How do you spend your dilithium?
Hey. Just started to get the monthly dilithium again and was wondering how most of you spend it. I already have 4 shuttles and while I do occasionally have an overflow of crew I think I’m good at 135 crew slots now that I have a plan.
So my question is how do you guys spend your dilitium. Do you guys use them for voyages? Or packs to get more crew or ships?

Oh I also sometimes buy extra tickets for Thursdays. You can never have too many shuttle boosts.

That's not at all a bad thing if you have the discipline. You would be primed and ready for a crew slot sale or some other special deal should it interest you. I just can't ever keep it long enough to take advantage.
I've just started playing seriously again after a significant break, so am still very much learning my way around, but for the most part I spend my Dil on event packs and reviving Voyages that have run out of AM.
1. Voyage.
2. Have fun. If something isn't fun, don't do it.
3. Only pursue characters I care about.
4. Contribute to the fleet.
5. No more spending beyond monthly cards.
6. Have fun.
7. Voyage.
8. Have fun!
Ha!
1) All 4 shuttles.
2) Slots! (During sale only.)
3) Thursday cadet tickets (once or twice).
4) Extend voyages (most value at 2,900+ AM).
5) Occasional Event packs, especially during faction or skirmish.
6) Discount packs like event recap or mega event discount packs such as the previous Survivalists.
7) Very rarely Tuesday packs, but only for new SR crew or personal favorites like Usurper Lorca, whom I did not get, so this is very, vary rare for me.
OP is done with #1 and at a comfortable level for #2. Consider saving up to 1,500 for next slot sale unless you really don't need it. #3 is only relevant if you want to be competitive in faction events. #4 may and may not have value. It depends on where you are with voyaging. #5 and #6 are a toss-up to me. It depends on what crew are available and what you need. #7 is such a gamble that I really don't recommend it unless you really, really want the card and don't mind a bunch of failures.
The 10-dil-spin on Dabo I do as well.
And I buy featured packs if I have someone from it (so no 100% chance that it will consume another slot) but noone FF. This is getting rarer and rarer though.
With 245 slots I feel like I have enough, as a digital messie I am just managing them horribly.
Final Mega-packs I also spend on as long as no more than 3 cards among the offer are FF. I really hate buying honor.
Currently I am sitting on 9k+ dil with no dedicated purpose.
I don't spend Dilithium for the Dabowheel, because i want to save myself from all that frustration, same goes to Event-packs (except when i could possibly need/use everyone of the three guaranteed crew).
Spending on voyages is okay, but i have enough of those refresh-tokens at the moment.
I never tried that, but I can see the advantage. What does it cost to recall an 8 hour voyage?
I wonder what the math says about this tactic....say, over the course of a month.
Additional possible voyages versus additional items/chrons/honor of longer voyages.
Paying 300 dil to retrieve a voyage seems a steep price to pay versus extending a voyage for 6 hours more.
Where's a stat nerd when you need one?
That being said.....it does seem to be at a daily cost of 400+ dilithium.....or 3000 per week.
Plus.....on a relative cost basis of chrons for dilithium.....I'd wager that you pay more doing it this way.
