Specialization BOffs for KDF?

I was killing some time the other day when I saw that Feds can buy Specialization BOffs from the vendor on ESD. Sure, they're only common and cost Dil, but I still found it interesting. Enough so that I switched to a Klingon alt to see what the KDF had to offer.

Nothing. Doonk. Squatola.

I then decided to look online at the STO Wiki and it says that Feds AND Romulans can get these but the KDF is SOL.

I know that Klingons aren't the focus of new content, but why in the world can't they get something as common (literally) as these Specialization BOffs?

Is there any chance they could be added in the somewhat near future? It would seem only fair that if the Feds can have them, and someone went thru the trouble of making sure Romulans got them then the KDF deserves to have them as well.

    There are specialization Boffs from the KDF Boff vendor for Intel, Command, and Pilot, the same as available for Feds. They might not show up until higher level though.

    You can also make KDF boffs on your roster a specialized boff with specialization qualification tokens.Either you make em (Typically you have to be far enough in that specialization to make Lvl III manuals) or buy them off the exchange.

    Something that always puzzled me is that FED have access to Caitian Intel BOFFs, while KDF don't have Ferasan Intel BOFFs as an equivalent...

    I've found this quite irksome myself.

    Though wouldn't Orion or lethean (or however you spelled that) make better KDF intel officers as IIRC ferasans were suppose to be less then average intelligence though with better physical attibutes(aka stronger, more agile and with better endurance) and occational cases of telepathy like the race they're the "serial numbers filed off" version of, in-universe that is.

    Well, i've personally stopped reasoning in terms of "in-universe" logic, mostly because of a number of lore-breaking game aspects that are probably too many to list here.

    What i do see here, though, is that FED players can have access to BOFF from a species that is normally considered a cash shop unlock for just a negligible amount of Dilithium, while the KDF side cannot.

    Also, please, before anyone says anything about KDF fanboys whining, my main and oldest toon is FED :)

    Well, it's not really so much about which race would be more appropriate for the Specialization, it's the fact that, with Intel, a C-Store race was made available to FED while its KDF equivalent was not also made available.

    If you notice, though, since Intel, you don't get the variety anymore for the other Specializations.
