I believe I've identified the problem that was causing the assignment to work this way, and I've changed the functionality a bit.
Here's how it should be working now:
There are two versions of the assignment. Assignment "A" rewards Shakespeare on a Critical Success. This is repeatable until you get Shakespeare, but I've added a cooldown to the assignment, as some of you have suggested.
Once you get Shakespeare, assignment "B" unlocks, and you can no longer do "A". Assignment "B" has different Critical rewards.

This change should be in Soon (TM).
Appreciate that. I don't suppose the chances could be improved a WEEE bit if you run it with the "Intended" cast? The crit chance seems a little lowballed (although calculated properly according to the math of the system) when using the proper doffs (any way to add to the crit % if using a certain combination of specifically named DOFFs?).
I just had a critcal success on this mission on my first attempt... it was supposedly going to give me a special item and a special doff, I only got the doff. Has anyone had this issue and what is the "special item"? Thanks.

Does that mean you've actually rerun the assignment? I ask because it failed for me the three times I tried it.
If you got a crit the first time you did the assignment you can rerun it with no problems. If you got any other result you can see the assignment, but as you said, it fails to start.

Does anyone know if the mission was patched in today's update?
The fix isn't in live just yet, sorry. Hang in there!

Either way I hope to try this again Soon(tm)!
I'll continue to look at the odds after the fix goes into make this repeatable, but I am not currently planning to change the odds at this time.
Is there a specific sector the mission is supposed to appear in? I've collected all the photonic doffs but can't seem to find it. Its been about 3 days also since I get the last one. And I know it should be listed under my operations officer tab.

I believe it's the one from the Freighter bridge, just ask someone with one for a bridge invite.
Comments
Many people on doffjobs have not been able to repeat it even when they didn't crit.
My STOwiki page | Reachable in-game @PhyrexianHero
Fed Armada: Section 31 (level 730, 2700+ members)
KDF Armada: Klingon Intelligence (level 699, 2100+ members)
and then not getting a crit or being able to repeat sucked.
This is a very sensible change.
Thank you!

I believe he mentions further up that it isn;t rolled out yet.
I;m assuming it'll be for the next patch...

For reference, I only got a success rating the first time though and I don;t have the doff.
You only get Shakespeare on Crit.

I've managed to get a blue Orion Entertainment Holo.

I have it on my todo list to see if it works yet but I have 3 Hamlet doffs currently on assignments.
But, yes, it wasn;t in the last patch notes and I don;t recall seeing it on the latest tribble patch notes either.
