Caitian Intel Bridge Officer? Why no Borg, Aenar or Cross-faction?

With the release of DR we can all now get us some Caitian Intel Bridge officers. So if we can wait till Levl 50 we don´t have to buy them anymore and save some ZEN

but why only CAitians? Would it not be the perfect timimg to give us some other Races than the Normal TRill, Tellarite, Andorian and so on?

Why not some Aenar Intel officers (if the Caitians are for "free" now they should be too) or Borg, Liberated or cooperative. Or finalyl some Cross-Faction BOffs like Remans, Orions, Gorn for Feds and Trill, Tellarites and Andorians for Klingons (and for Romulans allied with either side)

Obviously it is no problem to have defected Jem`Hadar, Breen, Voth or Hierarchy officers on your bridge.

    There is already a :Liberated Borg Romulan Intel Bridge Officer for the Romulan Republic. It is one of the Bridge Officers that players received for getting the Delta Quadrant Ops Pack. Probably has to do with the fact that Romulans have only 2 races to pick from so they had to go with Liberated Borg for the third.

    Frankly, I see the new Caitian Intel BOffs for...200 Dil (yes, seriously) on the BOff 'vendor' (under Intel) to be a bug.

    I mean, they normally cost 500 Zen. Each. And now you can get them for 2 Zen (based on conversion rates)? Yeah...that's an issue.

    i dont think its a bug.

    the quality of the BOff isn't purple its actually common.

    True, but the differences in non SRO BOffs going from white to purple is minimal at best.

    Would be quite fitting to see that given that the war is supposed to be "over" and given that they are only common anyway I don't really see the harm in it.

    Because Caitians are better.

    JK.


    Probably because Caitians fit the "stealthy" approach more than some of the other species.

    Caitian intel boff is imho useless for anything except show. It's a white boff and it does not have any space trait. So for space you want to choose white human intel boff instead for the leadership trait and for ground you want to avoid all these white boffs all together. You want purple boffs with superior traits.

    The devs revealed that we're gonna be able to convert BOFFs to hybrid specialization BOFFs eventually.

    You know that devs revealed years ago that we[re gonna be able to convert our First Officer BOff to captain and fly with second ship from our hangar as NPC support? And where is it?
    As long as mentioned mechanic doesn't hit live it's only devs empty promises which can change every hour.

    Well they certainly have some strange personal lives if they think the Atrox is a giant space-TRIBBLE, that's for sure. Especially since it has some rather prominent backwards facing spikes on the front.

    Nice cherry picking. You know as well as I do that the devs actually gave us a great deal of things that they told us they want to do. Besides, the example you cherry-picked is sort of an ultimate goal for them, and they'd rather be releasing much more important things.

    Can you demonstrate that they explicitly said that they "promise" it to us?

    Do you remember such things as "Ask Cryptic" or "Engineering report"/"State of the game"? It's where it was promised by Dan Sthal and later by Rivera and than again by Sthal.

    Want more? Ok from almost day one they promise us new PvP engine, and all we get by 4 years are two new maps and P2W.

    "Fixed" bugs returning with every major patch, some of them aren't even fixed from the beginning.

    Craft lottery...aw sorry it's called R&D, put online in alpha stage (not even beta) which as Rivera said they will keep working on. And yeah they work on it. it stays same way for half a year.

    Private chat channels bugged, they said it's investigated and even fixed... 2,5 year later I still can't unmute people.

    I have no adequate rebuttal, and must concede.

    What annoys me is the fact I can't get Ferasans for basically free KDF side, since Fed can get Caitains for free. ( 400 dil is pretty much free imo. )

    I mean srsly. Let me have my full team of ferasans for my away team.

    I guarantee a list of things the devs promised that actually have happened would be considerably longer.
