Fleet Donations Should Allow Unrefined Dilithium

Fleet donations should allow unrefined dilithium ore to be used as well as for all fleet purchases. The limits on refining dilithium are resonable with respect to the yen/dilithium exchange rates and i agree. But fleet purchases require huge REFINED dilithium costs and level 50 fleet level 5 gamers DO NOT HAVE ANY EXTRA REFINED DILITHIUM to add to our outrageously high fleet credit cost to have any refined dilithium to donate, but we have millions of unrefined dilithium and growing every day. I propose a level 4 fleet dilithium mine level which when completed would allow unrefined dilithium to be contributed to fleet project the same as refined dilithium. We have seven useless purple miners at level 3 ( only 3 tetsu nelek and 3 brenik are currently usefull ) they can be incorporated into a level 4 mine zone . THE POTENTIAL IS THERE TO DO SOMETHING INTERESTING TO US END GAMERS, IS THERE THE WILL.

Across the whole game this would have a negative effect on the zen-dilithium economy, as much as the op's idea is only designed for top end fleets.
I do agree that it would be nice to have something to do with unrefined dilithium though.

I acknowledge that if you're a player with allot of maxed out toons this might not be an option for you.

Something that would let you donate even if just a small amount without cutting drastically into your refine limit would do wonders for the current system. Of course you could technically dump the extra 500 dilithium refined into whatever project.
My absolute dream scenario for the dilithium would be if you are in a fleet and it has a mine, you would get a option on the assets window under dilithium to activate fleet refining. This would pretty much turn on automatic refining (gold member perk) for anyone and would basically be transferring your 8k dilithium ore to the mining facility for enhanced refinement. You would get your 8k refined dilithium and the a percentage of extra refined dilithium based on the mines tier would then be put in the fleets dilithium storage bank.
The dilithium bank would probably need to be setup so that it was restricted to only be used in projects and couldn't be converted to zen or transferred any other way, and the extra refined dilithium wouldn't grant any fleet credits. But it would be a nice way to help out the fleet even if for whatever reason you had problems contributing dilithium.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
I mean who has ever heard of spending enormous amounts of dilithium on a dilithium mine?
Is it not supposed to be a source of dilithium or not, and than the dilithium you can actually mine from it is weak to say the least, good lord what are you trying to do save the dilithium from it for the next thousand+ years?
I can understand the reasoning behind the dilithium hard cap as to create a balance for the zen exchange, as well as try to promote the continued purchase of dilithium with zen.
I can even get the whole picture of fleet's are supposed to take time and lots of resources from lots of member's, but once a tier 3 mine is achieved the level of un-refined dilithium coming out of it is pure weaksauce.
It should provide at least half of what a vip dilithium claim offers up once every 24hrs, otherwise it is pretty pointless to use the two means of getting dilithium from the mine.
It also needs a rich vein for those who do have dilithium claims, because the regular mine sucks for dilithium as well unless you have claims to use.
I mean really 300-500 dilithium from a standard mine run=extremely weak
1000 from the fleet rich vein=very weak
heck you get more than those combined at times from a single ESTF in the same amount of time or less, and can easily blow them away doing dyson battlefield runs.

That has got to be one of the silliest rationales I heard here in a long time! LOL. It's like saying we need to furnish a coal mine with... coal, so the miners have something to work on. :P
It's a Dilithium mine, not a processing station (like DS9 was under Cardie rule). Look outside; see the rocks? It's a mine field.., oh wait, no, that's another thing.
Quite obviously, Dilithium is mined from the rocks we see (and where you can actually go mine it yourself too). As far as we know, it's Unrefined Dilithium that comes from those rocks. What Unrefined Dilithium looks like exactly, I dunno; but it's definitely Dilithium.
100000 ec is nothing, trust me. Nothing. I waste more than 200k ec a day without doing basically nothing at all. When i want a critic in that mission is because the exp (to trade later for fleet marks) and the provisions, nothing more i dont care about the ec itself lol.
And the 500 extra refined dilithium, is useful, but in the end, its not enough. U will never notice those extra refined 500. I dont, anyways. If someday cryptic wakes up and transform those 500 in 1000, that will be a different story. I always thought that one of the later projects in my fleet mine was a project like that, instead 500 extra refined or, 1000 for example.
Its 1000 for standard mine run.
5000 for a rich dilithium mine run.
In the end is not about to gather enough dilithium to refine, in the end is to be saving as much refined dilithium as u can. Since there will be a point that you can gather more unrefined dilithium by far that the quantity you can refine.
When you reach tier 3 in the dilithium mine, a new mission appear , similar to the mine diltihium standard one, but didnt try it yet (no need) but i guess its the same as the standard one.
So, With a tier 3 dilithium mine you can mine 2000 + 5000 (if you have a rich dilitium claim). 2000 for 10-15 minutes is not bad.
That's Cryptic's goldselling revenue there. Let the goldsellers trade EC, it's a useless resource, and more useless every passing day. Refined dilithium on the other hand...
According to memory alpha, citing many ST episodes, the Dilithium is not what you claim it to be. It's a very rare mineral. And like all the rare mineral, you have to mine it, not seed it.
Quoting : "Dilithium could be found on only a few planets in the galaxy, and was therefore a rare and valuable substance."
If it was seeded, it wouldn't be a problem. Seed any planet you want to, and suddenly, it's not as rare and valuable.
you have a chance at more than 2k from an ESTF in 4-5 mins. (if your quick), and with a minimum of 940 for completion+500 from the rewarded marks that is why they are run all the time.
Throw in 11 BNP's and viola an extra 2k right there alone, that's why mine runs are pretty much weaksauce if all you are after is dilithium (unless you have a rich vein claim).
