Stop The Nerf on Tarsi.

For some feedback, I think Cryptic should not go through with the impending Nerf on Tarsi (in regards to removing her leadership and teamwork traits, particularly the former) the fact that she had a useful space trait caused me and other players (going by chat channels I'm in) to invest heavily in her in terms of training, rare skill manuals, specializations, etc... to have her as a permanent part of the space-skills bridge crew specifically because she contributed something. With the planned changes, she simply becomes a "dump to the coffee room" officer in the long run because she's not useful for anything but ground duty, lacking any kind of contributing space skill, meaning in the long run your going to wind up replacing her with Boffs with relevant talents as you obtain them. I thought the original intent here in giving her "Leadership" was to have a "buddy" character you could use in all aspects of the game right from the beginning like Toran Khev or Flores.
If Tarsi needs to be changed, she should be given at least one useful space ability such as Accurate or Elusive or something else Andorians can take that contributes to the space game.
Either that or Cryptic should refund everything invested in her to every player. I got off light compared to some of the people I've been talking to. Materials have been invested in Tarsi that likely wouldn't have been used until Romulans could be recruited from an embassy or whatever. This isn't a simple change with little in game repercussions.
Hopefully some of you will join me in this protest in hopes of getting Cryptic to give Tarsi a useful space passive.

Changing her now is a Craptastic idea, They give us a decent 23c BOff and then muck around with it because people are actually using it...

...on the one hand, that would make Tarsi pretty much on par with K'Gan and make her like every other Andorian in the game...
...on the other hand, that would make Tarsi like every other Andorian in the game and she'd be replaced by anything with a Space Trait...
I'd have to go with the OP on this. TOSFed characters don't have access to much (thanks to the weird Binding on issues on 23c. ESD) that differentiates them, and Tarsi is the only 23c. BOff of decent quality. Making her an ordinary Andorian relegates her to Ground-only use, and negates the more interesting Trait arrays the TOS BOffs have at present... while I understand the reasoning behind the change, I'd rather they left her alone.
Apparently Tarsi being a decent boff was a bug and it was already "fixed" on tribble.
So yeah....wasted a bunch of spec & skill manuals on a soon to be useless boff.
My vote would be to replace her with Elizabeth Flores ...... Great, great, great Grandmother of one well known Eliza Flores, who happens to have been named for her, as her 25c descendants still remember and honor her 23c sacrifice as First Officer of the ship that was destroyed in battle while helping three other Starflet ships escape from an overwhelming Klingon force .........
