I was wondering if there were any plans to include an App where you can keep up to date on your Duty Officers missions and send them back out into the field (so to speak). I cant imagine it would be that difficult to do, and would allow people limited access via thier phone or other device, as i know I mix my STO fix when im away from my PC in work and out and about!

What do people think a viable option or not??

    The STO Gateway provides some access to in-game activities, mostly the fleet projects at the moment. Doffs have been discussed for it, but it might not be the same Doff game you play in STO itself. The biggest issue with just exposing Doffs to the gateway is that they are highly dependent on where your character is and who they're talking to. The only thing they'd be able to put in the Gateway is your "shipboard" assignments that are always available. Unfortunately, that's not nearly enough of what people are looking to do. You want to be able to turn in Contraband, load up Marauding or Diplomacy missions, evolve pets, etc. That all requires you to cruise sector space or talk to specific contacts.

    Perhaps if you broke free from the Apple matrix and joined the rest of the world, where we have cookies instead of fruit, then you might be able to use the portal on a handheld device? ;)
