With the Junior Officer Event just around the corner, is there any advice as to how we could maximize our returns from the event? As a returning player I haven't done this event and would appreciate any advice the STO veterans could offer up.
Conversely, It can also help if you do lots of 30-45 minute and one or two hour assignments and let the CXP just build up instead of trying to hit it big with eight-20 hour assignments...
If you have any CXP boosts from Lockboxes - or a Consultant DOff with a CXP-boost ability - it's a good time to use them, too.
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q, TNG: "Q-Who?"
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
@lucho80 - I had no idea the Voth Battle Zone gave out doff missions. And you know it's almost embarrassing there is a doff button in the lower corner when you warp in to the space battle zone.
@turbomagnus - That is good advice about doing short doff missions which will pay out more over the same time as doing one long 20 hour mission. Reminds me of how the crafting missions work.
@mightybobcnc - Thank you very much for the spreadsheets! They both will be quite useful.

Most of the good Dyson assignments have a specific location on the map that you have to hunt for and last 5 hours:
