Non violent missions for a pacifist captain?

It's an idea that has been knocking around in my head for a while. A Captain that refuses to use guns or offensive capabilities themselves, on their ship and their Boffs. It could be an interesting alternative to the usual run n' gun, or the worst idea in recent memory...I haven't decided yet 
It's a play style which comes with many problems regarding levelling (especially now the clusters have been removed, some of those randomly generated missions could be completed easily without firing a shot), so I'm wondering if the Foundry would be a useful tool here.
So my question is, are there such things as non violent Foundry missions? Would they be 'tagged' in the description if they were?
My other questions relate to EXP since the idea here is to play potential non violent Foundry content as a means to level my character. So do you gain EXP for completing a Foundry mission without the officer reports daily? And if not, when does the daily become available? I suspect it's only available at 50, useful as a means of Dil but obviously useless for a levelling toon.
Once I hit level 11 Doffs are unlocked and gaining EXP would become much easier. Slow pace sure but guaranteed. Perhaps the new crafting system grants it too, but I'm not sure on that one - not read much into it.
Any help would be appreciated, feel free also to suggest missions and I could put a list together or something. Oh and here is a build I have been playing with, to give a better idea of what I'm going for.

but missions with no combat at all would be a problem as i think to many ppl enjoy killing things :rolleyes:

I am developing the tiki monkey boarding party 3.
I am become death. Death by rabid tiki monkey invasion.
So mote it be.
Bravo for thinking outside the box.
"The Needs of the Few" and "Return to Terra Nova."
But I'm not sure the tagging system will be completely helpful. If a single player accidently tags a mission as combat (even though it isn't) it will still be counted has having combat for (Story not Combat) tag searches.
My best suggestion is to try one of KF's 2 non-combat. Try one of mine or do a search for "no combat" or "non-combat" in the foundry.
Baz's Non-combat missions:
Starfleet Experimentation
Hidden Intelligence
Ghosts of the Polmar Ree (Ghosts is a work based on the mission of a different foundry author Alimac30. City of the Polmar Ree. City has combat but Ghosts doesn't but I hope I have provided enough back story for those that haven't played City)
