    Does the 50% increase also apply to the Dilithium ore from DOFF assignments?

    Sounds good. Could use a little more clarification on what that means, such as Doff missions (i.e. Turning in Contraband, general Doff missions) and whether it affects Reputation projects that give Dilithium, such as Thwart Voth Efforts and whatnot.

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Excellent!

    (Unfortunately I've only been in STO for a few months and not sure where to find all the dilithium dalies and have only done dilithium event once. Have some claims,. always figured I'd get to learn more at some point doing the hourly events, now no time, its on top of us!)

    A Bonus +50% to Refine Cap for the 4 days would be a nice gesture :P

    Also while i appreciate the Weekends I still think removing the 3 Hours of Bonus marks that happened twice a day has killed a LARGE part of the Social side of the game for me and my fleet at least We used to gather in large numbers at those times :)

    I'm generally running 6k unrefined ahead of my daily refine limit, so looking forward to really extending that lead.

    Actually more hopeful it will assist fleet mates in reaching that total and being more willing to contribute to big projects....

    I was holding on to my mining claims ever since I saw that event on the ingame calendar, muahahahaa. I have three characters who have mining claims left, oh delicious dillithium come to me. :D

    It's really not hard to find, the mining claims kinda tell you where to go, which happens to be the same place standard mining is happening. :)

    It's nice, but all that grinding on multiple characters is serious burnout. :(

    shame your not increasing the refinement limit for the weekend aswell

    Next bonus: remove the hard cap for refining the ore for 5 days..

    Getting ore is nowadays even without the special event easy enough.
    Price of zen won`t drop i think, cause of the hard cap that`s still there.
    And i think ppl become somewhat "unfocused" after a period of time after looking at all that amount of purple chunks of ore at their screen :P A.k.a spending virus..:D

    Tomorrow it rains dilithium in the Dyson Sphere.

    Best part, one of my toons in 1 day away from finishing the Dyson Rep. 50% extra dil sounds nice.

    This is true. What kept a lot of players I know, including myself, from getting burned out during the Dyson marks event, was the hourly events to give us a break from it.

    If they want to increase the longevity of the game, burning players out is the worse way of doing it. Now, a lot of players are only playing on the weekends, because there is no longer the incentive the play during the week, unless it is the only time you can play.

    If they at least did events every other weekend, or make them week long events, it would at least give us a chance to take a day or two as a break, and still have a chance to grind.

    Hopefully they will see how this is a burnout tool, and do something to give us something that will increase the desire to play.

    was just thinking that, 2k a run on the ground, with 50% bonus over several days, could be looking at several hundred k of dil. assuming meat attracting maggots..

    Hmm watch the rage as they sneakily add in that you have to be in the immediate area to get the dil and not tag and run

    Well, now I got reason to get rid of all of those Borg parts. I've been sitting on, like, 315 of them. If it really is +50% Dil, I'm looking at over 90k $_$
