    The "Resettle Colonists" assignment awards 5 colonists, has a 4 hour duration, can appear anywhere, and has approximately a 24 hour cooldown. Colonists can be traded between captains of the same faction.

    Can you actually use them? With normal DOffs, you can trade them between factions, but they're totally unusable.

    i used 2 of them in one of the Delta Volanis colonization chain, still have 3 on board but it would appear so. They just have a red boarder around the picture.

    Have you tried using prisoners cross-faction?

    No i haven't got any prisoners either side.

    On an unrelated note the assignments have just changed across the sectors and i am in Delta Volanis. There is a Very Rare (purple) assignment - instigate defection that gives a doff (i am unsure if it is kdf doff or what) but i will let you know in 2days

    Edit: I apologise i missed this in the list at the start of the post, sorry

    You can transfer prisoners cross faction, but they didn't show up for me (they have red borders) when trying to assign them to a mission that uses prisoners. I did get the 75 recruitment CXP for dismissing them though.

    I just tried this and I am unable to use prisoners from another faction on my colonial assignments. They appear in my roster, but when I actually try to assign them to a mission, they do not appear.

    Yep, I saw this assignment, too, and have added it to the guide.

    Every time I've done that mission, I get 1 contraband and 3 on a crit. Maybe you're getting more with higher quality DOffs?

    Edited because I was wrong.

    It seems I was thinking of another unusual DOff when I answered this, probably from Instigate Defection. But, logging in tonight, I had a critical success Reclaim Drones mission that gave no DOff.

    Sorry :o

    Thanks, Captain Flakes, sir.

    I've been updating this guide almost every single day, as I discover new information about how to recruit DOffs, and as the DOff system is expanded. So if you're just now reading this thread, keep checking back, as the guide keeps changing!
    I don't know if you wish to break down the leveling packs, but here's info on that:

    Thanks. Do you have any idea if characters created after the launch of season 5 also get these packs? I'd make one myself and level it to test, but I'm too busy searching for more DOffs.

    I have no reason to think otherwise. This new system is for everyone, and I haven't seen any mention of the booster packs being a pre-S5 bonus or any sort of deliniation between Silver/Gold members come F2P.

    I can tell you for sure, that Klingons that were created PreS5, but never completed the tutorial, do get their packs. I had a couple that I made just before they removed the 250 Emblems, but never actually used them. Last night I logged on one of these toons, completed the tutorial, and did some leveling and he was Commander 3 or 4 when I was done. He got not only his Starter, but Booster too.

    I was just wondering if the booster packs were only awarded to characters that existed before season 5 or F2P to give them some extra DOffs. Characters who level up now will be recruiting DOffs all along while playing through the game, so it kind of made sense to me. But yes, I've seen nothing to indicate that new characters won't get the booster packs.

    Saw an assignment earlier today (well, early 12/18) that had a requirement of Doctor, Doctor, Emergency Medical Hologram.

    It was a very rare, and being A) Tired and B) Annoyed that I couldn't find an EMH on the vendor or the Exchange, I ignored it.

    I should have written down the info, but I think I saw it in either Vulcan or Andorian space.

    What is the name, species and rank of the EMH you have?

    You shouldn't be able to have a duty officer EMH at the moment, so I should look into it and figure out what's up (don't worry, I have no plans to have whatever one you have removed).

    One of your queries Eklinaar, yes other starbases DO have recruitment assignments, I saw one in K7 yesterday.

    And the purple for DV is Maela same stats as the blue but female.

    Additionally, completing the chain unlocks the following assignment. This assignment has the yellow text indicating it is part of the chain, but the only assignment it is known to unlock is a repeatable version of itself. It is unknown if this assignment is not working correctly or if there are more assignments after it that have not yet been discovered.

    The military base one is supposed to appear BEFORE renown. At least it did on Tribble. That it's appearing after Renown is likely to be a bug.

    You might want to note that if you crit Support, you get a purple version of the Renown Doff.

    Heretic confirmed earlier today in DOffJobs that is the case. Thanks for the other info; I've added it to the guide.

    on Tribble I had too many EMHs are you saying they are disabled on Holo?

    I'm at work right now, and so I can't pull it up, but I am almost certain that he's a Benzite. I'm not sure which toon has it (and it might be my wife's; she's got a toon on my account). I'll find the details this evening and report back.

    Whichever toon has it, IIRC it is doing the Emergency Tactical Hologram Experimentation mission right now or some such.
