    I can't remember when we got new DOFF assignments in the game at all. There is the rumour going on that new assignments can't be added for some reason, which is why neither the Delta nor the new Alpha quadrant have any.

    Actually, the Dyson areas have gotten different assignments, with the Undine area having a different set rewarding undine marks as opposed to dyson ones when it got accessible.

    I would much rather see some new doffs added to the game with actually good abilities, than more useless doff assignments. Doffs have lagged far behind the evolving abilities as the game changes. Look at all the kits and modules that have been added, and how almost none of the doffs modify any of them.

    While new assignments are indeed in order, I would also like it if the Doff assignments gave more/better rewards. At this point, doffing is completely pointless, while Admirality gives great rewards that are actually useful (seriously, I've probably gotten more EC out of Admirality than from selling stuff on the exchange). I almost never slot any Doff assignments, but I use Admirality everyday. Because right now, who needs doffing?

    DOff Chain Assignments: Colonial Survey

    System Survey - (Uncommon) Astrophysicist, Sensor, Conn
    Survey system for potential colonial development.
    Crit Success = Discover signs of an ancient civilization.
    Disaster = Encounter hostile spacebourne animals.

    Planetary Survey - (Common) Geologist, Biologist, Botanist, Security, Any
    Survey world for suitability for a colony.
    Crit Success = Discover intelligent aliens.
    Disaster = Incompatable native life forms render planet deadly to humanoids.

    Colony Site Survey - (Common) Quartermaster, Advisor or Trader, Any
    Investigate potential colony site.
    Crit Success = Discover easily mined mineral deposit.
    Disaster = Natural phenomena render site unsuitable for colonization.

    Any disaster or crit success result returns the chain to step 1

    ***

    I'd like new DOff Assignments, but my preference is to clean up and repair what we have.

    That was three years ago, though. Did the Terran Battlezone get DOFF assignments?​​

    I've definitely seen new ones in the recently added section of the Alpha Quadrant and in the Delta Quadrant, so they can still be added (or at least could when that map section was added). The fact that the map is so horribly broken with the refreshing of the list hiding them probably doesn't help make them visible very often however.

    Having said that, I agree with the poster above that the rewards need buffed for the most part. Only two reasons these days to doff is the higher dilithium pay out missions although they're most poor compared with Admirality and to get CXP to convert to Fleet Marks (again limited use if you're not in a fleet that isn't maxed out already).

    i remain a doffing enthusiast and support the addition of many new missions and chains and special rewards.

    Yeah, one of the ones in the Feringar Sector, An Opportunity of something, is bugged. Needs a Trader, you got 'em, the Assignment doesn't think so.
