Future MidWeek events or other Dilithium rewards

The Elusive treasures pack has again appeared when I have no chance at the required dilithium to purchase. It was in the twilight days for me between campaign rewards and the daily 100 will not get me to 650. I spent my last dilithium from the midweek on last weeks event pack (good value since no reward options were wasted)
It made me wonder what was the future for the mid-week events, or other events with Dil rewards. I was under the impression it was the start of something new but we have heard nothing back? Was the mid-week just something to test future adjustments to the normal Skirmish? Were the Dilithium rewards just a 1 off thing to get people attention?
@Shan could you please ask for some feedback from our new masters. It would really help me and maybe others to get some idea what to expect so we can plan a little bit. If I had believed peoples comments about the mid-week being a one-off thing then I might have held back some dilithium which I used to hoard in reserve of special deals like this

I will not be surprised if we learn that buckets of Diluthiums were just for us beta testing the Mini-Event. Kind of like how we got a free Legendary for beta testing the Campaigns. Future mini-Events likely Will have different Rewards. Maybe Chronitons in the Threshold. Maybe various quantities of Trainers in various Rarities. Ship Schemes. Or, maybe even more Diluthiums.
This would be nice if its possible from TPs side.
There were questions about it on the player survey. I think it's a little too soon to expect a determination from TP. I'm too lazy to do this, but someone could make a poll on the forum about what players liked about the mini event beta. We can't duplicate the results from TP's poll, but we can approximate the results.
There have been several other serious questions on bugs and other things that significantly affect gameplay (such as the AND bug), shuttle % chance, etc., features and new rewards, etc. We get asked for and provide feedback. Just a hint of a response even would make lot of peace...
In my response above, I note that we can assume they are in the feedback gathering stage. Maybe it would be nice if they explicitly said it, but I personally don't need to be told that when it's abundantly clear by the survey questions.
I recommend reviving this thread in a few weeks after they've had time to gather and possibly begin to process the data. Maybe someone will have information by then.

Or work in a job where they are more busy right now. I'm barely able to keep up with my daily missions.
I have a 13 year old, only comes out for food. Otherwise, it’s Xbox with his friends.
Me too mate. I work in what is considered a "key industry" - transport. The wife is a civil servant so she's trying to keep the country running from home whilst juggling childcare when I have to go out to work. Never been this busy. Like yourself, even the dailies are passing me by.
But I will admit that the game and community brings a certain "normality" to this whole bizarre situation.
Take care all. Love to all who are struggling.
That's rough. I hope everyone recovers soon.
Thank you my friend. I’m on the upswing. The wife is back to being really ill again. It’s playing on my mind cuz I had to go back to work and now she has to man the fort while I’m gone. We just aren’t catching a break
You have to go to work when you are sick? Wth?!
I hope all of you get well soon!
Thank you! And yes, I am here. Drinking tons of Gatorade.
How ever, I 100% agree with this:
(Also, this)
If DB needs testing again on a large scale, you'll see rewards that are worth it. but mini events will not regularly reward that kind of dilithium. i would not expect large influxes of dilithium again unless you are opening up your wallet like the .2% of mega whales out there who sit on tens of thousands of dil.

30 days is an optimistic guess. Also many will have to switch to short-time work soon and be bored. So... /signed!
Something to kill the time these days would be highly appreciated.
I still think you’re wrong about dil not being future rewards in mini-events. When the campaign beta was run, the rewards were pretty similar to what we got in actual campaigns. It’s not EXACTLY the same, I realize, but why run a beta with great rewards, and then completely change the rewards for the real thing? You think that wouldn’t be a HUGE disappointment for the players? Also, in the feedback poll, they specifically asked if one of the things players liked most about it was the rewards. Why bother asking that if they have no intention of including the same rewards? Besides, a regular flow of dil like we saw in the mini beta would solve solve so many player complaints about the game (the cost of crew slots, packs not being worth their cost, new players being at such a crippling disadvantage that the game isn’t even worth playing, etc.) This is one move that potentially solves a lot of problems for a lot of players instead of addressing a 100 small issues separately. Only time will tell. I just don’t think it’s an unrealistic prospect.
While your arguments are valid this would quite devalue regular events though if done weekly. From time to time... possible.
I don’t disagree that it would fundamentally change the dynamic of the game. It most certainly would. But I also think it would make the game more appealing to newer players, and that is an issue that SERIOUSLY needs to be addressed imo.
But, in this scenario, he's the former director. He did not move along to WRG. The game is under the hands of different leadership. The dilithium idea sounded like it was his. no where did he mention it was a shared goal.

True enough. But it seems that he at least thought it was something that would improve the game. It’s not completely unreasonable to think that TP might draw the same conclusion. I just added it as evidence, not proof.
Fair enough. I'm usually one who tries to temper expectations.
