Very Rare Boff "Science Achievement" Assignment yields White Boff on Success

[Archived Post]

So I got a Very Rare Shipboard Doff assignment called "Science Achievement: Saurian Bridge Officer"

I got all giddy... thinking this was my chance to finally have an Efficient Saurian Boff... and after 2 days I see Success and receive... a White quality Saurian science officer candidate with Basic abilities. It was a bit of a letdown.

So after this... I re-read the entire entry for the assignment and now see in the description for the assignment:
Accept a common senior science officer application for a transfer to your crew.

I think that for a Very Rare assignment... this is a rather lackluster reward when we have Rare assignments that usually yield Uncommon and Rare Bridge Officers.

The mission description clearly says:

"Accept a common senior science officer application for a transfer to your crew."

I've highlighted the critical part...

Yes... and as I thought I had pointed out in my original post... I re-read the description and saw that. I would have added emphasis on the "common" in my original post, but I didn't want to alter how it appeared when I first read it and how I had originally missed that significant detail.

This is simply feedback that I feel the reward quality for the assignment doesn't fit with the rarity of the assignment itself, especially when compared to more common recruitment assignments that usually reward far higher quality rewards.

Yeah, but this assignment has a 100% success rate and doesn't require any doffs.

And it demands 75 EC even and is 2 full days long ... sorry, but we get blue and purrple buffs and duffs nearly every day, so why would we need a common buff? Some of those Very Rare assignments are just 20 hours long and give at least 74 Recruitment XP (around that, not very sure). I only do the 20 hour ones, as I need Recruitment XP, butt I never do the 2 day ones.

From a 20 hour one, I even got a blue and a green buff once, so it's not always white. :) However, I think the rewards for those supposedly VERY rare achievement missions should be a lot better, at least a purrple buff or duff, or a cute amount of CXP.

I agree. These assignments could use a review pass.
