I'm actually one of those DOFFing people. I don't have the energy to seriously play every night after I get home from work. Some nights...yeah, I just want to click buttons and shoot the breeze with people on my TeamSpeak. Other days I actually do feel like playing. It's nice to still have something to show for my "tired" nights.
Same. Sometimes it's just fun to kick back, click a few buttons, and get rewarded.
Can I suggest that while it may not change the game, be satisfying as exploration, or be terribly active, this whole thing might just be a nice perk for people who have ships?
That's along the lines I was thinking, too. It's not like the players who buy C-Store and Fleet-quality ships are getting the absolute best - the Event ships actually seem to be the best. So the whales will just have a more well-rounded roster, while everyone gets a chance at having the best ships. It's a nice reward for players who've spent money in the game, for sure. But there's clearly some thought given to the F2Pers.
All-around, I'm excited to see it hit Holodeck in its finished form.
My words were "COULD". My point is we are saddled with bad writing. Using said bad writing to form opinions like this will naturally be affected by the quality of said writing.
Well, that's your opinion. But any opinion on the game, the factions, the story, etc, is based on the writing. So you can't really claim Point A, when ignoring Points B through Z also exist in the game world.
Just had a thought... I'm willing to bet that the whole 'Account Reward Claim' thing we got during the Summer Event (Rep>Events>Store>Account Reward Claim) that made ships from the Summer, Winter and Anniversary Events account-wide unlocks if you earned them on any character was done with the upcoming Admiralty system in mind...
Addendum;
Out of curiousity, has there been anything said about how Romulan players will be affected by the ability to use allied (Fed or KDF) ships for tiers 1 through 4? Will they have access to those 'cards' in addition to those of 'normal' Romulan ships?

Everybody wants to be an admiral until it's time to do admiral TRIBBLE.
It's a desk job! Push that paper!
Admiral 'stuff'... you mean like getting bossed around by Commanders/Subcommanders and Captains/Commanders everywhere we go like we were still Lieutenants puttering about in our little starter ships?

Well, to be fair, all those Commanders know we were in the Academy last year. We're like the Anti-Harry Kim [Voyager Version].

They should be able to as cards are granted based on whatever ship they commission, so if they can field the ship they can use it in the admiralty system.
So, really, Romulans aren't as disadvantaged as they first seem since they can draw on their allies' ships to make up for any deficits in their own Warbirds' stats.

Kinda ironically, for the lower tier regions Romulans will have access to more science ships then a Federation Captain, since they can also resort to the 2 lower tier Orion Science Vessels... Of course, at Tier 5+ that stops hard .

But not the T5 or T6 ships. Event ships add a lot of variety. Sarr Theln is really good here. Especially since it's special power is a maintenance reduction.
Just a bit of info:
At least one type of assignment can grant you a free one-use admirality ship (so no, you won't get a ship to fly for free, don't start dreaming). Got myself a blue T6 Guardian Cruiser (66 ENG, 21 TAC, 21 SCI with a 2.5x bonus from TAC) with just a success.

I wonder if the Tuffli and Suliban Freighters will also have a place in the Admirality system...
Suliban has a "Card", Tuffli has not.
Neither do any of the 'Small Craft' (Shuttles, Runabouts and Fighters) have 'cards', from what I understand.

I played some on the admiralty system on tribble. I like it, but it would be better if you could see exactly what you got as rewards for completing a mission. (On tribble, I completed one and it said I was awarded one of several packets selected at random but not which one I acctually got.)

I think there is a bug there. It might be that it just shows what you might get.
Oh, man, I can hear the complaints already if the rewards from the Admiralty system turn out to be random or blind rewards...

The rewards are not random, you get EC, experience points, dilithium and R&D materials, completing the tours of duty awards 2 spec points and 30k dilithium
Yeah, like the DOFF system you know what you're going to get, but not know what you'll get if you get a critical.
Only thing I really hope they do add, is additional methods of getting rid of Federation Prisoners you get from these Admirality missions. Ones that are just as profitable as the KDF Prisoner missions.
If you're doing missions that give prisoners as Fed, you're doing the wrong ones. IMO, Negotiate Prisoner Exchange is decent enough. There are also some Fleetbase projects that use up prisoners.

if necessary you do have the option to dismiss prisoners. It's a sub-optimal choice most of the time, but if you need to clear space NOW....

Or selling them on the exchange, Fed prisoners tend to go for a little more than KDF prisoners because they are a tad more rare.

a TAD?! you can't swing a dead targ without hitting a prisoner as a kdf player, but as a fed player, you're far more likely to find a drop of water in the middle of the sahara than you are finding A prisoner, never mind multiple
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"

Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
I like the the admiralty system, what I miss though is an overview to see how long each ship is still in maintenance. Would be great if you could add this.

According to some people who have tried it on Tribble and posted information on the STO Wiki, it's based on Tier.
Tier 1 - 10 minutes
Tier 2 - 80 minutes (1 hour, 20 minutes)
Tier 3 - 4 hours, 30 minutes
Tier 4 - 10 hours, 40 minutes
Tier 5 - 20 hours, 50 minutes
Tier 6 - 36 hours (1 day, 12 hours)

This does actually exist already. It's just placed in a slightly odd location, it's in the Roster tab rather than the Admiralty tab.

30k dilithium and 2 spec points earnable every 10 days for completing both tours of duty (repeatable).
Do like the sound of the rewards, but wish we could do all this through Gateway to take full advantage of it
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
An app for Doffing, R&D, reputation and admiralty would be cool.
