Dominion Admiralty

I think it's time for a fifth admiralty set, the Dominion! This would enhance gameplay for all factions and captains of max level or 52 and above at least. Also, a new type of 10/10 reward would be cute (of course a special Admiralty epic card, but the campaign completion should yield something different than Dilithium or XP point or upgrade tech). What do you think?

I was a bit disappointed that the Ferengi admiralty 10/10 rewarded yet another 30k Dil as we get mountains of it already and we are beyond the daily refinement cap anyway here. Would perhaps 1 lobi (or more) crystal(s) instead be too much?
As for the Dominion admiralty 10/10 we could use salvage or if it has to be dil again I’d rather take dil contribution vouchers for fleets.

Quiet a statement for someone suggesting bridge officer rewards out of admiralty campaigns. It’s not as if we would not get them out of basically everything else in game…

I can't think of anything else I want from a ToD, and juggling two of those things is hard enough.
So in other words, just a second Romulan Admirality? I thought people were complaining about the Ferengi Admirality because it was a second Klingon one.
Like attracts like...and, right now, they made Admiralty the main attraction.
Which does nothing for the PvE queues. You put Rep Marks in Admiralty, you put the last nail in the coffin of PvE. Except for the new FE runs....if that. PvP is already pushed out to the extreme edges.... and PvE is getting there, too, with the DPS stuff.
It would be nice to see they try to shore up the casual players for PvP and PvE.
Not just sending us off to crafting, upgrading, re-rolling mods and filling out bars for Rep and Specializations.
Seriously, don't you want to have your friends come back to play with you?
Do you really just want to sit here Admiralty-ing away all by yourselves?
And hope you may catch one of your friends in chat once in a blue moon?
Or find all your friends on the various STO Forums?

that would be fun too
Lobi as a Reward would be fantastic!
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
1. Something entirely new and unique that can't be gotten anywhere else.
2. Even more dilithium, because there's still a chance someone might not be getting their quota every day from the klingon and ferengi campaigns.
3. Something that everybody ignores in favor of the klingon and ferengi campaigns.
In this case, yes. I keep admiralty casually running in the background and as a direct result I don't have to intesively grind PVE queues to afford what I want in STO. I can play whatever, including building in the Foundry, without feeling like I'm making an uncomfortable trade-off to earning potential. Comparing this to other F2P MMO's, I prefer STO's setup.

Why would you rather an item that was more limited in its use? If you got Dilithium, you can use it to donate to the fleet if you want.
Also, hell no. We don't need to negate what little dil sinks the game has.
Unfortunately the enthusiasm of contributing to fleets reaches its limits rather soon when it comes to Dil. That counts at least for most players leaving the job to do it to only a few. With the latest holding we talk about some 65-80mil Dil overall costs which are hard to cope with even for the most enthusiastic players. One can cheat the system a bit with alts but in the end it remains a huge time sink for those who care.

This would be great. They should work as accelerators that increase chance for rarity increase. That would pair very nicely with the Romulan one.
Not really.
As it is right now it rewards Dilithium Ore, that cannot be donated to fleets.. only refined dilithium can be donated to fleets and we have a set amount that we can refine per day. Ore tends to pile up, but we can't do anything with it except refine it at a slow and steady interval.
The big problem with Fleet Dilithium donations is that we can only refine so much per day and donating it to our fleet can be tough because most of us really need the refined Dilithium. Personally, I would love to be able to donate Dilithium to my fleet, but I can't.. I just have too much use for it, it's my main source of income. Since I trade it for Zen it's what gets me store items as well as EC through sales of Master Keys.
If however, instead of getting 30k unrefined dilithium, I got 30k Dilithium Fleet Voucher.. that would be great. I can donate that right over to my fleet and it wouldn't take resources away from me that I need for other things. I can still freely do the the Klingon and/or Ferengi campaigns for my personal supply, but now I can get something that lets me help my fleet develop. My fleet gets their projects going, I get Fleet Credit.. it's a win/win.
A fleet Dilithium voucher reward is actually a very good idea. Some of us would like to donate more to our fleets, we simply can't.
Depending on how much dil actually goes toward fleet donations, you could simply be flooding the market and driving prices down. While fleet donations are fixed along with other uses like upgrades, the remaining markets are variable and will effectively absorb whatever differential is created. While obviously not as sensitive as foreign exchange markets in the real world, the behavior when stuff like Phoenix boxes drop suggests a fairly robust market.
Same impact. You are substituting using ore for refined dil, therefore, more refined dil becomes available for other uses. More dil in the market.
It's not that it would be impossible, but you'd really need to think through the wider economy and brace yourself for swings in traditional value savings vehicles like keys - which would in turn impact the EC value of anything obtained from lockboxes and sold on the Exchange.
The issue comes down to which segment of player base would be most/least impacted. I would be willing to bet that the most profitable segments of the player base for cryptic would be most impacted as they are the ones with the most "resources" invested in the game - people trading in the millions of dil on the market. Even a swing of 250 dil to 255 dil to per zen has a big impact when you're trading in the tens of millions of dil each month.
Well, we have two admiralty campaigns that give us lump sums of dil. It seems logical that the next step would be to add a second xp based admiralty and a second upgrade based admiralty.
