My guess is the system counts up your total number of items, with normal Salvage and MkXI tech countsing as 2 and prototypes stuff counting as 3. Since EDC's are 5 per 1K Dil they convert in a fsshion thats very beneficial whilst everything else dosen't. Haven't got any toons with any more EDc's on them but i thought i'd drop this in.
Could anyone with a large number of unconverted EDC's live side do some better testing on this?

Basically 10 EDC is roughly equivalent to 100 Omega Marks. Rare Salvage and Proto Salvage are (stupidly) taking more of a hit. Same for unspent Mk XI/XII Requisitions and Rare/Proto Techs.
The conversion is Tiered and biased to casual players (as stated by Cryptic devs: a casual player plays for 3 hours a week) and won't have nearly as much STF currency as I do. Also the more you have, the higher your Tier and the bigger conversion loss you take from diminishing returns until its really really painful.
