Adding a decay value for dilithium. At the end of every day, 5% of your refined dilithium 'decays' away, to prevent you accumulating too much. Rationalised as dilithium having a very short half-life or something.
Below are costs in refined dilithium and is per toon, not account wide.
25 dilithium every time the game auto saves your progress. But in case you do not have enough dilithium, the game is saved once every two hours so that you do not loose too much progress.
100 dilithium fee to enter a STF mission.
200 dilithium to enter the Winter Wonderland.
By default toons can only walk. 100 dilithium for the ability to jog for 20 hours. An additional 500 dilithium for the ability to run for 20 hours.
10 dilithium fee for accessing bank slots each time.
50 dilithium fee for accessing account bank each time.
100 dilithium fee to access the Exchange.
250 dilithium fee to access the Dilithium Exchange.
1000 dilithium inactivity fee. After 3 days of inactivity, 1000 dilithium will be deducted from each toon that has not been active during that time. This "maintenance fee" is charged on a daily basis until the toon becomes active again.
Are you guys seriously arguing that cryptic needs to charge more?
Lol are you daft?
Ive got something like $900 worth of T5 starships that were totally outclassed by T6 ships, 'n if they weren't they surely will be as new T6 ships come out and you think we should give them MORE??
Let's not forget a 250 Dilithium penalty for each tribble you allow to grow in your bank or inventory and another 100 Dilithium disposal charge for each one you get rid of.
50 dil for thinking about how the game has been monetized.

Alright folks, here it is. Cryptic needs our money. There are far too many systems in the game that we get for free and I think we should monetize them all. Here are my suggestions with suggested cost:
Transwarp - 1000 dil - The ability to hop across space means we spend less time flying around and therefore less time in the game.
Mission Replays - 500 dil - Consider it a residual payment for the artists involved, like paying royalties.
Sell an item on the Exchange - 1000 dil - It's like those fees Ebay takes whenever you sell something.
Reclaiming a dismissed Zen ship - 100 zen - You're not buying a new ship so Cryptic are losing out.
Wow! Seriously?? And you expect casual players that are using their Dil faster than they can accumulate it on upgrades and such to use Dil for a simple transwarp??
I tell you what...the day these moronic ideas are implemented is my last day playing STO, and I'm sure there are tons of players that would do the same.
I dumped over 1k real $ in this game-and now the bottom line is-i just dont enjoy it anymore-maybe ill be back if they ever bring some 'fun' back to the game
Every time your toon blinks: 10 dilithium
You type something in chat: 100 dilithium
Press the U button: 200 dilithium
Pet a tribble: 500 dilithium
Pet owner tax: 1000 dilithium per pet per day
Having fun: Priceless
Don't forget, our ships run on Dilithium. So lets say 500 dil when entering or leaving a system. 100 dil when transitioning between maps during story missions. Oh and don't forget the constant dil drain when in sector space. I'm thinking 10 dil a second?
wow, after reading all these post its like the ferengi are running things in the background.
I'm kind of expecting the Grand Nagus to start making announcements.

This one's my favourite so far.

Same for Energy Credit (EAT), Zen (ZAT), and Lobi (LAT).
Also don't forget to tax the Doff missions, Upgrades, and Crafting.

you have fun with that.
I'm out.
Thankfully that will be one fee we will never have to worry about paying in this game.:D

5000 dil for a response.
Hey, at least then we'd have the -option- and even -possibility- of a response!
Here is mine:
Purchaseable Specialization Points - 500 Zen per Spec Point. Useable on a level 60 char.
I am quite sure that this has been their plan for a while. Because then the XP nerfs make a lot more sense.
But would you laugh if they took all your ideas and implemented them? well would you?
Think I would be laughing at all of you!

My post is not a joke, it's a prophecy.
So I can come back in a few months and say "See, I told you so!".
LOL! and LOL again
