Ok, so if you haven't noticed, you can now access new duty assignments by exploring the interior of your ship and talking to some of your officers. In addition to this, there are new contacts all around bases in the game. There are some behind the library building in Starfeet Academy, some on ESD, Ds9, etc. I have not explored them all to see what they offer, but one I just found is really worth looking into.
In the Center of ESD, you will find an officer that allows you to turn in 3 units of contraband in a duty assignment. If you succeed, you get 2000 dilithium out of the deal! That makes contraband worth around 667 dilithum each! At the time of this post, Contraband is going for ~47000 energy credits on the exchange. That means for little under 150,000 energy credits you can get 2000 dilithuim, making dilithuim worth only ~75 e-creds per unit! I jumped on this deal and bought up all the contraband I could under 50k. It is not an amazing ammount of dilithum, but it is the best way I have seen yet to turn e-creds into dilithum. You must keep in mind this a duty assignment, so it takes time(2hrs I believe), and it has a medium casualty risk.
Has anyone else found some cool assignments? Or better yet, a more efficient way to get dilithum!
EDIT: unfortunately, I think people are catching on because by the time I posted this, it appears that the price for contraband has already gone up to around 60-70k. It is still a bargain though, unless I am missing a better way to get dilithum. I already bought 15 contraband, + the three already in my assignment.
EDIT2: It also appears that the assignment has no risk of failure, only risk of casualty.
