DOff ideas

I am not sure if this has been suggested or not and frankly are too lazy to search the forums so my apologies if this is a repeat:

DOff leveling: Much like the BOffs, people can become attached to their people. Why not have a leveling system for the DOffs. Nothing spectacular like new powers, but my thoughts are simple....An increase in success percentage.

We currently have XP and BOff XP given out on missions. Why not give out DOff XP instead of BOff XP. This XP could then be added to DOffs to increase their success rates. This could be done in a basic system like 500 XP gives a 5% increase to mission success rate with that DOff. There could be a promotion system where 500 XP ranks the DOff up to the next rank and adds % of success or unlocks a new ability.

There is a lot that can be done to flesh out the DOff system more.

Here are some issues that I have found with the DOff system:

1. The Request Duty Officers tab has no function that I have seen.
2. If you have the DOff screen open and one of the missions complete it disappears and does not give the option to complete it.
3. Completed missions log has a bug where the DOff in the first position is duplicated on all missions. It does not refresh to show the correct DOff.

I will also report these in the Bugs forum, but figured it could be referenced here as well.

    1) It's an upcomming feature, possibly available with this weeks patch. (has something to do with buying DOff's in the C-Store.)

    2) Look at the bottom of the list in the Assignments Completed... they stack from the bottom up for some reason. If it is there, just click on it and Finish the Assignment/Mission.

    3) I haven't seen this one yet. (although it might have something to do with the fact that the Completed Assignments stack from Bottom to Top with the Newest at the Bottom.) <shrug>
