Exchange misery

As a KDF player searching for things like duty officers and Bridge officers on the exchange is a miserable experience, piles and piles of Star Fleet junk to look through and squinting madly to see the tiny KDF banner which is mostly obscured by the portrait.

Has anyone heard if there are plans to do anything about this?

One simple expedient would be to add the tag KDF to the item so we could search for that specifically. I am sure there are more sophisticated ways of doing this, but surely that would be a start.

    That generally won't work. So, no they wouldn't work for those assignments. The Exchange needs some improvement, and better searchability especially for BOFFs and DOFF traits.

    I was very surprised when they added tabs for different categories of doffs, and then regrouped things like all ship stuff under 'ship equipment' and then 'ship consoles.' Great UI changes... but they never added a faction filter for faction-specific gear.

    I suppose part of it is Cryptic's disinterest in KDF.

    Found yesterday that you can no longer buy them for the opposing faction. My Feds tend to make EC while my KDF tend to make Dil... so I tend to buy stuff off the Exchange for my KDF with my Feds... but yesterday, I noticed it had changed when I went to buy some DOFFs for one of my KDF guys. Had to improvise to move EC to him and then make the purchase.

    It got me wondering if they had taken a first step toward the Exchange not showing such things for opposing factions if they couldn't be used...because not only is it annoying to have to scroll, but it's also annoying seeing the prices. Low KDF BOFF prices and low Fed DOFF prices vs. high Fed BOFF prices and high KDF DOFF prices.

    Try scrolling through 3 pages of 10EC Klingon Boffs...
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
