    This will be interesting to see what happen happens to Dili exchange. with all that dili that flood the market in the coming weeks the price zen will drop

    Other way around. As dilithium becomes more available, the value of it relative to zen will fall. In other words, it will take more dilithium per zen to complete an exchange. The dilithium price of zen will rise.

    Or thats exactly what you said and Im misreading.

    If you have zen and have been wanting to convert it to dilithium, Sunday would be a good time.

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

    It'll be interesting to see the size of the move, if any. It'll depend on whether the limiting factor is unrefined dil or the refinement cap...

    Oh YAY this is awesome. I'll be able to catch up on some of my characters' dil-grinding now. :D

    And I guess now I know to save all the rich claims I get, huh? 'Cause dang, 10k dil for a minute's worth of work is just too good :D

    I suspect it won't change significantly. Maybe 5 Dil I'm guessing. As you say, the main restraint is the refining cap (Which I'm grateful for, as without it I would be able to buy precious little ingame - Although my characters would be much better equipped)... But a lot of people I'm thinking have alts who might not hit the cap everyday normally, so who knows? If they build up a reserve with those, it could be the price of Zen will rise for a while.

    This is awesome, I will head to the asteroid field on my Romulan. I need Dil for gear out of the Dil store. To get some items replaced before I hit the Romulan Rep.

    Just for clarification does that apply to doff assignments that are already in progress before the servers go down? because I'm assuming it'll be live when the servers come back up?
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

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

    Thats the main reason why you don't see bots in this game. I can deal with a limit per character if it makes the botting type ppl go elsewhere.

    What we really need is a 50% off dilithium costs for stuff event.

    Sounds ok, but I am still not sure having this is worth losing the old events, I wish we could have both or just the old events back.

    Okay, so this weekend event is okay, but I'd rather see a rotating daily event.

    It will be fun to finally have to worry about the refinement cap. Daily Academy question + Explore Strange New Worlds / We Need Breathing Room + Doff Assignments and I haven't broken 1600/day/character on average.

    You got me stumped on that one. I will have to wait and ask the other Devs in the morning.

    My best bet would be to wait and turn those missions in to collect the rewards AFTER the event starts. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Then you can come back and post the results!

    Good luck! :)

    I just hope people won't end up with temporary account bans for obtaining TOO much dilithium on a given day...

    Sadly, there have been instances of people getting their accounts temp-banned after obtaining too much dilithium (for example, by converting tons of BNP and Marks). And since it's all automated I'm kind of worried, to be honest. I know it's pressumably in place to ban cheaters, but like every automated system it's not 100% reliable.

    Starting tomorrow, Thursday, February 6th at 10AM PST, we are running a special weekend event where you can earn bonus Dilithium Ore by playing content throughout the game! Read more for full details! This event runs until Monday, February 10, 2014 at 10AM PST.


    During the event, bonus Dilithium Ore will be provided for the following content:


    • Vlugta Asteroid Field:
      • 100% Bonus Dilithium Ore for Daily Mining Missions
      • 100% to all Rich Dilithium Claims

    Little overkill with the 100% to mining claims, that's a possible 10k per character for 5mins worth of work don't you think.

    It's once a day from something you only obtain from a Lock Box and is bound to characer (not account) on pickup.

    Overkill? Perhaps, but I don't mind. ;)
