Whether or not it's worth $60 to you for just the ship with the Picard and TOS skins is up to you.
It might be a controversial statement but real-life is still more important than STO.
Did the Jem'Hadar come pre-boosted to 65 or was it 60? Also, I agree the story-line missions are often good, a few could be considered stinkers, & some are great & very enjoyable. I do hate having to re-do a mission over & over etc. for 2 or 3+ items though lol.
I hate that part too.
Y'know, that might make a good dil sink.
Once a character has done a story episode once, they can pay x,000 dil per gear piece to get the rest of a set, including duplicate space weapons and ground pieces for your boffs.
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.'
On the bright side it's 14 times and you have an account unlock, instead of needing to do it x times per character. You can even spend zen to buy out early if you want.
They came boosted to 60.
I actually don't mind doing a mission three-four times to get a set I want.

True, if you have more than 14 Characters that will use that particular Item then it works out and you also get a Reclaim if you lose the Item or throw it away in a fit.
Also, no Sets. Each item is unto itself.

But the Rep. System is the last big source to get a lot of dilithium per chararcter, after the change on the admiral system. Some of my toons work only as a dilithium source via the rep system and have been deleted after finish the grind, to get replaced by a new one.
That sounds like another great reason to have it go account-wide. Dilithium having more worth is not a bad thing.
The problem is, the rep completion also gives you a bunch of stuff to actually afford some rep items. Rep stuff is also all char bound.
So if you have 10 chars right now, taking them through the rep system gets you the ~30k dil, 5 elite marks and 750 regular marks, each time you do it. That's enough for one item on each character until tier 6 discount. Each one also gets whatever dil and elite marks from the boxes which goes towards making life a bit easier in buying more than one item.
Now you change that and suddenly you only have one payout for all your characters, but still have 10 characters that may want a few items each. It punishes people with multiple characters that actually play and equip them for the few that farm up characters for dilithium payouts (and it still takes many months to refine all that dil.)
Farmers lose the dil-flation source, people actually playing their characters get instant piles of usable dil for their gear since reputation dil is pre-refined.
I think we have 13 reps and if they each give 30k rep dil instead, then you're looking at ~390k reputation dil for a new character that grinds out all the reps.
I don't know what they would spend that on, especially with the T6 discount. I think it would be hard to sensibly spend even half of that.
For old characters they would essentially get nothing after grinding out a new rep if the new gear doesn't work for their build, just the hope that a new reputation in N years will let them spend their rep dil on new gear some day.
I like your idea there. Cryptic seems to be a lot about installing dilithium sinks into STO lately & having the option to either rerun the mission or pay Dil to skip for the reward, after once completed, would be appease both decisions. Of course depending on the amount of the Dil sink I'd use it or not.

Yes, but what you waste to get to those points, can easily go into you getting the gear you want right away instead of sinking it into the same old point and click for 3 months for a reward that is way less than what you contribute into it.
I *believe* that question was asked on last week's 10 forward and the answer was 'no' (no new slot).

What? I hate the stupid point and click adventure of filling sliders like anyone else, but that is a net gain in terms of dilithium. You won't get more dil by converting all those marks to dil. You'll also end up with less elite marks with no boxes to open.
