    Indeed. I started a thread in the Tribble forum yesterday about it. I understand it might be exploitable for the dilithium. But there REALLY NEEDS to be a way to tell the difference between a fleet doff or a regular doff on the exchange. Maybe the easiest way is to make the fleet doffs bound and untradable so they can't be listed in the first place. This would at least be preferable to the situation now.

    NO, this is not the answer either. The odds of getting a FLeet Doff you can actually use go WAAAAY down after you have already obtained your fill of Ground Warfare, Space Warfare, and Flight Deck Doffs. Beyond them, everything else is a real TRIBBLE shoot, it could take over a hundred of them to get the one or few you want or need. So what can you do with all the others? As of now, you can't sell them, and you can't dismiss them for value.

    The only place you can dispose of them now is via the personel officer. If they are bound, we won't even be able to do that.

    You don't use them all the time anymore, sparky. They are now officially useless.

    But, good news: Its working as intended! :D



    LOL. :P

    From now on I ma looking for a fleet. This was the only way to put enough doffs in projects. 3 of us can't grind that much doffs. I is too much even for big fleets. not to talk about project which needs 30 or 60 of one kind of doffs.

    I will stop playing this game. They just searching ways to make us suffer.

    news flash: Dismissing them does not grant recruitment cxp or dilithium now. All you can do is trash them for zero worth.

    I thought about doing it myself just to help make the point of what a stupid idea this is. But alas I can't bring myself to. Besides plenty of people are already doing it without a clue in the world as to the damage potential.


    That's the thing...

    There's probably many folks out there who have no clue that these FD's are useless for Starbase projects and will put them on the Exchange...

    And yet again, there are probably just as many who do and don't care, as long as they get their EC's.

    Yes i know I can read you know

    Recycle as in DELETE

    if they are of NO use they have no value and must be removed to make space for ones that are

    of course anyone selling these booby traps on the exchange should be life banned from the exchange

    I am so angry. I will stop playing game, not because of doffs. Because this just one more STUPID idea, ONE MORE USELESS add. JUST one more **** in our faces.

    Right now, I am waiting for the inevitable "Don't blame Cryptic, they are just following PWE orders" post.... Well I am finding it harder and harder to seperate the two "factions".

    you can read but yet you don't know what recycle means? Something recycled is returned to a system to be reprocessed for gain - either financial or by preserving resources.

    If you mean you are going to trash them, say you are going to trash them.

    and yeah - the exchange is now frought with traps of 300K DOFFs that don't do anything. Yay!

    and as always, its working as intended. Huzzah! :D

    Great they just killed the whole starbase economy.

    People will buy fleet doffs from the exchange and realize they got ****ed over. They'll thus stop to buy doffs at all. Then they'll run into problems filling projects so eventually they'll just say "To hell with it" and will quit their starbases.

    Good job Cryptic, really good job. Since Heretic left they really don't have a clue about what to do with the doff system.

    In protest to this TRIBBLE imma go flood the exchange with them >:) whose with me ? down with the system ! fight the power !

    I am selling 1000's at the redonkulous price of 500 ec so that it gets around to people fast that they are no good and 500 ec won't be missed by anyone - but if it saves them from buying a 200k one then great

    Concerns are mounting about why the fleet doff's cannot be used to contribute to fleet projects. Even worse, the fact that they can be posted on the exchange but you cannot detect any difference from a fleet Doff and a normal doff making what you are purchasing on the exchange a complete unknown.

    This is a mounting concern for many people and I think it would be good to have an official response from a developer as to "working as intened" or not.

    Thank you!

    Why can't i use fleet base doffs for fleet base projects. Ever since the patch, they won't go in. Is this on purpose or is this a glitch that will be fixed? If this is done on purpose what do we use common fleet doffs for?:mad:

    If they are going to be stupid and not allow us to use fleet Doffs for SB projects, could they at least make them identifiable on the exchange, i mean come on, isn't that BASIC common sense??????

    Moved to the Duty Officer System forum, so the folks who deal with that system are more likely to see it. Expect some inbound thread merges, too.

    Man, why don't you just type "moved out of general discussion so it will hopefully quietly die unnoticed by the vast majority of the community this effects...."?

    We all are going to assume thats why its moved. The devs are just as capable of clicking on "todays posts" as the rest of us are.

    Understood and I apologise. The problem is those discussions get heated and messages get lost, while those with the power and/or authority to address our concerns get tired of reading thru the rhetoric and just move on.

    The community is starting to very much feel like PWE does not care about it's player base. There are only a few ways we can voice our concerns, here in these forums, or by simply not spending anymore money or time.

    Guess which way I'll be voicing mine going forward?
