Anybody agree with me on this? Say yeah!

Untll I see otherwise I will assume the the "placard" discounts the ship price down to the amount of Dilithium you recieve. Ceratinly that what I would do if "I" were doing the coding for it. Or put it sufficently close that a couple exploration daylies would make up the difference. Especially seeing that this issue only kicks in at Commander level where the player should have three exploration zones availible and 3 exploration daylies availible.

Odds are 8000 Ore = 4000 Refined Dilithium

Fine for silver members, but still "unacceptable" for us loyal gold members.
Your still ripping us off, as instead of grinding dailies, PvP and exploration missions for better "equipment" we end up being "forced" to spend it on a new ship instead.

I'm sorry, but the only real solution here is to bring back the Free Ship Token's, at least for subscribers.

But if the sources of Dilithium Ore are limited to dailies, why even bother having a hard cap on how much we can process? We're already technically limited to how much we can get, as a result of how many missions we can do - they're dailies.

The other concern is that you don't actually say how much 1 unit of Ore refines into for Refined Dilithium. 1? 5? 10? 100?

Should also point out that the F2P Dev Blog that you're linking to doesn't talk, at all, about the economic changes. It only talks about Klingons.

You should probably either remove the link, or actually post the Dev Blog dealing with the economic changes.
