Any chance of an uncapped dilithium refinement day ?

I've only been in STO for around 3 weeks now but find the artificial 8k dilithium daily limit a little annoying, I know it's done so PW hopes we'll part with actual money and buy zen to exchange for dilithium but has there at any point been an event where this limit is increased/removed for a limited time ?

    Yea... next weekend we have an all refinement event where I can refine the 60mil dil ore on my account all at once. I throw it on the exchnage then to get some zen.

    Just a joke!

    No, we will not get that. 8k limit is a baseline rule for over a decade. If you need more dil per day it is common to simply play multiple characters and increase the refinement limit that way. I have 12 characters for example and refine 12x8kdil/day. :)

    Count me in! I'd like to also refine millions of ore and cash in on the exchange, just before D/Z caps at 500 and Zen all but vanishes and trading stops and the game becomes mostly pay to acquire anything!

    So refined dilithium is account bound and not character bound ? If so I think I'll go make a few more characters XD

    Well yes and no . You will have separate refined dilithium amounts on each Captain you have but there are ways using the dil exchange to transfer those amounts to one captain if you want.

The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life." - Ten Bears (Will Sampson)

    Yeah with selling for zen and then selling zen on your main toon, Ok gotcha, Honestly didn't think of doing it that way before as I'm not fond of levelling XD

    Yea thats how it works. Try to find a balance between your deck of characters vs. your avarage gaming time and all is set. For most players it usual to have some chars just there for farming purposes. :)

    Yes if you cancel a dill sale it returns to the general pool where you can claim it from any character so most people set a bad deal dill sale nobody buys, go to their main cancel the sales and withdraw the refined dillithium

    This has already been explained as to why it's not going to happen. Please refer to the FCT list linked above by user eazzie. There's a ton of reasons why it won't happen, but a dev answer is contained there.
