Marks/Tokens >> Dilithium

Just a small suggestion... it would be really nice if we could get some Upgrade projects in each reputation tree that would:

Convert 500 Marks >> 5000 Dilithium
Convert 30 Tokens >> 10000 Dilithium

It would provide the same ratio between marks/tokens and dilithium, but would provide a huge boon to efficiency for captains that have farmed up a lot of reputation missions. I just get really tired of running the same conversion project 10 or 20 times in a row.

Just a thought.

Cheers

    I'm not really sure why this needs to be a project at all. Can't this be placed into the Store interface instead, similar to the way cashing out EDCs and tech pieces used to work?

    personaly i do the 1h 15 marks for 340 dilithium...yields more dilithium, and i have the time.

    your request isn't an issue that affects a big enough number of player. There is also no reason why you can't start the project once you have 50 marks, and collect the reward once you have another 50 marks. Even in battle zones there is plenty of time inbetween fights to start this projects.

    if there was a way in the game to instantly gain hundrets of marks within a short time over and over again, i could understand this request, but it ain't so.

    why didn't you convert it while waiting for the next STF to open?

    Why would you convert marks when a dil event isn't active?!

    EDIT: Converting more marks at once would be great. Spending hours starting the same project over and over is tiresome.

    The imminent need for dilithium? To avoid the tiresome process of starting those projects over and over?
    So much talk that this game is too grindy, yet there are people that seem to enjoy for whatever reason to do the same thing for days.
    The game is only as tiresome as you let it be tiresome. No real reason to stockpile unrefined dilithium up until it reaches the cap when 8k is the daily limit anyway.

    Last but not least, the question remains if that 15 sec for that project isn't there intentionaly.

    I will be happy with anything that lets me turn in more then 50 marks or 3 implants at a time every 15 seconds.

    I don't enjoy it. But getting 50% more dilithium out of it is kinda impossible to refuse.

    Getting a lot of dil at once and then slowly refining it has been my recent modus operandi, as I don't play all that much anymore. Getting more dil mean I'll be able to refine half more days. (I'm now slowly getting rid of dil stockpiled during the last dil event.)

    I found the dyson battlezone a ample scorce for dilithium. After doing the battlezone three times I return to the ship to manage things up there. I check my inventory and I should have 15 voth implants and mark packages that go into the overflow bag. I put my reputation system on hold at tier 1 and I turn my voth implants in 3 at a time for 1k dilithium and 50 marks for 500 dilithium.
    doing that should get me 125k soon. That shoud get me my 5k zen sooner or later

    /Vote +1 to the OP's request.



    Also, can we get over the 15s time gate, please? Please lower the project time to 5s, or how about "nigh-instantaneous" (where there's no actually gate, just the 2-3s it takes to process the request).

    You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.

    instead of the 50 marks for 500 dilithium, you should do the hourly projects - yes, they also take EC and expertise, but for those same marks you would get about 800 dilithium and two and a half rep equipment boxes....

    you missed the point of this, the point is: some people (such as myself) gather huuuuuge quantities of marks and implants, ect and we want a way to convert them en masse. For some it can take hours to convert everything (ive got 15k marks and 300 or so implants stored across my account for dil weekend) and there will be more... (+50% on dil weekend= 75k dil)

    and +1 btw

    With the dili bonus event on the horizon, this once again is an issue.

    So +1 to OPs request


    Save all your marks/tokens for the dili event. Then cash in. And spend hours upon hours doing the same RSI inducing task over and over and over again.
    Not fun, and not what I ideally want to log into a game to do.

    I'm still trying to whittle away at my 700 BNPs (was about 1300 before last time dili event happened). Still yet to touch my 50k+ OMs.

    Haven't looked recently but didn't the BNP>dili project go from 5 down to needing 3 BNP as input? Great for my potential BNP turn in amount but adds 66% more to conversion time...

    Let's see... I get much more dilithium ore then daily refining cap at one day (especially by mark->dil conversion while event) so I don't have to grind for some next days, I can just log in refine 8k and spend rest of my time in game playing what and how I want instead playing what I must to get daily 8k cap.

    So yes, projects for 500 or even 5000 marks would be awesome.
    Yes hourly projects have better mark:dilit ratio but when you have 10k marks to convert there just isn't enough time to convert all of them. Project need 15 marks every hour,what gives 360 marks per day (start every 1 hour), with 5 day event it gives 1.8k marks and that is only if you don't sleep and miss any minute between projects.

    Id even go for a 1:45 ratio instead of 1:50 if i could just do it in bulk :(
