Diplomacy/Marauding boffs

With all the episode reward boffs we're getting that have better traits than normal I'm wondering if the Diplomacy/Marauding boffs are even any use anymore aside from just to say you have one. I mean, obviously the Human boff is good for KDF because it's the only way they can get a boff with Leadership and the Nausicaan was good for Fed because of Pirate, but that's now been overshadowed by the Hierarchy boff from the Vaadwaur episodes.
Hell, I'm OCD about boff collecting and even I have several that I used to use frequently that are now just sitting around doing nothing but taking up a spot in my roster, and I even have a character that hasn't picked his diplo boff yet. Hell.....now that I think about it I'd probably even be willing to sell that one, and I never get rid of boffs.

Can't help you but, I know how you feel if that helps, I have 5 main characters I play. FED Tac, FED Eng, FED Sci, Klingon Tac and REMAN Tac and I have 500 very rare doffs on each of them. Thats right, you read that correctly. So when ever I get very rare doffs. Like the special ones you get from Delta Rising Ship Pack or a Very rare one from events. It drives me looney tunes trying to figure out what I need, don't need, have to many of or just something I got thats rare. Remember the Very rare borg doffs you needed to get a very rare crit from doing the Artifact mission. I have 25 of those with all 4 traits. TRUST ME, I know your pain.
Yeah okay, the Federation gets a much better deal ... the Pirat Trait (+1,5 % dmg)
is far more superior that the "leadership" (Hull Repair)
IF you ask me the Federation is in need for more Nausican Bridge Officers
especially in times of War with the Iconians :-P
If you want peak performance from your Ship, every possible Slot has to be filled with the right tools
Tactical Slot (2 to 3) -- Fleet Embassy -- Sup. Romulan Operativ -- Crit Hit / Crit Dmg
Engineering Solt (1 to 2) -- Diplo Rank 4 -- Nausican Pirat + (filler) Saurian / Borg - "Efficent"
Science Slot (1 to 2) -- Hierachy (Efficent + Pirat) + (filler) Saurian
I would like to Replace all my Saurian's with Nausican Bridge Officers like my Friends
did it in the Past ... i miss the BO trading ...
But I guess it wouldm't be so so bad If a Klingon would be able to get more "leadership" BO either ... i never try'd to build a Tank with all ressources posslbe ...
I would like to see, [ maybe though to theUpgrades System ...]
Superior Leadership
Superior Pirat
Superior Efficient
Superior Space Warfare Specialist - [unknown to most Players]
+Starship Maneuvers
+Starship Targeting Systems
+Starship Energy Weapon Specialization
+Projectile Weapon Specialization
Don't know about guaranteed, but Letheans are pretty creative.
Oh, you must mean the Diplomacy officers. Apologies.
I've been told by multiple people that traits no longer stack, otherwise I'd have gone with a couple more Nausicaans.
That does remind me though, Romulan characters get D'Vex for free as part of the storyline. Sure he only has basic Space Warfare Specialist and basic Veteran but that's a hell of a thing to get for free when the only other way to get those traits are on the veteran boffs that are no longer available.
Now I have a Talaxian, two Borg, a Hierarchy dude, a Klingon, an android, and a Romulan BOff from the NR Embassy. Given I always wanted my Captain to specialize in Diplomacy, I'm happy with this. ^_^ IDIC, yo.
If creative is a guaranteed trait or a very common trait on any of the regular boff races, there's no value in getting it from a t4 diplo boff.
Though you raise a good point; I'm not even sure creative appears on any of the KDF t4 marauding reward boffs.
Yeah, my first diplo boff was a Gorn engineer and I gave him a Lirpa along with Mine Barrier 3, it's hilarious watching him run up to a group of enemies and drop mines under their feet.
I think my current boff roster is 3 Humans, 2 Photonics, 2 Borg (drone+lib), a Breen, a Jem'Hadar, a Heirarchy, a Voth, a Kobali, a Gorn, a Nausicaan, 2 Orions (one male one female), and that episode reward Reman.
IDIC, indeed.
