Hoarders of Star Trek Timelines

The recent running gag on the forums about hoarding resources in the game combined with the occasional screenshots shared by various folks showcasing their resources inspired me to start this thread to encourage my fellow hoarders to show off their collections!
I recently passed 200,000 chronitons and that combined with my supply of 3* time reducers finally going below 50 was the genesis of my sudden desire to start this thread now rather than continue to build up my reserves. I want to encourage all the hoarders to proudly show off their stockpiles and everyone else to marvel at the display!
I will go first. I know there are some out there with far more impressive caches than mine, but I will go first because somebody has to. I hope we can all find some enjoyment from this experience
I've also got a LOT of stockpiled ship schematics but I suspect I am not alone there, but this is what I've got. OK, who's next?!

Because we keep getting more from events etc, despite doing his for nearly three months, I'm down to 78 supply kits.
I am in no way, shape or form a hoarder and thus have nothing to contribute in that regard, but I have to note that unintentionally or not you have just coined an utterly fantastic portmanteau! I am assuming you meant to type ‘consider’ but it accidentally came out as cansider.
This is fantastic because that could have also been phrased as ‘can consider’ but that is somewhat ungainly to say and hear.
Thus cansider!
Portmanteaus FTW!!!
Used to keep ~4K merits, but the Dabo credit sale convinced me to stock up for the next unexpected currency sale extravaganza.
I also have 55 supply kits. I really thought I was crushing it on that stash, but I see now that I am but a minnow in a sea of hoarding sharks! 😳
I think I wanted to write "can consider". Or something like that. No idea what my brain was up to
I think it is brilliant. It truly is a fantastic contraction of a slightly awkward pairing.
Thus the living English language evolves.
I am all in favor of it being widely adopted and you should totally take credit for it! 👍

Cansider is amazing. It’s like pottery.
It’s funny...the only reason I think I have as many merits as I do is because of the Gauntlet. I refresh maybe once every few months at the most, so it is a huge net positive.
I open boost packs pretty much whenever I get them, only saving some on rare occasions when my single portal pack stockpile runs low and I don’t want to spend credits to fulfill the daily mission. And as a result of the Dabo sale, I stopped buying merit packs so I can change my reserve level to 100,000 from 5,000 and intend to save credits (barring Crew Retrieval purchases) until I hit 100,000,000.
I can understand how everything accumulates, but my goodness, how do some of you end up with so many chronitons? I don't feel like I spend mine a crazy amount outside of skirmishes and galaxy (mostly just to hit the dailies) - it boggles my mind that some people are sitting on 200k or 300k!
I was hoping that doing this thread would help be cansider finally cashing in some of my stash, but so far it has had the opposite effect
For some reason now I'm conscience of my credits and stopped doing pulls, they dont seem to grow very quickly.
As for me, I have never hoarded credits in more than 3 years. I just let them accumulate. I buy certain items every day from the faction stores if it is for credits. I never look twice at build costs or replicator costs. Of course, I use the replicator very seldomly. Using the replicator means saving chronitons, but using the chronitons gains you experience and credits. I spend 5 to 8 thousand chronitons each galaxy or skirmish event. Sometimes more. This gets me more credits. I also get maximum credits on the weekend by carefully timing cadet missions and ads. I spent about 70 million last honor sale on the basic pulls for honor, and I bought most of the Dabo-for-credits. When I began, I read so much about credit shortages that I kept a couple million as a stockpile for a month or so before I far surpassed that. Only once did I have credit issues, and that was one weekend when I was a few months in and leveled 10 crew in a weekend. That ran me out. So, no, I will not hesitate to spend credits on retrieval. I know credits are a big issue to many, but I don't know why. It's not like I don't immortalize crew. I have 570 immortalized and only a small number of 4* are duplicates (plus one 2* accident).
The only things I intentionally hoard are honor and dilithium, and that is so that I can intentionally use as much as possible when the sales come.
I fall short on supply kits, but I am slowly creeping up there with honor.
I usually try to keep the # of free boosts, or crew packs low ... because they're so painful to open "en masse" ...
So I usually use them for the dailies, "open 3 per day" .. and then the resulting crew I use for the level up, equip, and even the away mission and space battles .. (just farm some random items on those crew)
literal LOL
Oh believe me, I understand that. On my alt I've actually timed myself opening those packs so I know what I'm up against, I just started hoarding those trying to get over 1,000 simply because it is absolutely absurd! I've got enough Premium booster packs I could crack open to keep myself afloat in the meantime, I think I'll continue the climb to 1,500!
We have similar credit stashes, so maybe I'm not the guy you're trying to ask, but... I get huge influxes of credits via skirmish, then burn them away on 90K pulls to add honor. After the most recent skirmish, I (mostly) didn't do any credit pulls so I'd be ready for the retrieval system. I expect to keep a 10-12M credit floor now to fuel the retrieval process, but otherwise I won't be trying to hoard it. The retrieval process doesn't seem likely to supplant the honor-citation process, so I'll be turning credits into honor again soon enough.
178,764,979 credits.
I keep a stash of 10m credits. It used to be 2m but they after the dabo credit sale I upped my stash. I also have to keep a Retrieval buffer now.
I'd rather just have the honour. I don't have all the stat buff collections completed yet so it won't hurt me to keep pounding away at those.
Just rookie numbers as someone said above. I will go through all my merits during the next crew slot sale in merit pulls and all my dilithium will go to slots. And I'll go through enough 90k credit pulls during the honor sale to be able to do another 40k begold if those appear again, then whatever left may go to crew retrieval, then hoard again until the next sales.
