Now that is something i think we all can live with and a step in the right direction to gibe dilithium the actual meaning that it suppose to have. A time based currency. That gets rewarded for us playing the game in a way we like to play it.

Thank you!

Thank you.

It would have been wonderful if you had also restored some of the random general loot back to the STF's. But at least this is something.

And there was much rejoicing... ok some rejoicing and less mumbling.

It's about time Dan managed to get his head unstuck from that PWE rear of his so rational thinking could return!

Why don't you fix the rest of the things you guys screwed up, DOFF cost, Btran, you have wasted all our time so far why not waste some more and get the game right again?

what will the STF rewards double too during a STF bonus day??

This will make sure the STFs are actually being played. Thank you very much for a wise decision!

Great news!

As I said on the blog just now:

Hey, DStahl, thanks for adding the STF rewards back, and for acknowledging that fun is more important than any sort of ivory-tower design intent. I liked what you said in your forum post: "we would rather you were having fun in Season 7 than worrying about the economy. We have enough of that to deal with in the real world." Exactly. You get it. Good on you, and I mean that most sincerely.

No, really, I can't overstate the degree to which this has restored my confidence in STO. Looking forward to playing for many years to come!

(Still not thrilled with the doff grinder cost, but eh, I can live with it. There are other, better ways to get blue/purple doffs anyway.)
