I am seeking confirmation from others who are familiar with the foundry missions' dilithium payout.
I usually grind foundry eps once per character during the "Officer Reports" events to maximise the payout
I noticed that previously, i was getting 2804 dilithium per mission
This was reduced to 2756 dilithium last week
And now, 2644 dilithium ( 2 days ago )
Outside the Officer Reports event, the same mission is giving me 23xx dilithium.
The figures above may be +/- 30 dil but that the figures off the top of my head.
Mission: Repair Utopia Plenetia ( due to the foundry waypoints bug, this was one of the few missions NOT requiring the use of waypoints. else the bug will make the mission a waste of time if one is not familiar with the mechanics )
I have tried playing the same mission, with similar playtimes ( 15 - 18 ) minutes, with 3 different characters to seek confirmation
1x Fed VA lvl 50
1x Fed lvl 40
1x Rom lvl 30+
All yielded similar dilithium payouts to the figures above. Dilithium payout remained constant. EC and EXP varies.
I noticed that previously, levels only matter with regards to the EC payout. Dilithium payout remained the same ( 2804 ). I am unclear as to how EXP payout is derived as i get XP ranging from 300+ to 800+ to 1800+ per mission )
My Questions:
1. Does playing the same foundry mission reduce the dilithium payout, the more the mission is played? If so, at what points?
2. If the above is no, can anyone who is familiar with the payouts confirm my findings of a dilithium payout stealth nerf? Or are you getting the same payout as what was given 2-3 weeks ago?
Dilithium payouts aren't fixed per mission, but based on play times. They can fluctuate with player activity, and in general they've been edging down since the one-per-hour change.
Farm missions for EC do not need to be remade if people can complete them in a few minutes. Players just need to stop playing them before they finish since they are no longer getting drops. I do Happy Farmer on my fed toons and leave the mission when there are 5 NPC's left to complete it because there are no more drops. Then i swap to a spotlight and do that one to completion but get no drops. I get max EC from drops at 600k+ average then an easy 2k+ dilithium. Just need to seperate what you are grinding for and do just that.

Many farm missions have to be totally recreated from time to time as people get so fast at them they stop counting for rewards at all.
it average playtime for all players, not just yourself
if a player found a way to complete the mission in a few minutes, then your efforts will be fruitless
