Just a heads up, the Fed reward for critting D'kel support colonization efforts is Jeffery Hildebrand, armory officer. Aggressive, efficient, teamwork, unscrupulous.
Ah, Fortify ADDITIONAL Colonies is unlocked by Fortify Colonies (which actually has the gold text). If you look closely there are a number of missions that are similar to the chain missions but they have text like "reestablish" or "additional". Those are just the repeatable versions but do not actually unlock or continue the chain.
Although I do wonder if repeating them might speed up the chain in some way or even effect the chance of success. I'm not sure how complex the system is.
This is strange since I am almost positive I never did Fortify Colonies before Fortify Additional Colonies showed up...
I should really keep a log of this stuff. Maybe a feature that could be added to the game is the ability to write your own captain's logs. Lots of other RPG games has that (and Eve has the notepad feature).
What is the chance of critical success for the last colonial chain assignment, "Renown?" And how many times can you repeat that mission? Do you have to repeat the chain assignments again before it pops up again?
So is there a list of Doff missions and potential rewards anywhere? Something like a spreadsheet that shows us what sectors give which missions, and the rewards we can get for them?
Found some rare DO missions the other day, called Asylum on [planet xx] and they take just 1 refugee and swap it for a seemly random DO of Green/Blue/Purple quality, depending on the outcome.
Just a quick warning to all, the missions are bugged all to hell and back right now so be warned.
I did 4 of them and this is what I got:
Asylum on Tellar Prime, I used a common on this one just to try it out and I got a Blue doctor named Kapba. Because of this nice outcome I then used my last common and brought 2 uncommon off the exchange for the next 3 missions.
Asylum on Saurian Homeworld, stated that I was to get a Purple named Illogcu but it dropped a white common instead.
Asylum on Earth, again, it stated a purple and again it dropped a white common.
Asylum on Valcan, said I was to get a blue DO and yet again, I get a white one.
I submitted some tickets on this, but after the last customer service experience, I have no expectations that it will get fixed at all or that it will even get read by a person and not just a bot.
I would very much like to hear if anyone gets wrong drops on this mission too.
Those missions are not working properly and the next patch should fix them. You can possibly hold onto them and get the specified reward when the patch goes live. Seems their patching it on Tribble today and I don't know when for Holo. There will not be any retroactive rewards so its best to just not turn in the mision when its completed.
I have heard that sometimes it says Blue reward and you get green, also sometimes it says white and you get a purple seems to be very random the reward at the moment the most likely outcome is white. Everyone who' doing Asylum mission is waiting for it to get fixed.

First, yes, a fix for the Refugee assignments that weren't pointing to the right reward tables is in the pipeline.
Second, it should never be telling you a specific duty officer will be a reward before you have actually received it, because the server actually doesn't know. There has been a recurring bug where the server keeps trying to be helpful and guessing to predict the reward, which unfortunately isn't what we want. Our UI programmer is working on a fix for this.
Yes, I have experienced the same as Kodell, too. I got white Doffs, also. Heretic - tyvm ahead of time for UI people getting them fixed.......
P.S. I have 2 Fed VAs (Talulir - my 1st character - and Jackie O. Markuss) now and still only one KDF LG Shin'estrrios - I have one KDF close at 45 Level right now thanks to the Doff System (love playing my Doffs!!!!!!!) --- I have 12 characters all together.......
Some of the Duty Officer Assignments titles and descriptions sound like sooooooo much EPIC FUN!!!
Im WISHING that maybe Cryptic will make them ALL real missions, where we can elect to run them with DOFFs as our away team or let it be automated like it is now. Double rewards if we complete it ourselves manually. Would be cool since a lot of the assignments arent just kill this or that. Fixing systems on the ships or certain structures could be mini-games. Talking to diplomats and first contact assignments are FUN and could be a series of converstaion statements where how we answer determines success and i can go on and on.!
Duty officers that are handcrafted rather than being algorithmically generated frequently do in fact have story blurbs.
Aye, and I love the flavor text on both MTG Cards and the DOffs. One of my favorites right now is on the Purple (Gorn?) Security Officer for Fed T4 Diplomacy, which says something to the effect of: "Don't worry about the Klingons sir. They will not touch you." -- Just something a bad-a** Secret Service officer would say. It's cool.
If you right click on some Doffs, typically blue and purple from what I've seen (but not all of them), you'll find a quote at the bottom. The Deferi Doffs both say something about balance, for example.
Heretic stated in another thread that there were commendation level gated recruitment missions. Seems like the right place to ask if anyone knows what they are and what level they appear. Maybe add them to the guide at the front if they are doffs and not boffs.

Only thing I've found so far as the onboard Military/Medical/etc Achievement assignments. So far only versions I've seen give a white boff, with no failure chance, no inputs, and no CXP. People with lots of tier 3 and 4 categories may be seeing more, but even the ones that start showing up at tier 2 are very rare.
I just got a very rare Ferengi cultural exchange in Alpha Centauri. And I know this was mentioned before but the very rare Caitain (also Alpha Centauri) was never edited into the original post.

There are too many doffs available from the various asylums to list, and the outcome is always random. The doffs Eklinaar specifically named are there because that's always the outcome of the colonial chains, so everyone always gets the same thing. That isn't true for asylum.
Has there been a recent change in unlocking doffs for dililithium after having reached a new commendation tier, or is diplomacy a special case. I've scrolled down to the very end, but I only have the ones aviable by requsition listed.
Found the whole thread dedicated to this issue. Nevermind the fool.
Whilst you're checking the Lethean Boff's.. can you do a sweep on the Klink Boff's in general.. because in the last week I've seen 2 x Human (Sci, Tact, and Eng), and numerous Alien Boff's for KDF, but I'm yet to see a normal Klink Boff assignment.. It's normally Aliens only as far as the KDF are concerned.

what color? purple?

Critting Supports always gives a purple
Least maybe until tomorrows patch... Who knows what that could mean? :-/
Also, I dont see it linked here, but the following page I have found useful:
http://www.stowiki.org/Duty_officer/Special
Khazan: Hunter Ikrin (projectile weapons officer). Aggressive, efficient.
Afehirr: Orlos (energy weapons officer). Efficient, telepathic, unruly.
Zenas: Yelgrun (warp theorist). Efficient, tactful.
Those three should complete the list of purple doffs from Fed support efforts.
Awesome! Thanks!

Lets see

In fact, they do!

Yes, via duty officer assignment only, however. A fix is in the pipeline to make it somewhat more common as well.
Thank Zod for that. I was just about to raise a ruckus about never seeing that mission.
