I am very happy to see the added slots. I'm maxed out and need some elbow room. That said, the price is more than I'd like (I was thinking more 400CP/100), so I'll likely not buy the add-on for as many of my toons (right away at least (possibly on a sale, some day)). Cryptic would have made more money from me if they'd priced these less. I'm just saying.
Either way, I'll be buying at least 200 more slots (100 for each of my Main two characters).
Thanks!

More doff mission space would be something and would make a need for more duty officer space but...

To Staran and The Grand Nagus:
~ Why I need (want) more space ~
I'm a near-full-time-DOffer. I love the System. I just fly around exploring for Assignments and then when I find ones I like, I enjoy spending time trying to figure out just the right DOff for the job.
The problem is in the mission randomness and the versitility to handle whatever comes along. I search around enough I can usually get 3-4 of each Military and Espionage missions, for example. These are my Main characters' "focus". If I take those, I use up my Tactical and Security Officers, but sometimes also use up my Quartermasters. These missions often take 4-6hrs, 20hrs, sometimes upwards of 2 days.
While these longer ones are going, I fill out my assigment list with 30-60min Engineering, Science and Trade missions just to keep things flowing. Of course, the later would like to use Quartermasters and sometimes even Security.
When the Galaxy shifts 4hrs later, I might have free assignment slots thanks to the short missions, but many of my "warriors" are tied up in the longer missions, so when I find new Esp or Mil missions I'm short-changed on Tacs and Secs.
I'm also trying to do the Colonial Chain missions to get
those special DOffs and I like to be able to take the occasional non-focal rare/very rare mission, so I do keep a selection of Sci, Meds, Civis, Engs, etc. Plus I have to have the odd Entertainer, Chef, Refugee, and other rarely used DOffs....
Then, too, I want to have space to farm recruitment missions. After all, if I get a Cadre I could open it and get a blue (or even purple!) DOff, so I need room to sort through those.
Finally, having a set or two DOffs for Space/Ground Active Duty depending on my build/mission...
I've already winnowed my crew down to just the "bare essentials", and as I said I'm still at times unable to take mission I want to take because of that darn red square.
Having another 100 slots should do just perfectly. I
really don't think I'll need 300, but I won't rule it out. 400
does seem way too many to ever need (unless they up the number of assigments and/or active).
