Hi there!


I'm slowly completing my KDF bridge crew and I was wondering: is there a difference between blue/rare and purple/very rare Gorn bridge officers?

Looking on the Exchange, they all seem to have the same 3 first passives: Basic Reptilian Strength, Resilient and Cold Blooded, with the 4th passive being a superior ability.
Is there maybe a different advantage for purple Gorn boffs (stats/HP?), or are they basically the same as blue ones?


Thanks in advance.

The only difference rarity makes is in traits and rare abilities.

However 'racial' traits (like Leadership and Teamwork for humans) are fixed and not affected by rarity afaik...

gorn have 3 racial traits so... the only difference is going to be in rare powers they get.

Just to confirm: with powers do you mean the skills you can train them in/ spend officer points on? So they might get (more) rare skills if they're purple?

Or do you mean the 4th passive ability/non-fixed trait?
(So far I haven't really seen a difference between blue and purple there yet; they're superior abilities both on blue and purple gorn boffs and I haven't spotted a different rarer one there yet.)

powers/abilities = the trainable skills. traits = their passive traits.

purple can have more Superior traits but since gorn only have one slot to be superior in...

OK, thank you for the answers, Deadly Shoe! ^_^ If the only difference is going to be in rare trainable skills they might have, I'll just go on and enlist a blue Gorn now and maybe train it up later.

Not sure if it applies to BOFF or not but there was a chart (don't ask me where) in the forums that showed the extra skill levels of white, green, blue, and purple ship equipment. It was not a lot maybe +2 per each level.

Thank you for your reply, Aoav160!

I don't think think this applies to boffs though. I just enlisted a blue Klingon engineer to compare with my starter white Klingon Engineer, and the stats (Health) seemed the same.
