Duty Officer System Described

As we know, Cryptic is putting in a duty officer system. You will obtain duty officers and put them on duty rosters for different departments of your ship such as Tactical, Security, Engineering, Operations, Science, and Medical.
There seems to be a decent complexity to the system, so I refer you to this thread made by a Heretic, a Cryptic dev, who describes the system in detail.

Some interesting points taken from this thread.
Total of duty officers made so far near 6,000 in number
You will collect duty officers and add them to an Active Roster over time
Duty officers come in the traditional levels of rarity, from white commons to purple rares.
You can acquire Duty Officers through character rank, assignment rewards, achievement rewards, trading and exchange and of course.. the C store.

Glad to see this is finally getting done; people were asking for this since closed beta.
"Oh my, how horrible, someone is criticizing a MMO. Oh yeah, that is what a forum is about, looking at both sides. You rather have to be critical of anything in this genre as of late because the track record of these major studios has just been appalling." -Ozmodan
Nice find - thanks for posting this.
Looks like a very interesting system - adding a little variety and depth to the gameplay is a good thing.
