After playing on the test server I have noticed that the Patrol missions have sort of been pushed to the wayside. While they still give out the standard item rewards they always have the exp gain has been reduced by a considerable factor.This is just my personal opinion but, this reduction seems to make these missions not worth playing at all.
This is what leads into my question. Are there any plans for dilithium being given as a reward for doing patrols? If not do you think giving out some amount of dilithum for taking patrol missions would be enough of an incentive to take these missions now that the amount of exp they provide has been reduced?
Yeah, they really didn't do anything with the patrols, they're just where they were on Holodeck. You get the same rewards as before. However, they can be useful. They're good for testing new weapons and abilities you've equipped. Plus, the SP you get for them does still add up. You'll eventually level up using them, just not as fast as you do playing the episode missions, especially under the new system.

As it is though it seems like there isn't enough incentive to actually undertake these missions. Like I said, this is just my opinion.
