I was wondering what people generally use dilithium for: If you use dilithium for multiple things...

Synthetic Commander

Extra cadet missions

Most consistent use is a second round of Thursday cadets with ad doublers, because having a pile of speed boosts is so critical to top 1k of faction events now.

Sporadic purchases of event packs to chase new game-exploding tuesday legendaries or good event packs (Such as a second star on sisko I got lucky with yesterday), but beyond monthly card I don't buy a lot so these are infrequent for me.

Dabo sometimes. I have so may damn shirts, I might as well run my own Belk location.

Proont

Event packs / general packs

#1 Buy up to 4 shuttles.
#2 Buy crew slots until they get too expensive.
#3 Event packs.

Nothing else seems like a good use of my dilithium.

Slots.
Then voyage extensions if I forget to recall, but can't do that anymore until I use all my revive tokens.

I use dil for: 1. buying packs; 2. Shuttle boosts for faction events; 3. Occasional Supply kits (when I'm going to level frenzy)

I don't have the patience to save for crew slots (and 5 doesn't seem worth it).
