Guide to T4 Commendation DOFFs (FED)

Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Deciding which DOFF to get from Ferra isn't always the easiest choice, not because there aren't actively good or bad choices, but because we have to compare the jobs available with our existing crew, and then with their traits, and determine if the DOFF is worth using or not. For many of us, it isn't readily apparent which DOFF traits are good or bad for a given job type. Hence, a guide.
Criteria:
I consider there to be 3 fundamental uses for a DOFF
(1) Its listed profession and jobs that call for that profession
(2) Supports
(3) Other jobs which are (relatively) easy to hit 0% total fail chance, and thus for which you will actively want DOFFs who do *not* match the chosen profession to maximize crit chance. (Support is actually a specific example of this, but its a general enough want it deserved its own number).
With regards to 1, each job has desirable and undesirable traits, especially if you focus on 'worthwhile' assignments. I do not endeavour to give such a general guide here, but paying attention to my recommendations below will certainly lead to insight on the matter.
With regards to 2, the necessary traits are Efficient Peaceful Tactful Teamwork and NOT Aggressive Unruly. Profession of the DOFF is irrelevant.
With regards to 3, the notable assignments one might concern oneself with are as follows:
-Military Offensive (Aggressive Resilient Teamwork; -Peaceful)
-Additional Military Base (Efficient) (Wants TAC, ENG, quartermaster, any, any)
-Listening Post (Efficient Teamwork) (Wants Technician, Astrometrics, any)
-Infiltrate Orion Syndicate (Telepathic Unruly) (Must be Cunning non-Civilian)
There will invariably be other assignments which meet this criteria, but these are the more notable. Since Additional Military Base only wants one trait that is in abundance among Support DOFFs, we're going to ignore it.

Daprirn: Efficient Stubborn Teamwork Unscrupulous Systems Engineer

==T4 Military==
Zucanz: Congenial Efficient Honorable Stubborn Energy Weapons Officer
-Evaluation: Indifferent EWO
Tion Sorahn: Congenial Resilient Stubborn Teamwork Security Officer
-Evaluation: Bad Sec Off, Good Mil Offense
Zasrassi: Aggressive Efficient Resilient Unruly Assault Squad Officer

-Evaluation: Good PWO
Sugrinn: Congenial Cunning Teamwork Unscrupulous Quartermaster
-Evaluation: Great Quartermaster, Good Listening Post
Clear Choice: Sugrinn
Might also choose: Tion Sorahn
A little explanation here - Tion Sorahn is actually worth more for Mil Offense than Zasrassi, because assault squad officers will *reduce crit chance* after fail goes to zero. Also, getting good assault squad officers is easy off Betreka Support, so you won't actually be needing good assault squad officers.
Similiarly, C'Tarrsa is a great PWO, but Hunter Ikrin (from Khazan Support) is Agg Eff and you'll have piles of him.

M'relna: Aggressive Efficient Emotional Stubborn Security Officer
-Evaluation: Useless
Kerig: Cunning Unscrupulous Assault Squad Officer
-Evaluation: Useless
Clear choice: Foeixache
Might also take: Achik Trovil. Sucnir is unlikely with other good QMs available in other categories.
Ditto.
Just realized that there's not a single bartender on this list.
+1 to that!
Actually, anyone flying a kittycarrier should hold off on choosing a purple doff from Military. Fed Flight Deck Officers are in the pipleine, according to the devs. If Military is itemized Fed side the way it is for the KDF, one of the choices here will become a very rare Flight Deck Officer.
This will probably remain the best option for getting a very rare FDO for a good many people without deep pockets of EC's.
Excellent post!! I had recently picked up a few of these guys while rounding out my DOFF roster and was planning on posting about the two traders (how poor they are for trader missions) and how Kerig only has two traits and M'relna is pretty useless...
Heretic, is it possible that these above could go for some retraining
Thanks for the info!

This entry is really bad and should be changed since this doff gives 3 crit traits for a defection and is the best one for the job.
regards,
Mr. J
I agree, he is really great for Defection.
Note that the Research Lab Scientists might have more value to you for leveling R&D.
Note that R&D was completely different the time this guide was written *smile*
its dead , Jim..really .
