Dyson Commendation - Not enough clear obtaining of it

Hi,

I have pretty simple question, how to get for example 5 Dyson Commendations same day ?

Last night i did Storming the Spire and got one, then i did The Breach and got none... Today done Storming the Spire and got none again. So i suppose Dyson Commendation has some cooldown? And you can get only one per day ?

I don't understand game busines logics about this. I tried to search on wiki information about Dyson Commendation, but found nothing, i also tried to search on wiki information about for example about Storming the spire PvE event, to understand better objectives, how to get for sure this commendation, but found no information too... No any description about this game logics... How it works... So I decided to write here...

Problem is that I am playing with few toons and want to pre-farm them for few days and to have some reserve if i unable to play some day, just to login and to run commendation project...

P.S. All reputations on all toons are maxed, it's just about dilithium :)

    There is a reputation upgrade project you run that costs 350 Dyson marks (I think?) and gives you 5 Commendation points 20 hours later.

    Yes i remember that was such project while i trained Dyson reputation, but currently i have maxed this reputation and unable to find this project.

    I see just:
    1. Project which gives dil for commendation
    2. Ground gear
    3. Space gear

    In upgrades:
    1. Sponsorship
    2. Dilithium for dyson marks
    3. Dilithium for implants

    Maybe it was removed after i finished Dyson reputation ? As commendations then can be used only for that first project which gives dil, but that project for me is important :)

    I just want to get more commendations, if i do pve for it i should get Dyson Commendation... It's like one more resource for which we can get dilithium. Basically you can convert marks to dilithium with upgrade project (50 marks = 500 dilithium).

    Main this post theme is about how works this game mechanics, why completing few times same fleet event i just once getting Dyson commendation... As many players have few characters and it's logical to pre-farm some resources for them, as you're unable to play with all characters daily, eg. i have 6 characters, every day i play only with 1-3... But when i play with them i prefarm resources for few days...

    P.S. But interesting math is here :)
    • For 350 marks you get 5 Dyson commendations (probably unavailable after you finish reputation, at least i not found it) ;
    • For each commendation yields 820 dilithium + 20 marks and take 20 hours to finish... :)

    I trying to make farming chain with Dyson commendations

    Ah! Sorry I understand now. No I'm not sure either what the mechanics are. Perhaps a dev/community manager might dip in and explain?

    The upgrade does disappear on toons that have maxed the rep. I just checked on one of mine.

    I fail to understand why anyone at max for Dyson rep needs Commendations anymore. :confused:

    The whole purpose of converting marks to commendations is so you don't need to worry about possibly missing a chance at the daily 2.5k project while running the rep grind if you just don't have the time to play. Once you reach tier 5, the only reason you would run the commendation project repeatedly is for marks, but if the conversion project existed then you'd have to convert marks to commendations first. You end up losing out in that conversion process. If you need dilithium, just convert the marks directly. If you need marks, then why are you converting them to commendations to then convert them back into marks (and fewer of them at that)?

    It gives a ground item. Don't know if it's any good. Haven't tried it yet.


    To the OP: You can only get a commendation once every 20h (except through the marks -> commendations conversion) through a mission (space or ground).

    Somehow, some people are still desperate for unrefined DIL, even though there's a ridiculous number of ways to go far beyond the 8000 refining cap every day. I have a lot stockpiled, but even so. It only took me a couple months of DIL grinding to get 1.5 mil. That's the most I've ever had. I'm still refining the stuff. Feet marks are harder to get than DIL. I'm surprised more n00bs don't complain about that instead (though a few have).
    My Old Blog about things that could and should have been added when I wrote it. Not sure what I want to do with it now. I'll just keep it available now that most of it is outdated.

    It's just about dilithium farming. Maxed reputation players still getting some Dyson Commendations and we got project where players with maxed reputation can get dilithium for this dyson commendation and it takes 20 hours and gives 820 dil.

    So if you get in this way 820 dil, you need to grind less dill every day (8000 - 820 = 7180) :)

    All this is about dilithium farming, yield per time and etc. :) I just want to understand how players get Dyson Commendations, is this have some daily limit and etc...

    Just out of curiosity...

    How are you refining far beyond the 8000 refining cap per day?

    Is it a fleet project of some sort? I'm not part of fleet so I dunno...

    There is a doff assigment on the fleet mine, it allows to refine 500 dilithium ore extra per day

    Also, some gold players have an additional doff assigment, they can refine 1000 dilithium ore every two days

    Because the commendation turn-in also gives dilithium. In fact, you'll get more than 3500 dilithium (the value of 350 marks) if you run the marks to commendations conversion and then the commendations turn-in, and then two more marks to dil conversions.

    The process would be even more efficient if the marks to commendations conversion wasn't disabled after you hit T5 Dyson Rep.

    You can get Commendations once every 20 hours through Voth STFs or doing a major mission in any section of the Dyson Allied Zone.

    Major missions are any accepted quests given by a contact, not a context.

    My preferred method is to do a drive-by supply depot mission daily. It literally takes about 5 min on the average --- usually with little to no combat (at most 1 frigate or 1 set of swarmers).

    You can only earn 1 per day normally. If you are in the area, its one of the fastest ways to get a little dil & it gives a few marks too if you still need any items. It also gives a box with a random item same as it did back when you were doing it for rep. So 5 min for 10 marks, 1 commendation, some dil, and a random item worth 10k or so at the vendor. Fairly efficient.
