DilEx graph for Sept 2025

I had a busy day yesterday and wasn't able to comment upon the latest developments. The DilEx backlog spiked another 500k between Thursday and Friday mornings, from 14,901,465 to 15,484,868. We added another ~200k since then, and we're now over 15,680,000.

These are my first observations over 15M

Also, we just passed the 14 million Zen mark in the backlog again today. We had been below 14 million since 18 December 2024.

There was a panel at Tribecta Film Festival, and Akiva Goldsman revealed SNW was almost cancelled after 4 seasons, but they were able to "negotiate" for the 6 epsiodes needed to get from SNW to TOS. The rushed ending of Discovery apparently helped them sell it.

Also, after that run was completed, the log file with two Infected and one Hive (all solo/Normal) was at a little over 6MB (5.78 MiB)

He's also been in STO since its early days as well. I don't think he gives PvP missions anymore, but Captain Mackenzie Calhoun can still be found on K-7.

The DilEx has continued a gradual reduction since the end of the event. I just observed it dropping below the 9 million mark this morning.

@counselor-sunna.bsky.social In case no one's pointed it out yet, the Zen store's individual listing for the Shangri-La Command Warship has the wrong information (looks to be copied from the Atlantis Temporal Destroyer)
March 11, 2025 at 9:35 PM
Since I hadn't reported any recently, here's the ones offered in 2025 that have completed. I don't have completion date in the spreadsheet itself, the last three have completed on 27-Feb, 28-Feb, and 1-Mar respectively.

The T5-X2 Blockade Runner is still in my roster, instead running the Appalachia skin. Named this one the USS Cascadia, since Appalachia and Cascadia are both geographic regions - I may have put more thought into the Cascadia's name than I did the Firestorm those decades ago.

26 years ago, I ran a Star Trek email Sim/RPG set aboard the Steamrunner-class USS Firestorm. I had to recreate her in STO with a canonical-ish build, where she serves as my main ship.(While I used the T5 Blockade Runner originally, using the Appalachia with the Steamrunner skin these days)

As that was my last outstanding offer from 2024, here's what the combo graph looks like, and sorry if its hard to read. The vertical red lines are the number of days an offer was in the backlog while the blue line shows the backlog amount.

Sol Defense does have a third trail from the Ahwahnee and Cheyenne from "unexpected" locations (eg the shuttlebay for the Cheyenne). Dakota and Constellation Hulls have visible impulse engines, and while I don't have Constellation parts the Dakota's third engine has the visuals match its location.
February 14, 2025 at 4:59 PM
The Sol Defense Impulse Engines equipped in the visual slot also produce a third (fiery) engine trail from the dome, including while in Sector Space

Both characters I tested with just used the "Stargazer" preset from the ship tailor on an Ahwahnee. The Ahwahnee was freshly claimed on one character

I have been able to reproduce it with some consistency.

Requirements: Stargazer hull, Pedal to the Metal trait.

When reaching full impulse, the first two activations of the trait's visual produce a red flare "ahead" of the aft dome. The third activation also includes the additional trail effect

End of month DilEx graph for Jan 2025. As we've been mostly consistent +/- the 11.4m mark, zoomed in the vertical axis to better show the daily variations.
January 31, 2025 at 3:26 PM
I've recorded similar during that time period. We've been consistently close to 11.4m for the past 2 weeks.
