When I logged in today, I was provided a new tutorial referring to the assignments tab. I forget the EXACT details, but I was told to begin a new assignment at around step four or five. I complied with the instructions when they suddenly stopped appearing, leaving me wondering what to do next. There are around 15 steps in this tutorial, meaning there were ten more when they stopped.
I have logged in one some of my other characters and they all receive the same messages stating that they have received and completed a mission called "First creation".
I am unsure if anyone else is experiencing this same issue, but any assistance in understanding would be most appreciated.

I went through most of it, but it abruptly terminated about halfway through - before getting to anything related to R&D (it covered most of the doffing changes before it stopped). As it had stopped, I started the assignment.
When the assignment completed, the assignment re-appeared as an available assingment in the current map. Thinking I could run through the tutorial again, I tried it. It would only let me run the assignment again and again - no tutorial.
When I changed zones, the tutorial assignment went away.
Another problem I noted in the tutorial - it said that doff assignments were available in all public maps. I got all excited and checked - this is still not the case. Current Map had no assignments on Risa. Probably still none on Nimbus III, etc... The wording should be changed to "many public maps", or preferably, doff assignments added to maps that don't have them. This would be very confusing to new players, scratching their heads and wondering why no assingment appears.
My other characters didn't get the tutorial at all.

Good point and I guess it proves that the system needs to be removed. I mean, this very thing was the reasoning behind removing the Exploration clusters and their missions. New players getting lost and left scratching their head wondering what to do next. So if this new system is doing essentially the exact same thing that the explore maps were doing, well then...
On a serious note, I too got the tutorial on the first character I logged in yesterday, got to step 5 and then it disappeared never to return. Upon logging in my other alts (23 total) none of the others got the tutorial.
Broken and not up to par with the rest of the content of the game. Sound familiar?

I'd prefer it get fixed than removed, but that was my mindset on Exploration. The excitement of finding the doff revamp was FINALLY going to add assignments to all public maps, and the subsequent letdown of finding that no, no that's not what's happening was a serious disappointment.
I've always found the maps with no "Current Map" assignments with a local flair (Nimbus, etc) confusing and immersion-breaking. When I was a new player, I WAS confused about why some places had assignments, and others didn't (as opposed to the star clusters, they did not CONFUSE me, sometimes crappy missions, but never confused). ESPECIALLY since one of the actual missions on Nimbus has a doff assignment that is mandatory. A doffing revamp would have been the perfect time to address that. Instead...well, I wasn't terribly surprised.
Oh, me too. I absolutely don't want DOffing removed from the game. It was just a bit of a joke, considering what they'd just done to the explore clusters and their reasoning.
They are working on getting sorting into the new UI, so I haven't given up all hope.
Yet.

Found this thread with the Googles... It's 2015... still not fixed... It's not just confusing to new players, this can be a bit confusing for returning players as well, those who were familiar with the old crafting system and not the new one, who set out for Memory Alpha to relax and craft, only to find it's gone. Much like other content that was cut from the game for rather poor reasons.
