It could be the last one before the end of summer - best make the most of it!!:D:):P
I don't think this applies to everywhere you accum. Dil. just mining, fleet mining and mining claims.
Edit: sorry 50% everywhere and 100% for mining

Not a big deal...
I mean it's not like the daily refining cap is getting increased right? I have a lot of dilithium for both my toons that are waiting to be processed. This bonus event only means my stockpile of dilithium ore will go up, but I will still only be able to refine 8,000 ore to crystals per day...
... I am missing something here?
Most people don't make that 8k each day. I don't, I avg about 10k per day across all of my characters. I just don't have the time.

Vulture Wheel
A KDF Foundry mission. One space battle against a single Hirogen ship and you have allies so it will be a quick battle. Beam down to planet surface for the short story. There's a optional ground combat instance that can be completely ignored. A speed run for me takes 8 minutes. About 3 or 4 minutes is due to simply waiting for things to load.
Space -> Planet daytime -> Planet nighttime -> final scene
Standard reward is 1,440 dil since it is a Spotlight mission.
Couple this with the "investigate Officer Reports" and it's probably close to 4000 dilithium for each character.
How many characters are you talking about? Which factions and how much time on average do you try to devote per character per day?
I just ran out of my surplus from the last weekend on my fed yesterday. My klingon had 2 more days. My romulan is new and broke
Perfect timing sto!

I listed various ways of how I earn dilithium in the following thread. Even though I have been max level for over 2 months I have not progressed much beyond the Wasteland story arc so I am positive there are plenty more ways of getting dilithium, but I generally only know of the ones that I have accidentally stumbled upon or found out as a result of the main story missions. For example, I did not list the Deferi missions for earning dilithium since I technically have not come across them yet in the main story line.

The speed run that I use for my KDF toon is as follows from one of my posts in the above link.
That is a total of 7,820 dilithium in about 60 minutes or less of playing time. That excludes any other Doff missions that I have been running from the last time I logged in.
By searching for "Deport Colonists" or "Forced Labor" Doff mission you can get another 500 dil which pushes you over the 8k mark. That's assuming you have at least 5 colonists or at least 4 prisoners. "Deport Colonists" never fails. However, "Forced Labor" can fail.
Sort of.
All you say is totally right if, IF, you only have a couple of toons.
However, getting your 8k a day on more than two or three is serious playtime.
And, once you get to six, seven or, in my case, twelve it's a full time job.
Thus, from my pov, this is a useful injection of dilithium.
Furthermore, these sort of events are mana from heaven for small fleets.
When there aren't many of you putting your 8k daily towards things, then things go slow.
I can leverage my mighty horde of toons to put serious coin in fleet projects.
So, not a total miss.....just that not all the targets are in the same place.
Yeah, that is the rub.
I'd be marginally happier if this is a hard bi-monthly thing.
As things stand, these events are not on any schedule.....seemingly popping up when the devs need to throw us a bone.
I'd much prefer being able to plan ahead....
.....but even bimonthly, this is still a pitiful replacement for the daily events.
And where's my mark weekend?
Kewls, clap clap clap. Dilithium Bonus weekend, CHEERS. But on the other hand you, as in Cryptic, is TRIBBLE us with the removal of the Dilithium reward at the end of the Undine Space Battle Ground. 1680 Dilithium Reward against a 180 Dilithium Reward is quiet a big difference. Not much to celebrate for it.
Yeah... I like playing STO but not to the point of having a lot of active toons running around at once.
See post #17 on page 2 which I outline a way to earn 5,820 dilithium within one hour for a KDF or KDF aligned Romulan toon. That is excluding Doff missions. Turning in contraband will get you 2,000 dil mission completes after 4 hours and 500 dilithium from "Forced Labor" missions assuming your prisoners do not escape. Mission takes 8 hours to complete.
I do this speed run about every other day in the exact same sequence, other times I simply mix it by doing other dil related missions or searching around for Doff missions. When I am not doing a speed run I believe I hit the 8k cap in about 2 hours for my KDF toon.
================================
EDIT:
However, if you have 8+ toons, then yeah playing STO is your full time job since you would need to do the one hour speed run for each toon and is only applicable to KDF / KDF-aligned toons.
You actually have a cap of 8,500 if you have a tier 3 mine and do the 5 sec doff mission.
However all this event will do will get me to reach the cap quicker

Plus a bit more if you're a subscriber of so many days or an LTS, via the doff contact at the academy.
What really sucks is these were billed as "weekly events". They aren't even monthly events. If cryptic wants to continue to curb resource accumulation I wish they would just treat us with respect and do a straight up nerf. This whole selling it as a "great benefitf" just insults our intelligence.
at 50 marks per project with a 15 sec runtime it takes an hour to convert 10k, just for one rep.. I did some quick math and i will have to spend something like 16 hours in the next few days, just to convert the surplus marks and BNPs/implants on my 7 chars...
While I enjoy the bonus, i wish it wasn't so painful... I probably won't even have a chance to actually play.. just press some buttons and drag some sliders on the rep screen all weekend..
This is definitely something I'd like to request as well. I had a couple thousand BNPs, around a thousand Voth Implants, plus around 15k marks between those two. Sitting around for a day to convert them into dilithium has turned the game into a job.

Are you saying converting is time-gated? You mean like everything else in the game. Good Lord, even equipping a tribble is on cd for 15 seconds.
Can I ask who make the calculation of that in the dev team ?
I just ran Defense contract in Eta Eridani : Reward 720 dil.
The normal reward is 480 Dil. double would be 960. Instead it's 50% gain
Same for Lore of The Empire, received 720.
or the double is only for the mine ?
