No No I understand and agree with your opinion, but I never ever make a large purchase in this game without doing it on Tribble first and running a quick test. Their descriptions, testing, whatever could be right on the money... but I always try new builds and skill repsecs on Tribble first before implementing them on the live character. I've found that i didn't like the idea that I thought of or perhaps my math didn't add up.

I strongly believe in QA and sometimes I shake my head at things like simple descriptions that are not correct for items, rep/fleet unlocks... if they had to write a million dollars off their yearly numbers in give backs they'd have a ~30 person, 3 team QA department. I've been there....but unfortunately we don't sign contracts giving us that power.

fix please.

I will be mentioning this on STOked Radio this saturday. Is it just another stacking fix? is is yet another on a list of "now its working as intended" ninja fixes? you tell me - Maverick@stokedradio.net

From archoncryptic's post, that the boffs will stack, it sounds like the best possible boff setup will be all romulans.

I'll hold off on buying any until this goes through a few rounds of balance testing.

Sci and Eng BOFFs do not give you Covert Operative traits. Their trait just decreases cloak cooldown.

I would love to see a bug fly with 4 tactical officers and 1 eng. They'll be super easy to take out.

At least for tac slots yeah. I'd prefer that wasn't the case and was much happier with them not stacking, but alas.... Cryptic can't seem to stop finding ways to make starfleet and KDF options seem the less desirable choice.

Ah, didn't realize that. My fleet hasn't unlocked the purple romulan boffs and I was holding off purchasing them until then.

Another issue that needs to be looked at is the Rare Female versus Male Covert Operative.

The female variant currently has 2.5%, while the male variant has 3.8%.

This is with the rare BOFF only. Uncommon appears to be the correct values (just not stacking currently).

Any idea on when this will be resolved? The upcoming patch this week to tribble/holodeck?

Thx

@archoncryptic
Efficient trait could be improved so it adds baseline power, and/or improve warp core potential. Say boff with efficient adds 7.5 warp core efficiency, +10 warp core potential, and +2 base power to all subsystems. Just an Idea. I really think efficiency got messed up somehow because it used to be awesome, but now 5 efficient saurians barely add 2 points if you already have 9 points in efficiency. :/
