For those who use dilithium:- what do you mostly use it for?

If I missed anything please comment and add your answer... and feel free to state something you’d never use dilithium for.

There are a maximum of ten poll options, so I cannot include every possibility.

    Event packs 650/72dil per time
    I use dil primarily for event packs:
    Next would be for extra cadet missions for credits and 3* shuttle boosts. Then it’d be extending voyages from time to time.... but this is done a lot less now since the rewards for doing so seem less bountiful.

    Saving every drop for crew slot sale. Perhaps after that I'll go for Theme/event packs.
  • Event packs 650/72dil per time
    1st=event packs, 2nd=voyages, 3rd=dabo, but it's about a 90% / 9% / 1% split

    1. Crew slots.
    2. Extra shuttles until I reached four.
    3. occasional AM refills
    4. an event pack once every few months
    5. an occasional extra spin on Dabo
  • Event packs 650/72dil per time
    Mostly event packs, occasional theme packs if I want to feel dumb at hoping to get some 4* not FF, extending a voyage when I've forgotten to recall in time and the odd credit boost when I absolutely, positively, need some to immortalise someone.

    Currently I split fairly evenly between voyage extensions (when forgetfulness or rewards make it practical) and event packs. I’ll do a theme pack only if I really, really want someone (Mirror Cochrane, for example) or if one or none of the featured crew have already been immortalized.

    Most of my Dil has gone to slots.

    You left off crew spots.

    Aside from crew spots, I refresh voyages once or twice a week.

    I would buy event packs if we had crew spots.

    Mainly event packs but only for faction events when I need to finish the threshold crew. I will buy theme packs if I need 2/3 of the 4* crew. I also extend Voyages but usually only if I'm trying to preserve something good. I am however trying to presently fish out a Colonel Worf since I got lucky and got the first 2 parts on the first two dilemma's.

    I use it for a combo of Event and theme packs. Just about equally.

    Once or twice a week to extend good voyages. and ALWAYS ALWAYS at least 6 extra Cadet tix on Saturday. You can never have enough credits! Otherwise the rare event pack when it looks like a character I want or need.
    I want to become a Dilionaire...

    Once you have your fourth shuttle and some cheap crew slots, event packs are the way to go. Save up a month or two of daily dilithium then buy a bunch of event packs in which there is a really good legendary with skills you need. See how many legendary copies of that event crew you can get, lvl him/her up for the event, and finish him/her with honor.

    Other: Crew slots .. *shrug* I don't see much worth in anything else .. got 4 shuttles already .. just keep expanding crew slots ... so I don't struggle too much figuring out who to airlock ;)

    Voyages (antimatter refills and speeding up recalls)
    Don't know as if I would say I use it for any one of these more than the other, but the poll mechanics don't allow multiple ticks, so here are a few things I spend Dilithium on:
    • Voyage AM refills
    • Occasional extra cadet tickets
    • Event packs


    Things I never do:
    • Pay to insta-return a Voyage
    • Purchase Gauntlet revives
    • Buy extra Dabo spins
    • Purchase 6500 Dil packs


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

    Event packs 650/72dil per time
    Pretty much always event packs, I like knowing what I'm going to get within that very narrow range. Voyages I'm just kind of letting them go to the 6hr mark I can manage for free then pulling them back - a couple of weeks ago I boosted one to 10hr for the achievement, one of these days (when I happen to have saved up a bunch of Dil and there's nothing I really want coming up in the next event) I'll wait for a promising start and run it through to 20hr, but after that I think I'll probably just go back to free voyages.

    I do very occasionally grab something out of a faction store, if my Dil reserves aren't running low and it's only 50 and it's the last whatever I need to make some high-level gear that'll round off someone I've been pouring a lot of chrons into all day. It's not really an efficient use of Dil, but I like that "Ha, finished it!" feeling enough that I don't mind.
  • Event packs 650/72dil per time
    Almost exclusively event packs if it’s early enough in an event and if there are at least two I don’t have FF’d. Otherwise I’ll occasionally splurge on a best chance pack (I know, I know, the futility) for a chance at crew I reeeeally want *cough* Okona *cough*

    After I got my fourth shuttle, I only extended Voyages twice - once to get the Achievement, and the second because of falling asleep on a Voyage where a crew member dropped I had been waiting for forever. Now I'm saving all my dilithium for the mythical crew slot sale - with only 80 slots, there's no point in spending it on anything resulting in more crew since I wouldn't have room.

    Event packs 650/72dil per time
    Event Packs and Theme Packs, but actually mostly just the regular Premium Packs. I'd say I feel like I usually have better luck with the regular Premium Portal than Event Packs, but I DID just get three Vreenaks out of four pulls of the Fire With Fire pack, so. Still, most events have either one 4* that I don't want or one that I've already got 4/4, so I end up spending most of my dil on the regular Premium Packs.

    I extend 2950 AM voyages until I can get two dilemmas with one refill or up until I just make it to dilemma.

    I spin 2 xtra DABO spins a day until I have all crew leveled.

    On Saturday cadet missions I buy two xtra sets of tickets until all crew are leveled.
    On Thursday cadet missions I buy two xtra sets of cadet tickets until I do not have dil. or am unwilling to buy more dil.

    Occasionally on cadet missions I need faction items I will attempt xtra tickets but if item does not drop I will not get xtra tickets.

    Cadet missions refills (state which ones in comments)
    Besides event packs and an occasional voyage refill, I use it regularly on Thursdays and Saturdays to get 12 extra tickets for more rare or better shuttle boosties and more credits. If I need a lot of 2* Romulan Crests or 2* Encoded Communiqués, I occasionally get 6 or 12 extra tickets on Sundays and / or Tuesdays as well, just like the last few weeks, because of the Romulans and they need both in great numbers.

    Theme packs 6500/650 dil per time
    Theme packs, if I am missing stars on all three 4*, I won't buy if a chance of only getting airlock honor.

    I'll buy an event pack only on shuttle only weeks, to try for last star on 3/4 crew. Galaxy and Hybrid give me those with community rewards, so too great of a chance for 5/4.

    If no packs for that given week, I'll spend on Saturday challenge for the credits.

    Event packs 650/72dil per time
    I mainly use dilithium to purchase event packs during faction events, if the threshold crew is new for me, in order to get the final star.

    The only other way I use dilithium is to extend voyages, but only when doing so means I will get 2 additional dilemmas. Very rarely I will need to extend voyages because life/work gets in the way and the voyage fails, but I'm pretty good at avoiding that scenario.
