Officer of the watch dailies

As a Fleet leader I thought the first mission I got was quite appropriate. It was the "Inspect the Cadets" mission. But today I got a little upset with the officer of the watch, when he told me I needed to go and inventory some weapons lockers. I'm sorry I am a Fleet Admiral such menial tasks are beneath me. I've fought hundreds of battles, made first contact more times than I can count, and negotiated with some of the most hostile factions in the Galaxy. And after all that I am expected to inventory some weapons lockers.

Ok, then think of it as a morale thing. The people who work 'under you', since you are an Admiral, will be more apt to do a good job, if they see that you are willing to do the work that they do.

Part of a CO's job is to make sure that all elements of the ship/starbase are running smoothly. While we *may* take time to sit in our office(s) and catch up on paperwork, there are times when we have to get our hands dirty and do things ourselves.
Things like recalibrating the phaser rifles could be a training exercise; new protocols come in from Starfleet Security and you make sure that your senior officers know what is supposed to be done, so they can tell their departments.
If you are roleplaying, you have 2 options:
1.) Reject the mission since it is unter your pride to do. As an Admiral you have every right to do so. You can stamp your foot and yell at the officer to still give you the fleet marks... it would be good RP... :-)
2.) Create a different costume at the tailer and call it "Lt. Soandso". Change his face. Switch to this costume and do the mission. Since now you are playing a Lt. the mission would be appropriate. And as having multiple toons on one account is standard, having multiple identities in one char might not be that unusual. (I have tons of those)

I received a daily to locate a missing PADD. Which had fallen off the communications grid and couldn't be tracked. Should I come across it, I was tasked with entering a unique code on the PADD, so as to make it detectable again. I did locate the PADD. Although, the resolve was instantaneous. Just return to the Officer of the Watch.
What I missed was the step to actually enter the code which the OoW was rather specific about. Perhaps a multiple choice of three codes to choose from?
In all sarcastic humor:
And how many changeling spies have you discovered? What if one of them was in charge of your locker inventories??? :P
As far as Starfleet knows, the only rank they can trust is Vice Admiral, heck, 5 VAs (or BG Klingon equivalents) are mandatory deployments on certain anti-Borg deployments (what we commonly call Elite STFs), and this might explain why the military has ballooned to 50,000 Vices...

Please do this, almost nothing would make me happier.
Well maybe some day I'll get access....
I only battled the ship for a moment and it warped out.
I then could not either restart the mission or turn it in.
Not sure if this has already been reported but...
Well, so I read the manifest and it goes like this:
Freighter 1:
Freighter 2:
Freighter 3:
Freighter 4:
Freighter 5:
Yep, all blank! Nothing listed.
So, I go over to talk to the freighters via console, and it tells me to select items to requisition from each freighter. 1) Officer of the watch didn't tell me to requisition anything, he told me to check the inventory to make sure they were carrying the right things. That's not quite the same as requisitioning things from the freighters. 2) Since the manifest was blank, I have no idea what to request from each freighter. I tried randomly clicking different items from the same freighter like 10 times, but finally gave up and submitted a bug request. If there was something else I was supposed to do, it really should have been made more clear. The Fed side inspect cadets was fine...
That is, I got an officer of the watch mission that had me flying around to the different objects in our system around our base. However, when I beamed out I got beamed to sector space and had to then fly back into the starbase space to do the mission. I'd rather have not had to map-transition twice, but just beam out once and be in the right place...
More-or-less it needs to be similar to Starfleet Academy where you can beam to ESD, Earth Space or Sector Block. For that matter, it would be nice if ESD has beam out options for Earth Space OR Sector Space and not just Earth Space. Heck, throw SFA on the list too. If they're all in the same area, shouldn't they all have the same basic beaming options? Seems silly to have inconsistent menus that way.
When I got the mission to check the Tactical satellite, I went to the transporter pad. There was an option to return to ship, and that sent me into the space station system not sector space.
Ha, the code is an old tech support reference...ID-ten-tango....ID-10-T....ID10T.
An ID10T error occurs when the user is an idiot. :P
EDIT: Oh, and while ppl might complain about this being under their dignity....do you not notice that the first thing the Officer asks is "Don't you have a job to do?", as in, YOU are the one approaching the Officer of the Watch for work. Don't feel the work is appropriate? Don't ask for it; some redshirt will get eaten by a grue while looking for that missing PADD, never fret.
He should get the fleet marks for it, too. Posthumously of course. :P
