    This seems to be kind of a moot blog considering we already knew this.

    Thanks Smirk for the update. I was not aware of these changes. I haven't had much time to play lately but I'm glad there is more solo content with dilithium.

    I'm not going to begrudge them giving us info (even late) on the actual site/forums...

    ...would be nifty to have a dev blog explaining just what the intended functionality of the [PvP Dmg] and [PvP Res] mods are though.

    question for the star trek online team can nutaka prime be placed back as an open adventure zone?

    It would be nice if you fix defera City - hard quest. No point in adding dilithium to rewards when it is imposible to finish.

    Crafting is unnecessary anyways... you can buy gear off the exchange without grinding or use the dilithium for fleet or rep gear if the crafting is too much work for u. It's totally optional. You can even use dil from playing the adventure zones for Zen to buy items to sell for EC and then buy crafted gear without all the hassles.

    This is good for many. I can use the Dil to get Rep gear. With the Dil store gone, now I have to figure out what to use my Dil on now. Crafting is out due to not worth it. So I guess I build up for zen purchases or just hold on to it for something later. This will really help my Romulan out getting the Romulan Rep gear.

    It still is one. You can go to it at any time.

    Hm...

    Between "Turn Over Contraband", the Foundry Spotlight Daily, regular Foundry missions, "Temporal Ambassador", the Academies' history missions, turning in spare Romulan Marks from the Tau Dewa Patrol Daily, VIP Claims from Lockboxes, Prisoner labor on KDF characters, etc... I've had little trouble gaining Dilithium.

    If you want me to get all excited that my Caitian's whiskers twitch, come back and talk to me when you've raised the refining limit some.

    This actually refers to the Adventure Zones, where you wander about doing stuff, not the Battlezones with their capture points. While the Battlezones did have dilithium, the Adventure Zones did not. Oddly, the picture they chose for the blog is out The Park door in the Dyson Ground Battlezone, but that's not actually what they mean.

    Funnily enough, the Space Adventure Zones in the Dyson Sphere had Dilithium rewards after launch. Then it was removed. Now it was added again.
    Brilliant.

    They added this to try and offset the loss of dilithum with the removal of the cluster spaces.

    And yea this went live with 9.5. Seems they are still have issues with releasing info in a timely manner.

    Glad its on the offical site though, I don't use facebook or twitter at all and hate when things are only posted there, as I only learn of them well after the fact.

    We already knew this (thanks to the patch notes), but this is another unequivocally good thing. Smart move, Cryptic.

    Would be nice to see the dil rewards on all queueable STFs brought up to par with those of the Borg STFs.

    IMO, no additional options to acquire dilithium mean anything until the Refinement Cap is increased.

    The ONLY reason I see that the cap has not been or will not be increased is Cryptic wants us to get so impatient that we buy Zen and convert it to Dilithium in order to accomplish our goals.

    That's a great addition which will hopefully increase activity in those zones. But isn't it time to increase the daily dilithium refinement cap as well? I mean compare the possibilities to spend dilithium when the cap was originally introduced with the possibilities and requirements now! Reputation gear, fleet gear, fleet projects, crafting... I think an increase to 10'000 or even 12'000 per day would be appropriate.

    That would be great if they added 2 BOFFs like the Dyson sphere has.
    Maybe 2 to Nukara and a full team for Deferi.
    Why would I as a Starfleet captain beam all alone into a freaking invasion zone??!!!

    with all the chaos the past week and such, i didnt know. but even so i expect the ncreased reward would be minimal.
