I don't know if this has been asked already, I couldn't see it from skimming though previous posts though.

I can see that players have an active duty officer roster, how many DoFF's can you have on your roster though and is it effected by the player rank and or ship? For example, you mention that a player can have DoFF's on your active roster and these will give buffs to your ship. If I'm an Admiral, will I be able to have more DoFF's slotted in than a captain, or will the ammount of Doff's I can have slotted in be dependant on the ship I am flying?

If either of these cases are how the syetm works, is there a rough guide as to how many Doff's you can have in your active duty roster at a time (in regards to giving you buffs).

Sure, why not.

NOW, can we make belts, boots, hats, & overcoats out of Gorns if they get "eaten"? No point in wasting the hide .

Can I throw a DOFF in the brig? Will DOFFs ever betray us or do anything random that creates internal issues for us to handle? Will they ever defect or "go native" if I send them on a mission? Will any of their missions be personal in nature (needs a vacation, spiritual journey, honeymoon)?

There is a prisoner category. I imagine of the enemy faction, and a mission for prisoner exchange or something similar.

thats where i always assumed the BOffs i dismissed went, nom nom

If we have an assignment that requires 10 Industrial Replicator commodities, do we have to have them present on the ship's inventory when we begin or can they be taken from my bank, similarly to the way samples are pulled from the bank during crafting. I assume this is going to work like crafting but I wanted to confirm.

The number of duty officers on your active roster will probably scale with rank from around 10-ish to around 20-ish. They will probably be split between Space and Ground. The number will not be linked in any way to the ship you are flying, and if you switch ships your duty rosters will automatically move with you.

The number of duty officers on your reserve roster is currently planned to be about 100 with some capacity for increasing it in size - the details on that are still being worked out.


Duty officers will not do anything random, but things can happen in the form of assignments. For example, if you do the "Execute Mutineers" assignment on the KDF side, you'll lose some duty officers of your choice but gain a lot of Honor. Similarly, you can attain prisoner duty officers of the other faction with which several other assignments will use for prisoner exchanges, interrogations and the like.

As for personal assignments, kind of - you will have opportunities to send them to tournaments or engineering conferences or shore leave, but the assignments won't be specifically tailored to them by name.


I will have to check on this - I had assumed they needed to be in your ship's inventory, but hadn't considered the crafting bank possibility. Depends on the code.

Epic... EPIC! XD

Mwahahaha.... this sounds delightful.

That's awesome! Thanks for adding that KDF Kewlness.
