Star Trek Online: Introducing Dilithium as Currency

The latest "Path to Free to Play" blog post on the Star Trek Online site deals with a new feature introduced on the Tribble PTS: Dilithium.

Dilithium is now a new form of currency for players to collect. Dilithium can be earned through "ranking up" in level. Each level gained yields a cache of refined dilithium. In addition, there are several ways that players can earn dilithium ore which can be refined at a later point.

The blog post also goes into some detail about the sorts of things that dilithium can be spent on.

Read the entire blog post on the Star Trek Online site.

Thanks to Piasek for the tip!

    I sure hope they are getting rid of the other 15 forms of currency in the game before introducing a new one.

    WTF?  How about just working with Gold-Pressed Latinum?  Dilithium is an engine component.  How many carberators for that phaser, Mr. Spock?  Got some spark plugs I can throw in to sweeten the deal...

    They are greatly reducing the number of weird currencies they have.

    The whole dilithium currency is a farce, all it is is a method to railroad you into buying their C-points to get anything serious accomplished.  It is time gated and attached to very limited content in a content scarce game.  Sorry Cryptic, I have been a supporter for 18 months but the past content drought and the terrible development cycles make this a no go.

    If you are looking for a sci-fi game, well hopefully TOR will fill your needs but don't hold your breath!

    Seriously? Just how bad can they screw this up? I think the worst is yet to come.

     

    Take the best IP and just totally miff it. What a bunch of morons,...
