suspect it's a DOFF mission that would give you more DOFFs, or colonists or something, right? Not your regular inventory, but you're probably up against the cap of 100 DOFFs. Either cut/sell a few of the crappier ones, or run a colonization mission where you lose a few colonists, and you'll have room to finish that mission.

Harvey · January 15 2012, 08:19 PM

That must have been it. The mission was finally able to resolve itself today.

Scout101 · January 15 2012, 10:19 PM

Don't like how that works sometimes. Damned green light blinks until you accept it, but if you don't have any slots, it's tough. I did a recruitment mission, and didn't get back anything special. Didn't have room to accept them, and didn't really want them anyway. Had do drop other white DOFFs and then accept these ones to clear the blinking light. Needs to be a way to just drop the mission (even if complete) if you don't want the reward.

Ran into similar problems with BOFFs on another toon. Got promoted through the DOFF system a lot, and then ended up with a bunch of new BOFFs. I had a roster full off blue/purples, and didn't WANT the offered DOFFs, nor the Mk VI gear, but couldn't drop the completed mission, either. Ended up having to sell a blue DOFF, accept these white ones one at a time, then drop them, then accept the next one. Annoying...

Yeah, once a character gets the DOFFs that he needs to keep stop doing the little assignments that give white DOFFs. Also stop using the "Junior Officer" packs. Those are whites with an occasion green thrown in.

Doc Lee will be checking out the F2P today two times. The first around 4pm (GMT+1) or 10am EST. The second around 10pm (GMT+1) or 4pm EST. I'm not sure of the exact schedule of events, but if you see me online give a shout. Doc Lee@Rocketeer_7

With the launch of F2P today, it will be interesting to see how many Miranda class ships will flying around ESD.

Bird of Prey · January 17 2012, 03:41 PM

Quick question regarding the STF's. Are the MACO and Omega Force gear bind on equip or pickup? just wondering if it's possible for one toon who is a tac officer to do the stfs and give the gear to my other toons. I'm thinking of picking up the Sao Paulo on my Tac toon on the next Cryptic sale, so hopefully I can use that to blast through some of the space STFs.

Nope, best you can do is exchange the Borg loot for dilithium and transfer that to other toons for regular high end gear.

Same here. I hope to see a full spacedock, full corridors, etc., like a real, live, bustling universe!
