Duty Officers On the Exchange....

Can you please make Duty Officer listings on the exchange faction specific? There is no need for me to scroll through 400 listings of duty officers and see klingon faction listings if I am a fed or vice versa!

The reason I right this is because I was looking for a duty officer with specific traits, got all excited when I found one, bought it for 1.5 million credits, and then realized after it was the wrong faction.

Can't be that hard to put that in the search engine.

    FYI, this thread has been moved to the DO system sub-forum to improve feedback.

    Granted this is probably more of a UI issue, but since it's DOFF specific I moved it here so that the Devs responsible for the DOFF system can see the feedback.

    Though this is not the first time this has been mentioned and there are likely technical hurdles getting in the way of implementing such a thing.

    I want to sign on for this idea. Overall many lil tweaks need to be done to the exchange in general, but this would be one i would consider big.

    I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
    I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
    I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.

    I agree... This is also an issue for the BO's. Wasn't there talk about a total rework of the exchange? This would be a obvious good time to fix this.

    BTW, should'n this be in the UI Section? Seems misplaced here, as it is a UI issue, rather than a actual DuOff thing.

    EDIT: Oh... it was moved... Interesting. Still seems misplaced.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.
    Like Duty Officers? Support effords to gather ideas

    As stated here, such a request needs to be for Bridge Officers as well as Duty Officers. It's irritating having to scroll through so many KDF Bridge Officers when looking for a FED one.

    You guys have convinced me that BO's should also benefit, so I've relocated the thread to the UI subforum.

    As a side-benefit, there is now a redirect in the DO subforum.

    Cheers!

    People have been complaining about this for a long time and nothing has been done about it.

    I remember it being stated that "it's not an easy fix". But, considering the way they recently changed the Exchange to seperate DOFF's by department, I really don't see what could possibly make it anything but an easy fix. It should be a rather simple filter. KDF/FED. I'm not sure why this would be any more complicated than Rank filtering.

    Nothing will happen, because the dev team doesn't have the database and systems design expertise to code a decent Exchange. It is just that simple.

    This is long over due. Its been awhile but nothing sucks worse than buying a doff only to find out it is for the wrong faction.

    DEVs fix this please.

    All it takes is one momentary lapse in vigilance, even though you know the UI sucks and shows you worthless BOffs/DOffs from the opposite faction, to plunk a million EC on a brick.

    How that was ever deemed acceptable for launch escapes me, since anyone using the Exchange will immediately get the impression that its poorly done.

    have just few ideas to handling them.
    1. pls when looking at ecchage give us option to look for specific traits (like resilient) and (mayby implemented but i dont recall it) - looking for specific branch - e.q. explosive expert.

    2. for handling them allow us to mark specific officers as "free to kill" aka not needed- so instead of just plain firing them, that these officiers will have priority (and marker) for specific taska - like exchaging 5 of these for 1better one, performing harakiri (for kligons), sending them to fleet projets..etc.
    manualy writing thier names and then chosing is realy pain. And since i dont have 400 space for them it realy depends which one i will fire.

    Suggestion to the devs:

    Add a "Fed" respectively "KDF" prefix to each Doff (or something similar), so when at the exchange, everyone can put Fed or KDF into the search field to be able to get only these listed.

    Also, no complicated exchange/doff system fixes would be necessary then.
