I don't mind the idea of having department heads but I would prefer that when you select the department heads tab you would get one long list of missions rather then having to work your way through each department in turn.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

That kind of defeats the purpose. I wouldn't be oppose to an option like that, but some of us would rather have the missions separated into different departments rather than scroll through a bajillion missions on one page.
How the Devs see Star Trek, apparently:
Star Trek: The Original Grind
Star Trek: The Next Grind
Star Trek: Deep Space Grind
Star Trek: Voyage to the Grind

the only thing I use department heads for is for another chance to get vary rare missions, It would be faster to scroll a long list looking for vary rare mission than it is opening each page. I don't understand how anyone can think opening 7 pages is better than having one page you can scroll unless maybe if you don't have a scroll mouse.

I don't, but that is not the only reason I don't want dep heads gone. I like having the missions grouped by type in there own little tab. It works for me, I know exactly where I'm going to get what I want.
Also I like setting my boffs in the various rolls. It's one of the few bits of of RP I enjoy.
It's not myfault ifyoufeel trolledbymyDisco ball...Sorry'boutit.

than a better option would be having a filter at the top that says show only science or diplomatic mission etc. I want to keep my department heads, I just don't want to keep the 7 pages of annoyance.
Just keep Department Heads. Auto-fill is bad enough. What's next? Just start everything automagically, without even consulting your crew?
Seriously, Department Heads are a good thing. I have much better doffs in certain areas than others: I want to be able to quickly, and logically, select what category to pick from.
Besides, with all these fugly Embassy boffs missing body parts (yes, Cryptic, you still haven't fixed that), Department Heads are the only time I actually get to see my beloved human crew.
no there is a RP point to them they are the department heads i assigned.
the first officer? that is the First officer i RP it is also the first Boff that character got way back int he old tutorial where you had a choice of your first boff. she is also based on an old pen and paper star trek RPG we ran (all my Boffs are)
so on and so forth i use it to keep track of who i have assigned as my department heads form character to character just because you see no point does not mean it is the same for all
This. While RP has gone underground in this game. When I jump in my ship. Mentally I still RP that Im a Commander and the Boffs that have been with me the longest are my Department heads. I could care less about the Doff assignments they give out. From my perspective theres very little immersive content left in this game and Id prefer people didnt take what little RPers can turn to away.

really you think menus are RP? I guess I missed the episode of star trek where Picard went through endless menus to tell his department heads what to do.
There is no current point to department heads...not even for RP. And to have all their doff missions funneled into current map/personal would be fan-flipping-tastic.
Cheers and thank you for reading/possible consideration
I disagree.
Thankfully, we didn't lose them in the last patch.
