Is there a reason why the 750 dilithium rewards cease at 350 immortalized crew?

It’s seems a bit stingy to just stop the reward at that point... shouldn’t it be ongoing? Anyone who has managed to get to that level and beyond should surely warrant the continuous benefit of maxing more crew... or am I missing something?
On a similar note, I hope there will be extensions to rewards for both voyages and the gauntlet. This brick wall of rewards seems counterproductive to the longevity of the game.

Thank you DB. This was the second post I made about this issue. I hope the voyage rewards can also be extended going forward0

At 2000 dilemmas, you get 5 portals (3* variety). That's not much of a reward, but it is there.
When the achievements were added, very, and I do mean VERY, few players had 350+ immortals - that was a monumental number to overcome. That was about 15 months ago, and there was barely 400 crew in the game at that point.
Since then, obviously we are over 600 and the advent of Voyages and 10x10 pack sales has helped a huge swaft of players hit that magical number.
TL;DR - It was made back when there was 350 in the game, just hasn't been scaled to new totals since.
To be fair, those who exploited the loophole should not lose anything they've already gained. However, going forward, their counters should be corrected.
For example, a player has the following:
- 302 immortal, having cleared the 'immortalize 300' achievement
- 284 unique immortal crew (18 duplicates)
Once the change happens, their immortal count will be corrected to be at 284. They won't be able to unlock the 'immortalize 300' achievement a second time, but they will be 18 immortalized crew further away from the 'immortalize 350' achievement today than they were yesterday.
What?! That's silly. If you want to immortalize more that one copy of a character you should be able to but it doesn't make sense that you could get credit for that toward the achievement.
If you can get that far it does make sense for the rewards to keep coming. I'm not in danger of getting close to the 350 mark so it doesn't really affect me.
Yeah, I've got done duplicated crew, but each of them is a different 4* crew.
Never dubbed a 1,2 or 3.
I hope they do expand the achievement lines and add even more to them and the collections too.
I don’t mean all new achievements, though those would be welcome as well
How so very surprising, lol
I think you hit the nail on the head. They aren't trying to incentivize the re-immortalizing of 1-star crew, but the achievement currently does count that. If they were to change the achievement to only count unique immortalized crew, those who didn't get the benefit of the old system of counting would be upset. I've somehow doubled one immortalized crew -- I don't know which one -- but otherwise mine are all unique. But then, I've discovered that approach is more unique than I thought.
Captain Level: 95
VIP Level: 12
Unique Crew Immortalized: 525
Collections Completed: Vulcan, Ferengi, Borg, Romulan, Cardassian, Uncommon, Rare, Veteran, Common, Engineered, Physician, Innovator, Inspiring, Diplomat, Jury Rigger, Gauntlet Legends
Yep, and start the "unique immortalized crew" at 350. Problem solved.
Perfect!

FWIW, the April Q&A did not touch on Achievements at all, but did indicate a willingness to expand collections:

I'm similar to you. I've only doubled one crew. I believe it was tuvok who I immortalized before tuvix existed, then lost him when I made tuvix, then did him again to complete the 3*. Other than that I've only immortalized crew once.
I hope DB appreciates how well and amicably we can solve their problems.
Shouldn't putting 10 1*-trainers on a 1*/2* crew from the time portal and equipping one item suffice?

It was never in my plans to start duping crew, but it was more or less put upon me when I started getting 4/4 crew for ranked event rewards that I already had immortalized. Some aren't worth more than the 800 honor for airlocking, but some would be doubling the 2nd or 3rd best crew I had in a stat (Combat Medic Paris for a recent example) in addition to giving a second strong event crew for a future event. That was enough to finally make me decide having duplicates is okay. I can't ever see me duping 1-3 stars just to add to a count though.
