"Surgically Alter an Agent for Insertion at Federation Outpost". Security officer I ended up using was a Gorn.

Okay, now what the flippin' flap is he going undercover as?

    On that note I find on my crew the Tholians are the best to be sending to races on Bajor...

    Though I wonder if your agent was surgically altered to being a bodybuilder modelling the latest in alligator themed wear, complete with claws and spikes on the "gloves" and "boots"... :P
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    I fondly remember the first time I did the assignment to play a Stratagema Master. I sent a white human with no desirable traits, and got a critical success.

    You might say, I busted the guy up... :cool:

    I always got a kick out of the winter event doff assignments. Sending Shakespeare and my horta to test the effectiveness on thermal outerwear was an amusing image.

    Please reconsider ARC. Please make it optional, at the least. PLEASE.
    It seems the vast majority of your most active players (forum regulars) hate the idea... and while that's a small subset of the playerbase, I think it's an important constituency.
    THE PLAYERS DO NOT WANT THIS.

    * Send Hortas, Exocomps, Holograms and Android DOFFs for drinks on the town.

    * ANYTHING involving shore leave on Drozana Station. "What?! Drozana?! NOOOOOOO!!"

    * Execute Changeling Spy -- it's is frigging HILARIOUS when I send someone who couldn't possibly be a changeling... Excomp, hologram...

    * It's also frigging hysterical to sed Hortas on just about any survival, EVA or martial-arts training mission.

    Do the Chef and Bartending chains on your ship with a terrible doff. Some of the failure/disaster messages are great.

    Who would send an Exocomp on a one-way Doff mission?

    I enjoy using Diplomatic Immunity to wander into the T'Ong Nebula and Neutralize Klingon Interference. This is also known as "invading Klingon space".

    Are you implying that if the human were not white he would not have won?

    Move turbo lift to highest position.

    Put your legs into a stable position on the ladder, then lean back with torso into turbolift shaft and stretch out arms.
    Call for turbo lift cabin to go from Deck 1 to Deck 37.

    All pretty standard protocols for the routine maintance, except that you:

    Slip and fall? Maybe they accidentally cross circuited something? Kinda like when Scotty almost poked an EPS relay in TNG.

    No, apparently the mistake is one by your counselor(s). The doff was clearly suicidal.

    I just figured the TRIBBLE forgot lockout-tagout and got fried when somebody turned the EPS conduit back on.

    My favorite is -

    A Night on the Town.

    I sent a Bajoran, a Cardassian, a Jem'Hadar, a Romulan, and a Klingon. I firmly expected a critical failure with 'And it took three divisions of security officers from a starship to restore order'.

    They came back with a critical success, and had a marvelous time.

      Mebbe the contraband was a Houdini Mine? And it exploded after it was confiscated?
