Why hello there,
I am thinking Cryptic should release the android race for the Federation and for the Romulans. Reason being is you have one of the most iconic characters such as Data and Lt. Gaius. Andriods so come with perks based on Starships, repairs, Warp Core, Scans and etc.
As you all know, the more the merrier.

End of I'm afraid.
Redemption pt 2
Lieutenant Commander Hobson would like a word with you.
Regarding STO, i was a bit disappointed that we didn't got a Pralor or Cravic Automated Personnel Unit as BOFF.
Even a much less advanced robotic unit would be nice to have as BOFF imo.
I'd agree with you on this, as even though TNG has shown Data's Command skill (Redemption Part II) the episode did show his Command style as being rigid and methodical rather than being fluid.
I'd agree with the Klingon Counsellor idea, as I don't see why Cryptic have allowed players to play as Pakleds... since imo Pakled are not a technological/tech-savvy species, being imo more along the lines of scavengers.
But I've got an Android BO on all three of my Alts (as Operations Officer) and that I think is the best place for them.
For the record, Data did gain control command of the Enterprise - E after Riker got the Titan and Picard went off to be an Ambassador for the Federation.
Also, if you buy a lifetime membership or subscribe for 1000 days, you get an Android Bridge officer. The mechanics are in game, however it's extremely limited.

I do agree that Data gained command of the E (as shown in STO's Path to 2409 and in the Countdown comics), which obviously shows that he has talent... especially since on the D and E he held the position of Operations Manager & Second Officer.
What I meant was Data is shown in the series to be a good Operations Officer, but you don't see many examples in TNG or the films of Data being a Command Officer, except for Redemption Part II, and even then his style of commanding was to go through things step-by-step methodically which implies that if something were to change, then it would impeed Data's command ability by throwing a spanner into his methodical plan.
Like for example how Data disobeyed a direct order given to him by Picard to retreat, to continue scanning for cloaked Romulan ships - While he did detect the ships which was what the point of the mission was to do, he disobeyed orders when the plan was changed.
Every time I see that episode I just want to punch that guy in the face, stuff his unconscious body in the torpedo tube and play a game of "Splat" by trying to hit a cloaked Warbird with him.
That's just the kind of behaviour Heroic Command officers always do - disobey orders so they can save the day. Their success makes them right and that's all there is to it. It's a fundamental narrative construct, basically.
And it certainly doesn't show that Data is inflexible - the plan was not for him to fire any modified torpedoes or whatever, the plan was just to set up the tachyon grid. He did improvise.
His problem always would be be the interpersonal stuff, but with his emotion chip in play, even that might have become irrelevant.
