I'm usually more on the Fan boy side of things but not on this one.

Wth an 8,000 daily limit and a 1 to 1 conversion of ore to refined it will take forever to gear out top tier ships especially given the prices.

This has got to change. Either the limit needs to change or the coversion ratios need to change.

I'm also with you on this. This ratio is unacceptable. Either increase the limit to something in the neighborhood of 25k or change the ratio to 1:3.

Take a look at the Idea had.
Think is in my sigy.

I think it would go a long way if Cryptic could tell us what direction they are taking with this game, looking at F2P Beta and as my siggy says, I regret buying LTS but I'm happy I never have to pay again. Cryptic are gonna ruin this game and I'm not trying to flame or troll, it is how I sincerely feel about my beloved Star Trek Online. Having a single economy used for so much when we can earn so little will make people feel like the only way to compete and play the game is to buy c-points to get other peoples dilithium. Cryptic please tell us that F2P Beta has a very exaggerated economy and at live it will be refined into something more usable.

Well, they *are* watching the forums, so they might do something soon (tm).
