I realize you are not in a place to consider feature enhancement requests to the DOFF system, but I thought I would throw out this idea for future consideration.
Sometimes, we have DOFF missions that last for a few days. How cool would it be if the captain could get a mission update partway through? So, for example, you could check the mission progress on a reinforce troops on Starbase 24, and you read, "We're pinned down here! Outmanned and outgunned! Outlook doubtful!"
Typically, you wouldn't be able to do anything in a situation like this. That's just part of the burden of command.
