively for certain species (no corrosive blood on a human, for example), but add a few more common traits and let us choose the traits we want our boffs to have.
Romulans became subspecies of 2 major factions so I don't think this is one-way alliance. I had a lot of missions where they ordered my reman to do some stuff for kdf. If they give me orders like that, I wouldn't be surprised if the install few klingons on my bridge, just to give them reports
^^^^ This! I completely agree!

Diversity of crew would be awesome but with how it is right now that is not possible if you want to do the best you can.
The leadership trait is a sad shadow of its former self. The only thing it does well now is protect you from system disables.
Not so sure of this. It was also about finding your niche and doing what you're good at, which presupposes some people are good at things......and there may be a racial bias to such things.
I do think that we have a situation where the good space traits have been concentrated into a small number of races. This had lead to cookie cutter, min max bridge builds and thats a bad thing, imo.
Every race needs a power or a trait to give it its character.
Gorn need their bite. Liberated borg ned their nanoblast thingy.
Vulcans need their, canon, strength and Andorians their resistence to cold.
However, I'd give each boff another power or trait depending on quality.
Common get nothing except the basic racial trait.
Uncommon get one more trait from a pool for each race. The pool will contain some space and ground traits, and one or two racial specific ones.
Rare get two traits and very rare three.
The fun part comes in when cryptic get to sell respec tokens for boffs.
Say, 300 zen, and you get to choose the traits for one boff on one toon.
You're stuck with the racial one, but you get to choose the other three if its a purple boff.
You can even choose the same trait three times to stack.
So, we keep the increments relatively small to preserve balance.
We could end up with a toon with, say, 5% resistence across three types of damage, or 15% aginst one.
Or a 5% boost to hull healing and a 10% resistence to all energy weapon damage on the ground.
So, if we went with my modular approach to traits, you could simply give a couple of percent more to resistence and defence traits than DPS. Say +4% to damage or +5% to resistence.
So, choose three DPS traits and get +12% damage with something, or use those three slots for resistence and get +15%.
Means the arms race is skewed towards defence, and should result in more varied builds as people look for the sweet spot.
Agreed,
Romulans can have their own private command center and still have access to their allies star bases and their own Bridge Officers has well has their Allies :eek:
Cryptic should add projects to the Romulan Reputation system that once completed allows the KDF and Federation access to the Romulan Command Center and the Ability to recruit and commission Romulan Bridge Officers and Duty Officers.
It's only Fair
What, having access to experimental plasma weaponry, shield systems, and even singularity technology isn't enough for you guys? :P
