GPL over Dil for Fleet projects

Making a request to change the Dilithium currency standard of Fleet projects to Gold Pressed Latnium!
Dil represents a characters earnings in Real Life Monies as it is an exchange currency. It is also the most commoditized currecy in game. It is used for litterally everything in game!
GPL is the Most common referenced Trek currency aside from credits and is rendered useless in game. I would like to see a change made at least for Fleet projects that utilize GPL over that of Dil.
GPL would offer the same ammount of player involvement in game and in the fleet as Dil. From an RP point of view, GPL represents the "businessmen" contracted to complete these tasks. This would significantly increase the value and merit of GPL being in game and this would reserve Dil for the characters uses outside the fleet.
Dil does not need to be removed entirely from Fleet projects as it would still be worthy endevours to produce it for needs beyond oneself, but significant reductions can be implemented for the need of Dil and the more likely currency of fleet projects, GPL, can make up the bulk "costs" of any project elswere.

no...oh gods no
sorry but in theory its a great idea, but would dropkick the dil exchange rates to unnaceptble heights
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
I wouldnt see this as increasing the cost to millions of gpl as it is similarly to dilithium ore. So you would only need to compensate for refinement.
the dilitium exchange is a farce... its made up and manipulated. there is no supply and demand at work.
Instead of 1:1, they should pay 3:1 in fleet credits.
Still less than fleet marks, but much more lucrative without the inflated EC costs of DoFFs or other common requirements.
For example, if real gambling was allowed (in game currency, purchasable with money), the game would be illegal in Canada, and most of the contiguous US. While online gambling exists, for most jurisdictions it requires licensing and age gates.
So no, latinum will never be used in more than a color element for quarks or a few doff missions.
Wrong, gpl is the currency earned from playing dabo. Since gpl is an in game currency played with in game currencies it is not technically gambling. If as you say real money was to be exchanged to play the in game gambling game with possible rl payouts, then we would need to address the gambling aspect of it.
However, you cannot "buy" gpl with rl money and using it for other in game items is not a gambling issue. The one thing gpl can not be used for in game is to purchase refined dil as that wiuld create the issue you address here.
It depends on what they can add to the dil required items.
Rep projects items
Fleet gear
Fleet projects
R&D projects
Upgrade system
system
Doff missions
These are what i can think of off the top of my head. If they added new projects with dil requirements then it should keep the dil market stable.
Right dil is a resource for power system
system not as currency. GPL is referenced in one of the most recent variations of of trek DS9, as a galactic currency used by most non federation traders that visited DS9.

theres just not anything really good that you can buy with the stuff.
even ec is more useful then GPL, in fact if you look at what you can buy with all the other currency's in the game GPL is the most useless stuff you can have and that's ironic as its about the only currency that ever got a regular mention in star trek.
even if you could exchange it with a ferengi vender for ec it would be good enough.
as it stands at the moment GPL is as good useless unless you want to spend your whole time playing dabo.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
