Here are the changes I've managed to make today, based on the excellent details you have all shared in this thread (and a few other older reports I found):

Thanks again for your assistance in this matter. I wouldn't have known where to begin without the information you all provided.
Wow! Those are some major fixes Bort. Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this, and sort these various niggling little issues, its really appreciated!
Also - not sure if it was you or someone else that recently sped up the completion of doff/R&D assignments - but this was another major QoL improvement. Thanks!!
I was pretty much convinced Reclaim Assimilated Borg Drones was dead for fed, so hopefully I'll see it in the future.
I got it a few days ago. Every time it comes up I advertise in Doffjobs/calls. But it is pretty rare, and as its buried in Medical DH, its hard to spot
To anyone who claims they can't get Romulan Bridge officer missions, I have a Romulan Science officer recruitment mission running right now, and I've run probably 7-10 since DR. They've always been elusive though, from what I know.

Here are the changes I've managed to make today, based on the excellent details you have all shared in this thread (and a few other older reports I found):
The following assignments previously available only in Star Clusters have been moved to the adjacent Sector Blocks:
- Recover Debris from Unmanned Jem'Hadar Warship
- Infiltrate Deep Space Ketracel-White Production Facility
- Deliver Prototype Technology to Allies in Gamma Quadrant
- Investigate Unmanned Jem'Hadar Warship
- Compete in Exhibition Ushaan Matches on Andoria
- Raid on Industrial Complex (6 hr version)
- Raid on Mining Colony (6 hr version)
- Raid on Research Facility (6 hr version) (This should fix most of the issues described in this thread, as they were being caused by map requirements that could no longer be met.)
The rarity of the following assignments have been adjusted, allowing them to appear with somewhat more frequency:
- Evaluate Reman Tactical Bridge Officer Candidate (Romulan Only)
- Evaluate Reman Engineering Bridge Officer Candidate (Romulan Only)
- Evaluate Reman Science Bridge Officer Candidate (Romulan Only)
- Reclaim Assimilated Borg Drones
Fixed a bug that was preventing Romulan captains from ever having access to the following assignment:
- Special Deal on Entertainment Provisions
Fixed a bug that was causing the following Military assignments to reward Diplomatic CXP (even to KDF-aligned Romulans)
- Provide Additional Security for Delegation from Klingon Defense Force
- Provide Additional Security for Delegation from United Federation of Planets
- Provide Additional Security for Delegation from Acamarian Sovereignty
The following Romulan assignments can now accept Duty Officers from the player's allied faction (Fed or KDF):
- Common Duty Officer Reassignment
- Uncommon Duty Officer Reassignment
- Uncommon Duty Officer Transfer
- Rare Duty Officer Reassignment
- Rare Duty Officer Transfer
- Very Rare Duty Officer Transfer
So, presuming all of the above checkins end up being cleared by QA (that is, I didn't TRIBBLE anything up in the process), hopefully those changes will appear in a patch within the next month or less.
If there are additional outstanding issues, please continue to use this thread to report the details. And again, remember to include both:
- Exact Name of Assignment
- Exact Location it Should Be
Thanks again for your assistance in this matter. I wouldn't have known where to begin without the information you all provided.

Thank you, Borticus, for telling us what you needed and for actioning what you got into a useable fix for problems. If you wanted to set up a thread asking for stuff of this nature in future, I'm sure we'd all try harder to be specific and not just vague and moany.

This may or may not be related, but - is the time delay DOFF missions finishing gone?
I had the impression that they were at least done faster than before. And not the way they were sped up lately by being finished in groups of 3.
Ooops, no, I thought this thread was about the problem where DOFF assignments you had started were missing, not that missions weren't available. Sorry!
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
I think I've seen that assignment 3 times in the 3 years I've been playing this game.
I often see that assignment in SFA. Today I saw it on defera ground. And it's require 2x "Shields Battery - Large" (not one). Information about this assignment in STOwiki isn't correct.

I see this mission often enough, but I NEVER do it because, well, because it requires two LARGE batteries ffs.
Aside from borg STFs, is there any other way to get them? Can you get them on crit for the shipboard "Fabricate Battery" assignment? If not it should be made so.
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.
been looking for a while and still have not seen first mission in the "ghosts of the Jem'hadar" chain....has any one been able to start this chain since the fix and where were you when you found it?

I actually just saw the first Ghost of the Jem'Hadar quest in Beta Ursae yesterday, so it looks like at least with the latest patch it has returned.
Just wanted to say thank you. I checked with my alts, and two who were missing the Ghosts of the Jem'Hadar chain now can get it. I might need to go grab it with the rest. Excellent news.

Hell yeah!! Bug fixes!!!! Thank you soooooo much. We really appreciate it! As a reward, you may have the rest of the day off! :eek::):D
I got her in the Tekara sector block on my newest character. I think it's safe to assume that the assignment can probably pop up anywhere. I'm almost certain I got her in Orellius before, and I know I've gotten her in Alpha Centauri, but neither of those blocks are highlighted on that map.
I'm not sure, but when you restored the Ghosts of the Jem'Hadar chain you may have inadvertently split some of the missions into Fed and KDF. Before they went missing, when star clusters were changed, I believe that when a particular mission in this chain popped in a sector, it was available to both Fed and KDF at the same time. See the Doff Trekker sheet: https://i.imgur.com/BWKWv3m.png
I don't know the full extent of what changed, if anything, since about half of my characters have already completed the chain, and most of the others were stuck at 9/10. I do know that when Provide Sanctuary to Gul Tain 10/10 has popped (current map) so far -- I've seen it twice -- it has been either for Fed or KDF, not both. I've confirmed it both ways with multiple characters: when it's visible to Fed, KDF for whom it should be available don't see it, and vice versa. I don't know if 10/10 was even changed at all with the recent patch -- maybe it's always been separate.
This isn't the biggest of deals, but it'd be great to know whether or not this is intentional so that the Doff Trekker sheet can be altered to reflect it. Thanks.

Persuade Cardassian Captain from the Ghosts of the Jem'Hadar chain is still not available and didn't make the list of fixes.
First of all Borticus, thank you for this. So it wasn't just all in my mind when I thought the doff map looked more like it used to today then .
That said I do have a report and I can't believe no one else has brought this up yet, but then I'll do so.
All haggle missions appears to be gone from the trader at DS9, both I and other have tried repeatedly to find them with him with no luck. (Personally I have tried with three toons, over several days and several times a day. And I'm not alone in this.)
They can be found on the sector map but it is almost impossible to do so. You have to locate special points on the map to find, usually on the border, if you overshoot you have to fly back and try again. (See this thread for more.) I have found one on the border of the Minos Corva sector and one slightly beyond the border of the Orionis sector (unrefined keteracel and jevonite I believe it was), but as it takes some very careful flying to find the spots I don't always bother and as I said they are utterly gone from the DS9 trader.
The names of missions are:
Haggle for Bateret Incense.
Haggle for Ferasan Nepeta Leaves.
Haggle for Jevonite.
Haggle for Shapeshifting Lockets.
Haggle for Tulaberris.
Haggle for Unrefined Keteracel.
I can't remember which sector they used to be in as I usually picked them up from the trader and only if I happened to spot them on the map, so if anyone recalls I'd be much obliged if you'd add the information.
And once again Borticus thanks for the speedy fixes and for looking into this .
Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
yes, all haggle missions definitely missing since s10 rollout - or more accurately, i havent seen a single one. some have reported finding them in random location but i havent
btw - there have been reports of doff missions showing up briefly as you travel through space and apparently cross a boundary, but they disappear fast and you cant get them back. i can report that ive finally witnessed this myself as i was desperately searching for haggle missions by flying back and forth with the doff mission window open. if you miss them, then your doff mission list reverts back to a standard configuration that is the same every time. in fact, i managed to finally click on one 'new' mission (not in my standard default list) and it instantly reverted the whole list back to the defaults! and i didnt get the 'new' mission either
this is such unusual behavior that im assuming it has to be a bug
but if its not and the means to get them has just changed somehow, fine just let us know what the new system is
if its a defect please try to find time to fix it. my related assignment chains have ground to a standstill
point of clarification, i was talking about ds9 haggle missions disappearing. i used to park my ship there and cycle in while developing a klingon character in order to essentially farm haggle missions. i havent really looked for haggle missions elsewhere yet
well except for the 'doffing on the borders' where you fly along the sector borders and wait for the mission list to change. that does work but its very spotty and so far i havent found any haggle missions there yet. its also tedious as hell so it would be better if we could get the missions at ds9 on a fairly regular basis
"Bribe Ferasan for Information about Jem'hadar in Sector", a Trade assignment from the 'Ghosts of the Jem'Hadar' chain that formerly appeared in the Rolor Nebula, Zenas Expanse and Breteka Nebula seems to have vanished. It's been missing since, roughly, the Exploration Cluster removal, I believe.
In addition, most of the Trade assignments seem to, since The Iconian War was released and Quadrants replaced Sector Blocks, appear only if a player is exactly on a border between sectors, especially in the Alpha Quadrant. If one crosses the border, the assignment list reverts back to the 'default' with no region-specific assignments listed. The only way to get it back is to reverse until you're in the previous sector, then move forward again at one-quarter speed so that momentum when trying to stop doesn't carry you across the border.
"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...
fwiw, i spent about four hours today flying around the sector borders (doffing on the borders) and still to date have not found a single haggle mission since s10. not even one
You can find doff missions in the orbit of some planets. For example, I've found Haggle for Jevonite and Haggle for Tulaberries missions at Orias in Orias sector. The areas where doff missions are found seems to be crammed in right on sector borders, or more easily found orbiting some unimportant stars. I haven't found them near useful places like Bajor, Defera or New Romulus.
On the other hand, DS9 and its resident Ferengi trader are flat out missing the missions ilithyn mentioned.
In the rare and random spots where the assignment list will correctly update, haggle assignments can still be found in the zones they used to show up in. Actually finding those spots where the list updates, of course, is incredibly tedious as it appears to be totally random. They can also be found from the trader on a tuffli/cell ship if you visit the bridge in one of those zones.
