I love a bit of risk Some high-risk espionage assignments that have high rewards at possibly a high price (death a green/blue/purple) would be awesome.
Great feedback, guys. Some of this stuff is already in the system, in fact. Some would probably work better as full missions in their own right, to be honest.
Oh, also, I thought I'd give you guys a friendly word of caution for when the system goes live...be very, very careful about leaving Baked Tribble or Tribble Kebabs alone in your inventory with regular tribbles...
Just saying. Don't anyone say I didn't warn you.
You know that I just can't resist this. Bring it on. I'll be making a horde of cannibal Tribbles.
Very cool... NOW... we just need to figure out some sort of way to fil out casuality reports... lol Just because they are redshirts doesnt mean they dont have loved ones.
I dont remember if this was mentioned, but we can fill up out rosters and such with one specific race? So That I could have an all-orion/andorian crew?
I so badly wish Content had time to cook up a mission that opened up the moment you fed a Tribble the Baked Tribble or Tribble Kebab food...think crawling around your own darkened ship with flashlights...the power conduits chewed to pieces...assault rifles at bear as you hunt down this new alien monstrosity. Until the climax of the mission where you escape in your shuttle and:
"Photon torpedo the ship. It's the only way to be sure."

Yes, it is possible and viable. It will take a lot of work, however.

No...wait. Then you'd lose your ship.
Damn it. Back to the drawing board.

You could just have it turn into the giant growing tribble we used to have from that bug back in beta, they just kept getting bigger...

Simple fix for this. Fly to the nearest Remmler Array for a Baryon Sweep.
The Borg invasion has made me even more excited about this. The last few days flying around putting out fires has made me think just how well the assignment system could mesh with the Borg invasion to give players all sorts of reasons to just be flying around doing STUFF.

... We do need a good horror mission, something running along the lines of What Lies Beneath. Maybe we find ourselves on a massive abandoned alien outpost buried deep in some planet, and the course of the entire series of missions is to survive and find out why the facility exists and why you've lost contact with your ship. Have objectives like finding food, cobbling together a heating unit, encounter some huge alien bio weapon creature of omghax and kill it.

I think you have several people on board, wishing this with you. lol Myself included.

Are you insane?
Do you know what will happen if you torpedo a ship filled with these alien monstrosities?
They will feed off the warp core explosion and become unstoppable!!!
Imagine a beast that, instead of eating random food laying about and reproducing exponentially, It eats entire starships and reproduces exponentially!!!
So, we could have it automatically start a new funeral assignment, but the only way that would work is if the chance of death was 100% on disaster, and we don't normally let green/blue/purple quality duty officers die in assignments, just go to sick bay, so we'd have to require that you put a white quality duty officer on it or let you risk killing a higher quality duty officer.
We can also have an assignment require another assignment to have been completed before the second assignment can appear, but that could be days or even weeks later.
In other words, there is a possibility of doing this or something like it, but it would definitely be a different classification of assignment type, and would require some careful setup work.
Couldn't you link critical failure to an accolade, which launches a mission?

It would be worth it. Why not make it a distress call from the U.S.S. Nostromo?
What's wrong with you?! Burned meat is for humans! Tribbles are best when eaten alive!
Maybe it's just seared... you need to burn off all that excess hair before you ingest it, otherwise you end up sounding like one of those Caitians. And besides, sticking tribbles in the fire is a lot more efficient (and fun!) for hair removal than manually shaving the critters (although that does sound like a KDF shipboard punishment equivalent of 'peeling potatoes')
Bekk: "...Another lucky shot, sir!"
Captain: "That's it, Bekk! You're relieved of Weapons Officer duties and will be placed on tribble shaving duty for the next two weeks!"
Bekk: "Ugh... Disintegrate me now..."
Captain: "THREE WEEKS! Pray you don't get any 'luckier'..."

Because you mentioned it... any news about the sickbay you can share? Most import how long will they stay in sickbay after getting injured? Is it always the same time or is it a random time between e.g. 1hour and 1 day?
We know we won't be able to visit our Doffs in sickbay (maybe some day) but will there be assignments which reduce the time a Doff has to spend in sickbay? Something like "visit your Doff in sickbay", try a special new operation/medicine on your injured Doff (negative outcome is longer in sickbay, positive outcome is immediately/faster available again) or "send your Doff to a medical facility". This might be easier to implement than the funeral. You "just" have to check if injured Doff > 0 then open up "sick bay assignment".

LOL! Sounds like another Duty Assignment to add to the list.
Random fed klingon doff goes on a rampage because someone had tribbles in their rooms. Medical emergency event triggered, and then the klingon has to go to counseling. xD
so Heretic, with the Duty Officer system currently scheduled to come to holodeck on Oct 20, that means we have a little more than a month of testing for it
so, will it be coming to Tribble, or even Redshirt soon?
Because it's being vetted before being passed out to closed beta then passed to open beta. Also, if the release date to Holodeck is around a month, it stands to reason that soon would be in the next 30 days that it goes to tribble.
Also, my hamster is a smart one--Boo says that Heretic shares the straight mead with the playerbase.
Is it even on Redshirt yet though? I was under the assumption it would be on Redshirt (now) and then after a week or so it would hit Tribble. Maybe the F2P changes are causing some parts of the DoFF system to be reworked? It also sounds like they are testing out F2P on an internal test server (possably redshirt?), those alterations could be causing delays for DoFF testing too?

If tribbles taste like chicken then I would like ranch on mine, please sir!

How do you know?
I have my doubts (based on past experience).
