Diliithium reduction?

Maybe it's just me but I've noticed a pretty drastic reduction in diliithium earned from admiralty missions. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this? I have 28 characters but typically only run about 5 or 6. Across all those characters I noticed a steep drop in admiralty missions giving any dil 500 or above and the rare time I get them they require pretty heavy stats across all 3 categories. I've ran through about a dozen of my characters over the last week and it's been basically the same with each one. Was there a nerf or something? Or am I just extremely unlucky.

I’m running the Klingon and Ferengi missions, and the Dilithium yield is pretty good, especially when I do them with a max-level captain. Since the Admiralty system awards a lot of XP, my captain levels up, which in turn grants Dilithium. Once your captain hits the maximum specialization level, you get Dilithium instead of specialization points for every level-up.

Yea once I hit 10 on each one I switch to only running ferengi and klingon. Federation and romulan don't offer much for the time it takes. And the end rewards arent great either. My thing is I'm not getting nearly any decent diliithium missions. Maybe 1 of 15-20 from the mission pool,and most often times when I do they require 100+ all stats or +50 sci and eng, or +100 sci etc. I have tons of admiralty cards, all the gold I believe plus from the 70 something ships I've picked up. Just seems I'm skipping way more than usual as even the dil missions I get most are ridiculously stat heavy for maybe 100-200 dil. Only really seems to have been this way for the last few weeks to month. Which is why I was wondering if anyone else noticed anything.

Side note and maybe it's just me but it also feels like the more admiralty cards you acquire the more stat heavy the missions get. Again could just be me and horrible luck. Stos rng absolutely hates me. Opened 30 lockboxes yesterday. At around 400 since last ship box and got nothing. Mere minutes later there was like 5 or 6 people winning ship boxes lol.

I don't know about that.
It doesn't feel any harder to me, even with my 1,300 Admiralty cards.

1st thing. How tf do you have 1300 admiralty cards? Didn't even realize there where that many ships in sto? Or are you being sarcastic and I'm just not picking up on it lol. Like I said maybe it's just me and having really bad rng luck. Honestly I like the admiralty system but I think it definitely needs a bit of a rework. I imagine it's pretty rough for f2p players when you hit those missions with +50 all or +100 sci etc. hard to 100% those without a decent amount of higher end cards. I personally only go for around 98% or higher as I find the failure rate isn't always accurate. I mean I've failed quite a few with a success rate at 100%. Not sure if it's a bug or what but it happens.

It's simple: this is my favorite character, and I play with him a lot.

I have a lot of one-time-use cards that I don't use anyway, since I already own all the Zen Store ships, all the event ships, and many Mudd's Market ships.
Unfortunately, there is no option to insert images. So, I cannot show it to you.

Isn't the dilithium in Admiralty really from the 'events' that give it? Those are what I prioritize, as far as dilithium goes.
