I agree, the amount of time I will spend in the PVE que is greater than the amount of time I'll be buying gear with dilithium. Please move it back to the way it was.
i actually like the dilithium store is there. players are flying small cities so should be able to create this stuff on their ships. so im happy to see it. it probably should be the one to go into the arrow underneath the dilithium conversion button as its not going to be used that much.
they could always put the dilithium buttons at the top of the map but i dont think its a major issue. it can still be accessed by the main journal as well as the arrow and its only one more click of a mouse either way.
Please swap the PvP and PvE buttons. The vast majority of players do not PvP anything close to the amount of time they PvE. Please make your UI changes reflect player gameplay habits.
In other words, hide the PvP button like it should be, and replace it with the PvE button.
Combine the two stores into one or at least make the buttons smaller if you don't want to put them in the drop down. People will find the Dill store when they need it and can always use the vendors in the shipyard but if the PvE queue isn't obvious it will mean worse waiting times for everyone and people missing out on content.
1. At least not make it pink. It's really jarring to the eyes.
2. The tooltip on it actually says C-Store. Sadly ironic, because clearly this button's raison d'etre is to increase real money sales of Cryptic points. And a very effective way to do that is to get people to spend more dilithium than they can procure in-game. I hope people argue about whether this is greedy/exploitative of players. Surely a more tasteful and respectful approach is possible.

Though all I have to do is press J to have easy access to the PvE queues... but I feel it worked better before.
Also, contrary to Revo, I don't think ships have any business creating items out of dilithium... unless it's from crafting stations inside the ship. The dilithium store being there is just one less excuse to bother with the social zones - which is a negative to me considering STO is an MMO.
I think it might be time to expand that button set another row, and put the bridge and dilithium exchange on it, too. Maybe even R&D and open it up to on-site since the need to return to base for weapons is gone now.

I agree 100% with this . Please do it as the VAST majority of people don't pvp but DO PvE

Surely you jest.
Why I said at least not make it bright pink. I'm a visually sensitive person.
Agreed, swap PvP and PvE buttons.

It really is time to redesign this whole cluster. And fix the useless zooming in the minimap and make it resizable.
Or at least, put it back like this with a dropdown:
