Need more Int officers before Intrepid!

edited November 2014 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
We need more Int officers before Intrepid! Specifically Int/Tac and Int/Eng *as you are given a decent Int/Sci* - My T6 has no Int/Sci slot :(

Even if you have to stick them on the Zen store, I am Lev 60 - I don't want a 'common' bridge officer for my nice new T6 ship...

Imho they should have been released at the start of DR when they were parading their new T6 Intel ships... :confused:

*Yes, I know we can get a Talaxian but his space skills leave a lot to be desired.*

    I totally agree, we need intel Boffs. There is a critical lack of Intel Boffs white rarity is unacceptable. Even the blue one just isn't sufficient. You won't see broad acceptance of Intel powers until we have some decent Boffs to put them on. Put up some purple ones in a box or up on the cstore they are guaranteed to be the hot seller for the holidays.

    Ok I have to ask the obvious question.

    Who cares.

    The white intel human boffs have the human space trait.... any skills worth having in space or ground are going to be captain trained.

    You have plenty of space to take full traited ground boffs along for any adventures you go on.

    I am sorry I don't really get what the big deal is. lol

    Having said that if you really really have to have a colour difference even though it makes zero difference to anything at all. You can always pick up a Telaxian from the lobi store.

    PS... would it make you feel better if Cryptic just changed the colour on the boffs from the trainer (changing nothing on them) and charge a bit more D for them to boot ? lol

    You can buy VR Intel Boffs from the boff trainer.

    Why are you even considering common?

    If you don't think Space traits matter go back to your 2k dps Miranda and have fun in Klingon Space...The Human Leadership trait is only better than the Talaxian trait.:rolleyes: While you are right, the best skills are CPT trained, Space Traits are huge and Stack. Feds have no Engineer Intel Boffs better than common with a space trait.

    Maybe to pre-customize a certain race, save it, then use it until they get a VR version they can just load the customized save to and rename them?

    I guess? I know I did that with T'Vrell and the Fed Klingon that was a reward Boff.

    What's the difference between Common and Very Rare boffs???

    NOTHING!

    Skills are trainable on any.

    Traits come on all sorts and those are more important while rarity isnt.
    That's where you're wrong. It's the Traits that some value. Very Rare Boffs get 2 Superior Traits that notably affect how well they perform (mainly on the ground, but Superior Romulan Operative is a much-valued space trait, for example).

    I am well aware of what space traits do... and as a fed your not going to get anything good on an intel boff ever anyway. So who cares. To be honest no the passives on the boffs really don't mean to much unless your talking about a ton of stacked romulan crit.

    Efficent is pointless... pirate is pretty much the same.

    For PvP human leadership is in fact quite good... for pve nothing matters outside of Rom boffs... and on the intrepid you can still slot one from the embassy. The Rom engi embassy boff for the fed gives +defense... which isn't really all that needed anymore if your slotting the fed ship traits.

    Honestly at the end of the day that one engi ... putting a leadership boff in there is as good as it gets. Unless you are saying Cryptic should throw some crazy passive intel boffs into a box or something. Cause you know we need more buffs. :)

    I mean my scryer can only hit 70k DPS right now... perhaps your right lets get some boffs with 4 space traits... ;)

    So, there is no difference between Romulan operative and Superior Romulan operative?

    My crew of Superior Romulan operatives beg to differ ...

    Cryptic should sell more OP super Intel Boffs in the C-Store. Exclusive Ultra-Rare quality with 3 Superior Space traits, including a Superior Leadership trait. Then package a set of 2 Epic Intel Boffs with 4 Superior Space Traits with each T6 3-Ship bundles (gotta sell T6 Odysseys, Vestas, Scimitars, etc somehow); the Epic Boffs class' meant to perfectly accompany the stations of the T6s they're bundled with.

    I'd love to be able to have that potato dude as a repeatable reward. I can see the peeps in my fleet now, beaming down , with the Sontarian Army!

    I know, it's not gonna happen.

    To be honest, I would have been happy if the free Boff you get you could have chosen whether you wanted him Tac/Sci or Eng... rather then just parcelling him off as a Intel/Sci ...

    'Your T6 not have a Intel/Sci slot? well then you're sol' ...

    Part of it is also immersion... I an a fleet admiral with a top of the line ship, so I want a top crew to pilot it...
    Not 4 top crew and some guy fresh from the academy :rolleyes:

    Then your not worried about flying an intrepid. lol ;)

    OP is concerned about his engi / intel slot on his intrepid.

    As far as roms having to slot intel officers and give up some Supeiror rom bs traits... no one is going to cry about that. Yes i have plenty of rom toons.... the rom boffs where one of the worst mistakes Cryptic has made the last few years.

    Yeah, I am the op ' At least I think I am' :eek:

    I was talking about my shiny new Fahet with a commander Int/Tac slot ... and NO Int/Sci slot (making the freebie Boff a ground use item only).

    If they released a Boff pack in the Zen store, i'd buy :) and as I said, with release of the T6 ships... Releasing Intel Boffs should have been a priority...

    Large oversight...

    yeah i have noticed this with almost all the intel T6's with the exception of the scryer phantom and the qib i think are the only 3 INTL T6's with a itel sci hybrid seating? otherwise seems the Nonintell T6's have them which makes my potatoe man sci intell boff from the mission a waste on my rom unless i pick up the Aelahl Light Warbird Battlecruiser.

    Actually the Pirate trait is quite decent..it's a 1.5% boost to final damage and has a boost to stealth detection which should be good for certain builds. It still isn't SRO but ain't bad and what I use in my Battlecruiser Eng Seat.

    I don't mind all of the traits and think they are ok. The only problems I see are that they stack and all factions do not have unhindered access to all space traits. The other issue is that Unique BoFFs of a different career that their CPT can't get CPT abilities trained trained to them.

    It's the thread title and the original post...all suggesting the OP is a Fed player that knows nothing about Fed Space Traits...and thus the replies Hus has been offering. The OP eventually stating that he's talking about the Faeht...might have been helpful to have mentioned from the start.

    They did release Intel Boffs; but VR ones are Delta pack and Lobi only, IIRC. Mission reward one is Rare Sci, and Boff pimps sell regular Common Boffs.

    No clue as to any other Intel Boff sources or rarity.
