Hi, sorry if I've missed any topics regarding this (sick with flu right now) but I've considered the future possibility of making some stories etc on my own if the inspiration hits but also some wityh my fleet contributing ideas. Now I see when I play missions an option to donate dil to the author, when you do this does the author get anything saying how much is from which missions or do they just get it? I would like to use the dil from fleet ideas for stuff to put back into the fleet specifically if/when enough is earned, such as keys as prizes or w/e, while keeping the possible earning from my ideas seperate to reduce confusion. Is this possible with the current set up or would it be better to have another account for fleet use?

    Ok, so then best option is to use a separate account then I take it.

    First off, no, an author has no control over how much, if any, dilithium a player tips. Second, as tips are capped at 100 dilithium, even the most successful missions (with massive amounts of plays) see more than a trickle of dilithium. If your goal going into making a mission is dilithium, then I'd save yourself the trouble.

    I've worked in bars I know you can't force tips so that was irrelevant to my questions. I also know how much you can give, my question was simply in regards to does it give a break down of how much came from where.

    I think thay8472 answered that one. There's no real way of telling how each individual tips unless you watch the reviews for your mission constantly, and that's if your mission is one that gets something like one play per day. If it's one that gets multiple plays a day, there's no way to see who donates and how much they do.

    Yeah I gathered that from them, it's too bad they don't have a better reporting system but I think I will just use a secondary account just to keep fleet inspired away from personal so my fleeties can get rewarded with whatever little comes in from their ideas.

    You'd be better off just giving them a mirror/Kazon ship.

    You can tell how much total in dilithium tips each mission has received.

    And don't knock the Kazon ship. It's awesome.

    Thanks, that was actually perfect to know. I also have yet to do much with my Kazon, but I've seen in GD that people have defended it as being a bit of a beast considering it's not a main ship from the boxes.
