I created a new Federation character under the TOS era faction and have gotten up to level 20 and just passed the doomsday device mission, but I've received no dilithium from any mission or any side operation.
Update. I've just tried this with alternate existing characters from 2013 and none of them are able to gain dilithium now. Logged in and out of the game and contacted customer support who have redirected me here.
