Ferengi Privateer doff mission cooldown

Hello, I have only one real criticism/request of this mission. Why can the timer not count down while I'm on a ground map?

I find that I sit in space and walk away from the computer to let it cool down if I have no space missions to do.

In future a modification of the cool down timers to be based on the character log in (or even a master timer, that ticks away while offline) would really be nice. The doffs work that way, why can power not?

Just a thought

    You'd be surprised how fun it can be to just cruise around in space. Try to power slide in a cruiser!

    yes it is very stupid to have a such long cool down or even a cooldown at all. its not like u can do more than one of the doff missions at the same time. i would have a thought a day cooldown on the mission its self would be more than enough

    Yeah, I'm okay with watching TV etc, but not ALL the time! I DO have other characters I can play.

    A better way to manage the cooldown I think would being able to summon the privateer any time (or very short CD), but only get the mission once at a time, with he cooldown being the doff mission timer. Similar to the turn in of contraband. The contact is there any time, but can only fulfill the mission once at a time.

    Hell, even a daily mission instead would be preferable...
