Doff requirements for Star bases

The current requirements are too steep.

One example:
A tactical tier 0 mission requires 12 white security and 12 white Tactical Doffs. That's 24 doffs for 1 mission.

You will drain off your white doffs after a few missions. For the small fleets this is a huge issue. Not as big of deal initially for the large fleets but as you progress it will become more of an issue.

So once they are gone how do you replenish them?

1) New Doff packs?

200 zen per pack. After 5 packs I got 4 of the required white doffs for this mission. At this rate it would collectively cost a fleet 30 doff packs to run 1 mission. I don't mind a doff sink that is designed to generate cstore purchases but I feel like I should be able to get a missions worth of required doffs with 1 or 2 packs. Maybe offer a white doff pack (Tactical, Engineering, or Science versions) so that if I am buying doffs to offer up to the star base I get the ones I want.

2) Requisition new Doffs from Academy?

Well ok this gives you 2 free doffs of the specified type but you have to wait 2 days. There is already a time sink on the mission. I don't think we need more sinks.

3)Buy them on the exchange?

The lower prices for white doffs on the exchange range 80k - 280k. That puts energy credit spend around the neighborhood of 1.9m - 6.7m EC. I don't think the intention was to put this kind of EC sink into the star base system at level 0.


As I stated at the beginning the doff requirement is too high. I think at minimum a 50% reduction across all levels on doff requirements should happen. But I do think being able to buy 15 - 20 white tactical doffs in a pack would be a great addition to the cstore; and it would lower prices on the exchange.

    Your leader made stupid choices, blame him. There are several missions which do not require many duty officers, but you'll need more dilithium in return.

    The missions are fine at the moment, it's not designed to be filled in a few seconds bu 4 people on their own. But your fleet leadership made bad decisions, you should tell them.
