a way to spend dilithium ore?

currently my fav toon has more than 500 000 dilithium ore, and i think that is a waste. We can refine only 8000 per day (or more with the lifetime stuff), even if I played every day, I won't be able to use all this dilithium ore. I would need x years. I stopped the admiralty, because I can't spend the specialization points (all is full, and i have 16 points), I can't spend the dil ore etc.
we earn too many dil ore in comparison with the possibility of refining it.
Maybe we could have a way to use the dil ore. Not for the upgrades, the rep etc but maybe for the old lobi stuff, like clothes etc, + a new store ...
but with correct prices, the clothes from the dil store are ridiculously expensive.
I bought some stuff from the lobi store and wow that was disappointing, the voth soldier uniform for example is really outdated + It has glitches; 200 lobi for this TRIBBLE, ouch it is pain in the a.. .

This is a good problem to have. Play alts, refine more dil. Stacks of unrefined are good since you can bank on having them every day while you earn MORE dil on other characters.
How about no, Scott? I like the game the way it is and I don't want it to shut down for good.
The prices are correct and are working as intended.
(it would also be really annoying for the folks who don't have lots of unrefined sitting around, because they don't constantly cap out on refining. Given that they'd have to skip on refining, in order to buy these things...
Those things were deliberately made that expensive, to be a dilithium sink.
yeah, it is such a dil sink, that I have never seen a player with these costumes.
why would the game stop? would not it be a desire to keep exclusivity for lobi stuff? most of these items are outdated.
There's a doff mission you can get on New Romulus for trading for Romulan Ale. THAT uses unrefined dil as the cost to start the mission.
My character Tsin'xing
He's got raw ore. Not refined. Can't use the raw ore until its refined.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
it would be interesting that when you have unlocked by doing the mission, the set pieces (that means doing the mission 3 times, and it is enough for the crypic's stats); we can buy for our boffs the set for DIL ORE in a new store or a replicator, well something! (at a reasonable price, if the price for 1 piece is 20 000, 30 000 or more no thx!)
At least, this dil ore would have an utility even for low a level character. btw my lvl 44 boff has already 31950 dil ore
I won't be parking my main for over a year to stop adding new ore and just refine what I have.

like I said, I have 10 toons, well now 11. AND like I said most of them have a ton of dil ore: 200 000/300 000/400 000.
I have all that I wanted for them (epic, stuff etc etc etc).
this is just a waste of ressources and time like I wouldn't be able to use all this dil ore, EARNT at playing the game.
i don't want a change of the game, everything can stay like it is currently. That wouldn't be difficult to add a mechanism for using the dil ore: fleet project, crafting "old school". Instead of doing 8 times the same mission for weapons; caustic plasma for example, they could add a way to craft this weapon and others ( available from missions).
yeah, i could spend a lot of dil ore (currently my main has 650 000 dil ore, this stupid number increases every day, but i can't use only 8000 refined per day; ridiculous), if i want low prices, this is not only for me but also for the other players, i'm tired by the elitism in this game (a ridiculous coat at 1 000 000 mil refined dil, lobi stuff ...). Instead of creating 1 dil sink from time to time, the devs should create a permanent dil sink, by first of all increase the amount of dilithium that we can refine per day.
why the prices should be so high, if you have unlocked the 3 pieces of a set by doing the same mission again, again and again, maybe it would be reasonable to be fair with the player who have unlocked the set.
I don't understand why all must be expensive in this game, low/fair prices = more sales, high prices = less sells. it is 1 of the rule of the economy.
You earned unrefined dil and you got it. Now you have to earn refined dil by playing the game even more. That's the rules.
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
Agree with all of this. Dilithium ore is nothing to get and refine, but if the refining cap is raised then the market gets flooded and prices on the dil-zen exchange rise. I saw it happen when the exchange nearly reached the cap of 500 before it went down with the introduction of the Phoenix box.
So no, I don't see using the ore for currency. I have one toon that is close to 500k ore because I play her exclusively on that acct. Right now the only thing I'm spending it on is quick upgrades if I need it and the T6 reputation fleet module and project discount.
I also don't really try to amass dilithium right now, though I could. Couple hours of play without using Admiralty or Doffing and I can still amass the 8k daily cap.
Stop focusing on the "I need maximum resource grind!" benefits, and concentrate on the game play benefits. It's a game after all, you play it.
This is how I look at it as well. I have a couple of my characters that have excess unrefined, those are 2 less admiralty queues I have to do every day. I just play them when I feel like it at whatever content I feel like playing.
Usually, I set the threshold about 300-350k unrefined. When I get to that point, I stop doing 'daily dilithium grind' on them until they get back around the 100-150k mark. Makes it so I don't have to do every single alt every single day.
