Temporal Missions Bugged?

I managed to get a couple of Temporal DOFF missions from the Lockbox with my stripend (hey you gotta manage when you have no money), and both these missions were total failures.
Whats odd, I had the Very Rare Officers with the Right Traits and didn't even show any chance of failure. Yet, here I am. Both of them failures and it really feels like those two Lockbox Keys I spent my savings on, was a total failure.
So mind looking into this?

Especially when you use up your monthly stripend and get nothing for your return but disappointment. And when the Stripend is all you got at a chance, its extra bitter sweet.
When you spend money in this game, you should get something in return, not an empty tray. Else it would be gambling and therefore illegal.
Ive given up doing these as a bad job unfortunetly as i have seen very little value in them (for my EC and for increasing and enhancing my roster)
You played the lock box game that Cryptic created for the soul purpose of getting you to keep playing the lock box game... and you expected fairness? They don't know how to balance anything, but they know how to milk their customers. I'm no fan of this "business model" but it's just another gambling sob story.
If your plea can fix this then more power to you. But the only real way to keep from getting burned is to stop playing:(.
It's terrible but easy, and these Borg are way cooler than the mess STO and Voyager left us.
BTW there's a lot of beacons on the exchange for 300k each.... if you don't want to buy keys....
One kinda buggy thing is that these missions apparently don't take up a slot.

I'll look into this.
Also, I was told there's a bug with the slotting on the Medical assignment, and will be correcting that shortly. If anyone notices other errors with these, please post them here.
This was done on purpose.

Because it was slotted at some time in the past when you had an unused slot. :cool:

Great Scott!!!
I know, but you know it's would be nice to actually win something nice for once. And when you have nothing but bad luck throughout your life, there is a point you have to believe luck will strike sooner or later or else... well I you can know what I'm about to say.
I knew it....... money down the drain I'll never see again.........

aha so u got my ticket the system works
Got two Berlinghoffs and one "nothing"
Hmmm.
I got the item from the lock box to do the "Lend Assistance to USS Defiant Descendants at Gaia Colony". When I queued up the mission, it showed what doffs I could use and also said I did not have the right doffs. I assigned two quartermasters to the mission. It said that I would get a Doff as a reward. When the mission completed, it completed with the status of "Moderate Success". I only got 397 Colonial xp. I never got the doff that was listed as a reward before I did the mission. I can get more than that from doing doff missions. Since I only got 397 xp, I consider that key a complete waste of money. I doubt I will do that again.

That is what I think is causing the most confusion on these missions. There is no fail, but there are 3 levels of success with only the two higher levels giving a Doff. The DOff missions have always showed what a basic success will give, in this cause, a DOff and some CXP. A moderate sucess is the lowest level for this mission and is the same as a failed mission of the other DOff missions, thus you don't get what is shown in the rewards section when starting the mission.
I do not know if this is a bug but I am going to assume it is.
I did the Temporal Colonial Mission which resulted with Critical Success. I was rewarded a 'Blue Doctor Martha Jones Smith' with Resolve, Congenial, Emotional, and Honorable traits.
I guess i'm confused as to a 'Special temporal Mission' would reward a regular blue Doctor on Crit success. Shouldn't it have been a special purple Doff???
Dr. Martha Jones Smith is not a regular blue doctor. My thought was that she is a referense to Dr. Martha Jones from the Dr Who episode Smith and Jones. In that episode the Doctor was posing as a patient named John Smith. Just merged her and Dr Who is all. I might be wrong though.
That is a temporal doff - those traits are otherwise unavailable together.
Are you certain? The only standard human permutation I've seen with congenial (outside of entertainers) is FF - congenial - unscrupulous, and the only one I've seen with emotional is FF - emotional - teamwork.
