Wanted: DOFF Storage Facility

... because I don't want to (ab)use mail/exchange just to shuffle my DOFFs around.
Even if DOFF trade/selling shall be encouraged, DOFF management is often quite painful when you are close to the limit. This can happen even with 400 DOFFs.
The results are known, some people stored excessive amounts of DOFFs and all other kinds of items in the mail before it got limited.
Think of the JHAS promo in combo with the DOFFpacks. Would have opened some more but didn't want to throw away DOFFs like there is no tomorrow and even Starbase DOFF projects were filled during this time extremely quickly.
-> We got the Account Bank and it made things a lot more convenient. Now I would like to request a similar DOFF storage for a modest number of DOFFs:
The DOFF Cryostasis chamber. For 10 DOFFs, up to X for $$$. This could be a fleet or personal project.

And if I may be bold to go on a tangent................Pet / Tribble Storage as well.

Um, that was the original intention of the DOFF system.......... to collect them and to trade them.
And having 400 DOFF is lack-of-management? Excuse me? There are plenty of us who spent years improving our collection of DOFFs where we have 400 Very Rare and Unique DOFFs, and it gets harder with the introduction of new DOFF packs. So you sir don't have the right to tell people that they don't know how to manage our DOFF system because of how the game was designed.
Also, don't double post. That's what the edit button is for.

"Hi, glad you're on time this morning. Look, we're a bit long on staffing right now, but rather than lay anyone off, we're going to stick you in this cryostasis chamber for a few weeks. Maybe months. Then when we have more workload, we'll thaw you out again. How cool is that?"
"Ummm, ya know, if it is just the same, I'd rather not be a popsicle."
"Oh c'mon now, don't be difficult. It's not as though you're really important anyway."
"Ah, my family might not see it that way."
"Look, this is for the good of the company. Don't make me call security..."

No one forces you to buy Zen with $$$.
The game doesn't require 400 VR doffs on a single toon be it for assignments or bonuses. Case in point, a TAC captain has no need for a cannon doff if you're running 2 copies of the same boff power. You can only slot 1 Grav scientist so other than collecting Demeras for colonial crits, you waste space with too many.

The problem is, most people doffing (including myslef) were hoarding massive amounts of doffs in the mail system. We were never meant to store so many and it clearly was an exploit since we were circumventing their limit. They had all the right to take it away.
There is more to the DOFF system than just equipping them. :rolleyes:
There are certain DOFFs that are optimal for certain missions. For example, the New Romulan Historian, you don't just use any DOFF, you use a Romulan DOFF for they have all 3 critical. With the Summer Event, you gained better odds if you had a Biologist with a Seductive Trait. Winter Event DOFF missions have certain DOFFs that increase rewards significantly, especially that of the Winter Epohhs. When it comes to the Warp Core DOFF mission, it's best you use Paradan DOFFs.
And those leveling up the DOFF system, the more DOFFs, the faster you level up due to more missions being completed.
So because you think 200 is enough doesn't mean everyone else in the game have to. The DOFF system came before the Starbase and Reputation systems, so it's the Dev Team's responsibility, not ours, to make room for common DOFFs so we can donate to Starbase Projects.

On the upside, subscribers will (probably) get one set for free.

I'm aware. There is a problem then, in need of a solution. The demand for addiitonal non-active roster storage space exists, and we're asking for Cryptic to supply a method to deal with that.
It's not 725 zen. It's 725x3 to get to 400 roster spots. On one toon. For three toons you get as F2P its 2200x3 zen. 6600 zen is a ridiculous amount for storing non-active doffs. I would gladly pay 1450 zen for an account wide full roster unlock and/or a doff account bank.

Anyways, I suspect that a set of 100 account doff bank slots would cost around 1500 zen. I might be wrong. but if they add that feature it definately won't be free.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, let me break it down into more easily digested bites:
Problem: People have alot of doffs. Many than they don't use for missions regularly, if at all. There is a limited amounts of doffs you can have per character based on roster size. People want a way to store unused doffs (mostly white, mostly for starbase food) without using their limited amount of roster spots to do so.
With me so far?
Some have suggested that the solution to this problem is NOT additional storage or an account-wide holding facility, but to just buy more roster spots.
There are two counter arguments to this.
1) You can only expand your roster to 400. Many people have more than 400 doffs.
2) Expanding your roster to 400 costs 2200 zen. (@725 for 100 spots, multiplied by 3 as you can have a max of 400 roster spots)
2a) If you have more than one character, you need to spend that 2200 zen for each character, as the roster expansion is not account-wide. Therefore, if you're a F2P account with the standard 3 character slots, you need to pay 6600 zen for doff storage.
This is prohibitively expensive, and cumbersome to use.
Solution to above stated problem: people are requesting an account-wide doff storage.
Make sense now?
