1. DOFF stuff: LOL Please! Enjoy having your DOFFs get killed from playing a game of Fizzbin.
All you need to do is to select missions with low casualty rate and select the appropriate Doffs to ensure the disaster rating is low enough where you feel the risk is acceptable. My 1st toon (Fed) started out with nothing more than white Doff and I generally only get white Doffs through recruiting assignments. Sure, I had some Doffs die initially as I was learning the Doff system, but after a relatively short time I figured out how to minimize my losses.
Slowly over time I bought green Doffs on the exchange. Eventually I bought blue Doffs as well after saving up some ECs. Asylum missions offers a chance to get green, blue and purple Doffs. I have a pretty decent number of purple Doffs around 30 - 35 that I received as various Doff mission awards like Asylum and Defection and 4 of them came from the Doff appreciation event that just took place last weekend.
As you gain better quality Doffs you can take on missions with potentially better rewards and higher casualty rates, because choosing the Doffs for the assignment can lower Disaster to 0%.
I only do Doff missions with my Fed toon if Disaster is 3% or less. For my KDF toon it would be 6% or less because I believe the KDF is more willing to accept risk than the Fed. I am pretty sure I have lost less than 9 white Doffs on my Fed toon. As for my KDF toon (which I have not played as long as my Fed toon), I probably lost around 12 - 16 Doff, but that also includes a few escaped prisoners from ransom missions.

I agree, I too miss the Mirror Universe AND the hourly XP bonus. The two together was amazing.
However I have to give kudos to Cryptic for Reputation Sponsorships....
