So it seems that Cryptic decided to nerf the Admiralty system even further with the new patch from yesterday.
Before yesterdays patch, the ToD levels would give give 2.5k dil after completing them.
After logging in again when the servers went up, this is now changed. I've gotten R&D packs, spec points, pass tokens or just plain exp only.
There is no mention of this in the latest patch notes,so hy the further nerf or the admiralty system, and why did Cryptic do this silently?

Until Cryptic fixes the bugs and the huge lag problem, i refuse to give them a single cent. A company that charges hundreds of dollars but can't even give a stable bugfree game (or at least doesn't have bugs that are years and years old), doesn't deserve my money.
Also when coming back after 2 years not playing STO, spending $30 and getting hit immediately with a 7 day account probation.
This shows very little respect from cryptic towards their playerbase and, this is another reason to not spend any single cent on this game.

To clarify: no idea if getting the 2.5k was intended, or if stopping getting the 2.5k was intended. Just noticed and noted to self to stop utilizing fed/rom tracks generally on all but maybe one char.
Oo didn't know there was announced 2.5k addition to tours for an event?
Thanks for info - I must have missed that note somehow.
Yes you're right, i completely missed the bonus dil part in the admiralty bonus event announcement.
So in general, admiralty has lost it's purpose and is pretty useless now.

Klingon is very useful now in my opinion, and ferengy also still has its uses, IMO, but yes, fed/rom are pretty useless for maxed chars.
I understand now why I missed the announcement - I don't have any char which had a particular interest in skill points (some are not full but nothing urgent for me and I have done the recruitment tasks account-wide) or simple leveling or track leveling, practically.
Fleet dil vouchers is only to support fleet projects no?

Yes as far as I know. (I don't know 100% what will happen in that regard) But I needed that

If your fleet is finished, have enough provisions (and decorations if you care about such) then it's not useful for you. However, you do get dil on many klingon's admiralty system missions and this can be taken into an account for individual missions.

We have this mechanism that translates virtual levels we reach beyond maxed spec points into additional dil.
If the random dil we get from regular assignments happens to be the same in all 4 campaigns I’d go so far as to claim ferengi and fed campaigns the most useful for plain dil now because fed 10/10 grants 2 direct spec points translated to dil.
Of course if one aims for fleet dil, kdf all the way.

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.
I'd expect you will easily get more dil running regular assignments in KDF and ferengi than trying to get the Fed TOD for spec points conversion.
The Fed campaign does give out a lot of assignments that give out extra XP, so it will fill the spec point bar faster than any other campaign. Does it work out to be a better option counting that? I don't know.
Yeah, still need to crunch numbers on it.. but the thought is that since you get so much more XP for the Fed Campaign, you will level your character at the same time converting those spec points into Dilithium along the way. Overall though, it could be quicker to just run the other tours for the per mission DIlithium, especially if you have the 10/10 buff from the Ferengi track active.
There is of course, the other problem that this only works with a character that has filled all of his/her skill trees.. otherwise you just get the 2 skill points.
At first, I thought the Fed path might be on par with others for the skill point rewards, but it's what? 2800 Dilithium per skill point? Overall, it will likely prove to be the slowest method overall.

You can keep running provisioning projects forever, though. Those can also be useful for fleet members who still need fleet credits for more gear, and to make sure that there's always enough provisions on hand for those that want more gear. I have become the day-to-day leader of my Fed fleet, and run provisioning projects in every category that is finished, but doesn't have at least 1,000 provisions on hand right now. That gives members something to use to earn fleet credits. Once the Colony is finished (currently 2 tracks doing the final slog from Tier 4 to Tier 5, and 1 track almost to Tier 4) I will slowly phase out any track that has more than 1,000 provisions until the last one gets there, then will fill all tracks and keep them full, specifically so that my fleet members always have a place to contribute something for fleet credits. There's no benefit to leaving slots empty.
