Intelligence Bridge Officer ... Feedback

I've only just started tinkering with the IOs ground abilities... so far, I am liking what I see...
I would, however.. request, beg, and plead that:
1. "Alien" would be added before launch, for ALL FACTIONS
2. Pleasepleaseplease.. let Romulans get ROMULAN IOs for Romulus Command. It makes absolutely no sense that a Romulan would need Federation or Klingon "Intelligence" .. They're sneaky enough to be able to do it on their own!! (And, do not think that absolves the need for Romulan-Alien IO's either)
Please?? Please tell me this is going to be worked in before DR launches in the next two weeks...

Seconded! (why the hell don't we have alien RR officers anyway?) Species selection seems rather slap-dash at the moment and I hope that what we end up with is merely an intelligence option for ALL species recruitment options (including c-store.)
As for 2, I doubt that what we have to put up with on tribble is the intended final state of officer selection. Ie. there will be Romulan IO's (I believe they're just broken on the current build.)

As for alien intel boff's that's fine but for me at least If we can't get romulan or reman Intel boff's without the prefered space traits . then I do not see myself using too much of them. I would like to think I'm not in the minority population amoung the Romulan player base with this.
Did you check at New Romulus Command? Were they not there?
As for adding additional species... we'll see. It's a not-insignificant amount of additional work to set up more species for each faction.

No they weren't there. I checked this weekend with a KDF aligned romulan alien and the only options available at the NR Command boff contact were the standard varieties.

on rom characters especially these intel boffs are a concern. because on my rom, i went to the trouble of acquiring an all superior infiltrator/operative crew, a very large part of what makes rom characters so good is slotting 5 of these boffs. displacing any of those so i could slot intel powers on intel ships, is very far from ideal, deal breaker territory.
this is one of those things hinging on whether i buy that operations pack. will those purple quality intel boffs that come with it, for romulan captains, come with superior infiltrator/operative traits?
I've got to agree with this Poster. I'm in the same boat, boff and doff wise. I spent a long while working on the character, the ships and crews.
New Romulus Command does not have any Intel boff options. Nor did the romulan flotilla have intel boff's . Just the standerd ones.
Thanks Bort for looking into this further . cheers .
for quite a while now the fed and kdf have been in need of boffs as good as rom characters get, well this at least would be a way to help even the score a bit between the faction. giving folks that support cryptic enough to buy the operation pack 3 of these intel boffs with these desirable traits would be nearly as big an incentive as all the ship, for getting the pack to me.
the 3 boffs should consist of 2 op/sub and 1 inf/sub ideally.
These patch notes Tribble 09-30-2014 show that there was obviously a lot of effort put into the IOff's abilities in this patch, but before this patch, I had no control over their Ground Intelligence Abilities, but the combat log clearly showed they were using them, and yet these patch notes do not state that as having been changed at all.
They're not beside their lifebar things, they can't be slotted into the Powers Tray, but they can decide when to use them, and on whom?
I get that they're INTELLIGENCE Officers, but if they're going to be on my Admiral's team, and go where he says, and behave how he says, why shouldn't my Admiral be able to give them other orders such as "Hit this thing with the EMP"?
I'm lost...HOW does that make sense?
I know someone else already replied with an answer, but to confirm... No they are not available.
Romulan BOff Vendor, New Romulus Command
I would also like to illustrate that both the KDF and the Federation already have access to Alien/Unknown Bridge Officers. :
Federation BOff Vendor, ESD
Klingon BOff Vendor, Qo'noS
I understand it may not be "easy" work... but it would only be for one faction; and would also make for a huge boon to the QoL of a Romulan Faction player... at least, this one anyway.

I've double-checked the internal data. Looks like New Romulus Command was still disabled from earlier testing, but there should be a store on the Romulan Republic Flotilla that sells Romulan and Reman Intel Boffs.
We'll get the one at New Rom Command turned back on in a future patch.
