Dissapointing Fleet Mine

Yup our fleets have their own mine and it doesn't do as much as it should.First off only two duty officer Assignments and the one for dilithium only gives yo 250 if you don't critical it.second no option to refine extra dilithium.you would think having a mining operation would result in more of the two.And while it's nice to have the chance to get cool consoles and warp/singularity engines, they are just to expensive on the dilithium costs.there are just way to many ways to spend it but not enough ways to get it and build up a reserve stock pile.I say get rid of the dilithium cost and just double or triple the fleet credit cost.

Since we have our own mine...can we mine it...
Costs for gear aren't that big for what you get, considering mkxii sing cores are rediculously priced on exchange.
Go back and have a look through how the base progresses. T2 opens up out side. Once your out there you can mine rocks. Hit t3 and it suggests a rich vein will become available.
Im not logged in right now to confirm, but i also believe that t2 unlocks an additional mission to refine ore.
Also as a bonus with every tier those two doff missions increase in reward i cant remember the wording off hand but im sure it changed from rich to massive. I managed to crit a couple of times on the mineral mission and was rewarded 115,000 EC each time, im hoping over the next couple of days i get time to get on and explore a bit more.
Remember guys that barren rock you have at the moment turns into this glorious TRIBBLE!

It just costs too darned much for how little it provides. Want a huge sum of Dilithium fast? Play Elite STF's and trade in Marks and Processors for Dilithium. Far outstrips the Dilithium Mine AND provides you extra goodies to sell for EC or keep if you need them. A good fleet should be able to pile drive Infected Space in less than 10 minutes easy and KA nearly that fast.
Anyway, IMO the dil aspects of the mine are secondary - the main value are the Eng consoles which so massively outstrip their vanilla counterparts that it's not even funny. To a lesser extent you could say the same about the warp cores (though they are not so compelling!).
I don't think the Dilithium mine projects (any of them, not just the main track) should cost Dilithium.
Takes dilithium to make dilithium!
All in all, it just seems like a supremely low effort offering compared to the Embassy.
Mk XII Singularity cores on the exchange are waaay over priced, not to mention they are inferior in every way to just the advanced fleet cores. The elite fleet cores are beast as well, cant wait to get my hands on them.
I look forward to Cryptic releasing fleet tactical consoles soon as well. Finally drive those price gougers trying to sell mk xii tactical consoles for 40 million EC + away from the exchange once and for all :P
I wondered when they would release tactical consoles.
I am highly disappointed with the engineer consoles. The embassy ones provided benefits to science specific powers and could stack well. The engineer consoles don't help engineers/cruisers that much. Resistances don't stack well, and really aren't needed and the RCS is a joke for a cruiser with 6-8 turn rate (wasting a console for +2 turn rate?). Why not some regeneration and heal consoles with resistance modifiers? Why not add threat into them too? Why be so stingy with engineer consoles?
My only hope is in some of the suggestions that crafting will permit us to add things to our consoles and equipment to make them more valid for purchasing at those prices.
But my tac-scort awaits purple xii tactical consoles.

The Discounts on Fleet Projects is a joke.
Those Mining Projects are a Joke within a Joke. Just got a Critical On the Dilithium mission and I got a whopping 375 Dilithum! I can get that much from a regular Resolve Mission!
How is this supposed to help Small Fleets, Cryptic? You just making us waste our time with this trash! Especially the stupidity to use Dilithum to advance in a Dilithium Mine?
It only seems to make sense to go to tier 1 with a new fleet that has no facilities already built. A small help for new fleets, just something else to do with an already built fleet.
A New Fleet wants to focus on building their Starbase and get Fleet Ships, not spend months working in the Diltihium Mines for discounts.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
So the rich daily is definitely 480 max?
That's a bit of a waste.

Yep, 480 dilithium without the event, propably around 700 with the mining event. But on the other hand, you don?t need the lockbox cards to mine it..
I also believe the fleet mine provides already refined dilithium does it not? So basically you should hit up both mines IMO during the event, and use a rich claim for the regular mine!!!

Not really, it gives you a chance to refine another 500 dilthium above the 8k cap by using a doff mission (assuming you have it unlucked).
Unless it changed since we tried it on tribble, than the max reward from one day mining in T3 fleet mine without the mining event is 2480 unrefined dilithium, + the income from the doff mission, which is 500 on succes at T3.
During the event, it would be somewhere around 3720 unrefined dilithium + the income from the doff mission, but that is not affected by the event.
So, 2980 or 4220, depending on the presence or absence of the event. Still not bad, considering the fact that all you have to do is play a minigame and walk around for about 15 minutes. Certainly more than a ground STF could yield under the best of circumstances, even if you could commit all of the marks you got from it to dilithium refining.

Increasing reductions on all fleet projects, from FM, dilithium, duty officers, commodities etc.
there are unlocks to make your personal freighter appear faster, reduction for the personal dilithium store prices (which i think also carries over to fleet stores as well), Mark XII armour and warp cores, access to Horta and Yridian doffs, a new costume unlock.
the Doff missions when they crit can give back Fleet marks, and decent quantities of EC and CXP plus the other dilithium mini games.
Not only can you make a sizeable amount of dilithium a day, but the cost of just about everything is reduced plus some new equipment and items.
figured it out - for FM to drop you have to finish the development track(red one)
