Here's the deal with doff, they can make or break high end builds but for base-mid level build they are really optional. There are doffs that allow beam overload to penetrate your enemies shields and penetrate that stacks, and doffs that create aftershock gravity wells and does not stack. It's really a matter of what your build is and (really important here) How much can you afford. In most cases Blues are satisfactory but in others you really want those purple ones.

When buying doffs check the exchange price first and find the doff you want for your faction before asking in a trade channel to avoid getting taken for a ride. Better yet ask fleeties, they may have doffs they're not using and will never use that they may be able to give away

Thanks for the Link Andrew!! Looks like alot of Channels. Can people Trade these Doffs or sell them?

Yup! I only use the doffjobs channel myself, but for a directory of channels in STO check this link: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Global_Channel_Directory

To join a channel you would use/type the following command into your in-game chat box and press Enter: /channel_join channel name

Example: /channel_join DOFFJobs

Axis is correct, there is a $30 pack that can get you in the game, and then you can earn the specific ships you really want, how hard that will be is currently unknown.

Yeah that's the Completionist pack lol

I bought the $10,000 Wing Commander package ... *whistles* ...

Honestly though everything is earnable in game you can start with the cheaper starter ship and work your way up.

The Mustang Beta is one of the starters and is one of my favorite ships in the game :D

I kinda share Seannwboy's sentiment, the game looks amazing, but I simply can't afford it. :(

I saw one pack is $15k :blink:

So I've not seen this done in a space game before, the actual HUD is generated inside your helmet (a change made this week for Arena Commander 1.0).
