Just sold one a couple days ago, as I didn't need any more for my crew. Got it via a recent doff assignment, turned out to be a VR engineer with Superior Operative!
I just got a crazy weird one.. in the Delta Quadrant right next to the sphere, on the personal tab. A purple DOFF mission with the romulan graphics, not fed, to recruit a Velcan tactical officer

Did you take that mission? If so, please let us know how it turned out.

I did... gave me a purple fed vulcan tac boff with nice skills, I immediately sold for 15k ec -.- no value in boffs that arent sro
i haven't had a Romulan recruitment for two months.. lots of humans, bolians and a ferrengi, but no Romulans. until yesterday, when i had a Romulan tactical.
Their rarity shows on the exchange; Ferrengi Purple Tactical, 40k ec. Romulan Purple Tactical 4 million. (and thats without superior operative).
Whatever algorithm throws these things out needs some serious spannerwork.

Actually I'm afraid the rarity is intentional - one of the devs commented on it back when these recruitment missions were broken completely and they were 'fixing' it.

I'd be happy for them to jack up the frequency...and, in exchange, eliminate our Romulan ability to get allied BOFFs. Same for DOFFs, actually. And Academy. And Security. And ships. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And before someone comes around saying "you just want to double-dip", I'll add that I'll do without your scoop of blueberry or strawberry, if I can just get one WHOLE scoop of pistachio, please.
I get them, but they do not have the ( Superior ) Romulan Operative trait very often it seems. That, and they also turn out blue, just to annoy me. The 51 percent chance of getting a very rare one is certainly not going in the correct direction, it feels more like 31 or something.
In the last month:
I've had 1 Romulan boff, 1 Trill Boff and 1 Ferengi Boff on the Romulan. And that involves me travelling the three quadrants actively looking for recruits in every sector.
I've had 12 Boffs on the Klingon, and three just in the last week. And my Klingon hasn't moved, not even beamed up. They just get given recruit missions, over and over.
Romulan recruitment is definitely broken, and not just on the "we never get any Romulans/Remans". We never get ANY recruits.
I vote with Vorwoda, up the frequency of recruits, and ONLY give us the choice of Romulan/Reman. If I wanted multi-species crews I'd have set up a Federation character in the first place.

And /or edited in view of actually reading all of the above/ Yes, extend that sentiment to the DOFFs as well, I did not make a Romulan for their fascinating ability to not have Romulans onboard their ships. How strange that might sound!
Extra bonus edit:
After forking up 2500 Dilithium and 5 green Romulan DOFFs for a blue quality Vulcan DOFF, on New Romulus no less, I'm starting to think they haven't looked into previous complaints going on for the last two years. ( I actually wanted a Romulan, to make it clear. )

Try sacrificing 4 blue Romulans and getting a purple...
wait for it...
Nausicaan.
At least now I know why they're called Nausicaans. Because I got Nauseous when that happened!
NOTE: Before someone explains, I know the real reason they're called Nausicaans is an anime reference.
DEVs, please eliminate non-Romulan/non-Reman DOFFs from that terminal. Thanks in advance.

You have my deepest sympathies, because we can after all relate!
Complained last year about having to spend somewhere around 40K Dil to get ONE purple Romulan DOFF. After getting some assorted selection of alien Starfleet personel. But you know what they say, a good thing can't be said too often. I have not heard about the bad things though, so who knows where this will take us. Certainly not on the path of putting anything above green into the "Machine of Dilithium Doom". Which should come with a big warning sign, to all that ventures close to it!
They need to fix the meat grinder so it spits out only romulan/remen, and make it so you can put any doff into it. I would love to get rid of all these feds roaming my ship, and I swear when I go to use that console most of them don't show up.
Since I am here, how about Romulan/Remen R&D DOFF's as well.

Yes, the reman recruitments, are even rarer than the romulan ones!
