I have a DSC character at level 55 and had ran out of the normal missions for duty officers. I my staff just that bad, at 26, so I think i am missing some packs. the rest at this level have 49-50. I can still do assignments from BOff but no missions are available or with met requirements.

    The idea is to expand your boff roster over time so that you can do more of the doff missions with a higher degree of success.

    You'll get your last doff pack for free at about level 64, but it's often worth while to purchase a small number of green or blue doffs with some of the right characteristics (and none of the wrong ones) for common missions such as Diplomacy: Entertain Foreign Dignitaries or Third Party Peace Talks. I usually need a bartender, entertainer, chef, and security officer. Peaceful and tactful good, aggressive and unruly bad.

    One of the best things you can do is go to Starfleet Academy on a regular basis and see the Personnel Officer by Lt Ferra as well as the two cultural exchange officers behind the same building (Andorian and Tellarite) and the Vulcan in the courtyard. These missions will help you doff for more doffs to expand your roster as they reward doffs. You can always sell extra whites on the exchange. There's also missions in sector space and in the nebulas that reward doffs as well as and doffs rewarded after you complete each rank from Lt Ferra. Be sure to check your department heads while flying around in sector space, and keep an eye out for Cryptic's Junior Officer Appreciation weekend event.

    As you fill out your roster with a wider variety of doffs, more missions will come up with met requirements and doffing becomes much better ^^

    I think you can only temporally run out of doff missions in that you've used up all missions avaible in that locations at that time, however you'll get a new set of missions soon enough and many missions can be repeated for as many times as you want so you'll never truly run out of missions.

    Also what missions you have avaible depends on where you are located at least in the quadrant level, so switching quadrants should provide you with new missions. You should remember that you don't have to fill all the traits in the missions UI just enough that you got a reasonble chance of success, what is reasonble chance depends on the mission but it's always less then 100% demanded.

    i think what happened is I went through the roster and saw duplicates and got rid of them. maybe that why it didn't show missions for a few days, or it was a bug. either way they are back.

    There are some areas like New Romulus where there are always 0 area missions, so if you've begun all of the personal missions you will "run out" of missions until you change maps or get new personal missions.

    I wouldn't recommend 'getting rid' of any doffs quite yet, duplicates included.

    You can see other missions but don't have the doffs available for the completion of the missions.

    If you only have 26 doffs you are just getting started :) This is why you can't do those other missions.

    See my post above for missions at Starfleet Academy that award doffs (and other suggestions) so that you can expand your doff roster and their quality to allow you to do more doff missions with a higher chance of success.

    Here are some other sources of free doffs:

    If you go to your bridge and find the person or console to "contact duty officers" you can also sometimes get the Espionage mission to "Instigate Defection" which rewards a doff.

    Refugees can be used for recruitment missions, Sol space + Earth Spacedock (Fed) and First City (KDF) have them often, and there are other locations for recruiting in sector space.

    In the Alpha quadrant you can exchange a prisoner for the chance at a doff.

    Once in a while there are "duty officer recruitment" weekends where you can play a mini-game to get doffs.

    Generally I do missions around Badlands, best place for dilithium farming and what not but most of the doff missions that can give you doff's probably aren't available anymore. Missions like the catian field flight mission gives you carrier doffs, the strike against fugitive network mission gives you blue and purple prisoners which you can exchange during the mission Exchange prisoners with the dominion and can give you blue and purple doffs. As well as the data chip doff mission can give you doffs.

    There was a way to get all the borg doffs but no idea if it is still available. So check out the wiki and hunt them down. Also as a tip its really good for dilithium farming to farm around the badlands in the cardassia sector.
    Even god rested. No work ethic.
