Can't begin certain DOFF assignments

Playing a relatively new Romulan character, and I've noticed that any duty officer assignment that awards crafting resources has the "Begin" button greyed out, but only if the assignment is classed "Uncommon" or greater. I've unlocked the R&D system for this character, is there something else I'm missing?

    I have the same issue I think on a newish Fed tac toon.....

    Level 19 and certain DOff missions that reward crafting items won't let me start... and yes I have all the required officers and or items for the mission. I can go into plan but the begin button is grey... I tried switching DOffs and quadrazillion checked to make sure I wasn't missing something, but nope it just refuses to let me start :(

    Well at least it isn't only me.. I thought my meds weren't as effective as they used to be and I couldn't understand the doff missions anymore :rolleyes:

    On a side note I don't have this issue on my VA toons.....

    For R&D missions, i think it's based on your current level, and your skill. cause i know i got all the components for a weapon and its not letting me select A doff to put on the mission.

    Maybe I'll look closer into that skill thing... maybe they should say that in the mission requirements... or dare I say it give some sort of explanation or tutorial to the crafting/doff missions, instead of throwing hologram doffs at you and saying have at it :cool:

    I'm pretty sure when I played it on Tribble there was at least a small tutorial.. what happened to that?



    *I checked and see nothing about a skill requirement... all of the missions that are common work fine but uncommon on up do not.

    See if this pic gives anyone a clue as to what I'm missing..

    Yeah... I had heard the 15 holo Doffs referred to as the "R&D Tutorial Reward", but I haven't seen any kind of tutorial aside from the little pop over boxes which are easily dismissed by mistake. Since there's no "place" to go for crafting anymore with the shutdown of Memory Alpha, there's not even an NPC you can ask about it.

    I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the new crafting system at all. These are the same assignments that awarded materials in the old system, though I can't remember far enough back to say whether or not I had the same issue back then. If I had to guess, it's an issue with the Science/Exploration Commendation level?

    I've never heard of levels in a commendation category locking you out of assignments. I'd imagine there's some kind of bug happening related to converting those assignments over to rewarding the new materials.

    There is already a thread in the "Bug Reports" forum about this. The Devs need info in order to track down the problem ...

    As I said in the OP, I wasn't aware this was a bug, nor reporting it as such. I just assumed there was a condition I wasn't filling to start the mission.
