Fleet Commendation Reports

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've played so I'm trying to absorb all the new features and changes.

I finally have the requisite 110K points to do a Diplomacy Commendation Report. Two questions:

I saw some mention about this being "bugged". What's the bug, and if I try it what to watch out for?

Not sure that the reward really matches the effort to get the extra 8K or so points I needed to reach 110K. Thoughts?

    I've never heard of any bugs attached to that assignment.

    It is probably one of the easiest ways to get large numbers of fleetmarks. I would say it's definitely worth it. You don't have to get all the commendation categories, you can focus on the easiest ones for you to accumulate points in. For me I've found Development and Recruitment to be easiest, but that depends on which assignments you prefer. The assignments are repeatable and you can continue earning commendation points, so with the right doff assignments, you can do a category every couple of days. The basic reward is 75 FMs IIRC, and you can crit up to 100 FMs, which is really easy to do if you assign the right DOFF.

    Keep an eye out for high value assignments, there are a few that regularly award over 1k CXP on success, without a crit. Some of these can be quite common too.

    No bug, but the recommended DOff will never be the one who will give you the highest Crtitcal chance. Make your own choice

    Yes, now that you mention it, this is probably what was being referred to. On "no-fail" assignments, never go with the Success traits as doing so will actually only serve to reduce the chances of a Critical Success.

    As for the reward/effort, for me at least it's really just a way to find something useful to do with your CXP once you max out a category. Engineering was the first category I maxed out thanks to all the 50-dilithium assignments, and those are still among the most common assignments I run, so I have enough CXP to run the Commendation Report assignment every now and then. I probably wouldn't bother to max out CXP categories specifically for this assignment, but it happens naturally as I run the assignments for other reasons.

    And don't forget to use the fleet marks pool bonus to gain even more marks from these assignments, up to 120 marks on a crit.

    You can make 10K points in a couple of days? :eek:

    you buy fleet marks bonus pool from the quartermaster at your fleetbase, 15.000 fleet credits for 100 bonus marks (you get 5.000 fleet credits back when you contribute the 100 bonus marks)

    Search the exchange for "5,000" or "25,000". The fleet bonus things come in those two denominations. Include the comma.

    It's not that hard, you just gotta keep an eye out for the right assignments, don't bother with the ones that just give you 50-100 CXP for several hours wait, and remember where the best assignments spawn. Starfleet Academy, Earth Space Dock and Sol system, for example, are the most common places to find Development assignments, You get recruiting points every time you run any assignment that will give you more doffs, or remove them from your roster, such as the Duty Officer Exchange, Reassign under-performing officer or the Duty Officer Cadre assignments from the personnel officers. The Exchange and reassign assignments in particular are what many refer to as the "doff grinders," because you can feed doffs and a small amount of dil into them and generate lots of CXP with very short timers and no cooldowns.
