So about those new crafting DOffs...

I didn't ask for these. I see no reason (other than yet another money-grab) to add these to the game, rather than using existing DOffs. I've never had a need or desire to buy additional DOff slots (hence my money grab comment).

As such, I'd ask that you please give every character in the game an additional 25 free DOff slots, since we're being forced to accommodate the new system.

    You're not being forced to do anything. If you don't want them then don't take them. If you want to expand your duty roster then do so this isn't a game requirement.

    These 18 DOffs are automatically awarded to you the moment you log onto a character UNLESS you cannot accommodate the 18 DOffs because it would surpass your capacity, then it sits in your character inventory as a "DOff pack".

    The only way you cannot accept them is if trying to add 18 DOffs to your duty roster automagically breaks your character's DOff roster cap and becomes a pack which can then be right clicked and discarded.

    I just logged on a level 20 toon and got 18 DOffs added to it without any prompt from me, just awarded, period. And my VA on Tribble got awarded the "pack" because there was only room for 8 DOffs on their duty roster.

    So, the only way that you CAN'T take them is if your duty roster can't fit all of them when you log in on that character the first time it comes on in Season 9.5.

    On the plus side... 18 more common DOffs to grind into Fleet Credits for Fleet projects that need Common DOffs.

    I'm fairly sure you can just dismiss them if you don't need them.

    I wish I could dismiss them. Can't click and delete and nothing happens by going into the Roster, clicking the DOff and hitting the Dismiss button. At least not for me.

    Probably a bug, but until I can delete these things...

    As post #5 states, they cannot be sent into fleet projects, and I've also found out that they do not award DIL or Recruitment XP by dismissing them... 18 Doffs we can't do anything with. They're common, locked, untradeable, with no reward for dismissal... I'm assuming that they might be nice for some new lvl 12 toon, but unless you started one yesterday, they're worthless... Basically, its Cryptic at its best...

    Nah, they're worthless even as a new toon. Because if you're new, you have a measly 100 slots, and will need all of them to have the room to degrind doffs to get more with. A bunch of junk white doffs you cannot sell as food or degrind into food? Worthless.

    They're very much appreciated on my new character -- discard them if you don't want them.

    I discarded them.

    Thankfully, they were only automatically added to my Fed toon because I had "enough" available slots for the 18 holographic crafting Doffs. I'm pretty sure the 380 Doff I have covers my crafting needs should I decide to craft.

    I am just happy my 3 other toons did not have enough space for those crafting Doffs to be added. Discarding all of them across 4 toon would have been F'ing annoying.

    Unfortunately, once you reach level 15, they are required. Why? The level 15 crafting projects require R&D doffs.

    Except none of those white free DOffs have a R&D attribute... so still quite useless
