Star Fleet Armada Rogue Adventures owners like me are saying thanks today for free DLC! It adds a new element that mirrors actual Armada history: Rogue Officers!
Players can now assign an officer to each and every ship in there (sic) fleet. There are 6 professions of officers and 4 ranks. The officer professions are combat, communication, engineering, medical, navigation and science. Each profession has 6 unique perks. About 2/3 of the perks affect only the ship they are assigned too, while the rest can affect your shuttle craft, planet lander or even your stats.
The race of the officers for a game are taken from the races in the game except for the main enemy or space pirates. This can come into play as assigning an officer of the same race as the ship will allow the officer to gain 50% more xp. You will never get an officer from your race or from pirate ships. This makes obtaining ships from other races much more important than what it was.
