The toon I am running on tribble completed all of the reps to tier 5 but never claimed a reputation token. This copy was the main toon that completed all of the reputations 1st then created the tokens on the live system for the other toons on the account so I know it wasn't because they were already claimed. I also checked and the Daily rep missions were still only rewarding 2500 Reputation not 5000.
1) A 30-day run is counter to what was said on stream. I think CulturedSoup said it'd be closer to doing Tier 4 into Tier 5, which would only be 8 days sponsored. I'm saying this more so it can get back to the newer on-camera devs that they need to have their numbers right or close to right, or just not say anything (like, "I'm not sure, but it's shorter than doing the rep Tier 1 through Tier 5 unsponsored, that much I can say.")
2) Prices seem fine for the Fleet Ship Module, Skill Respec, and Vanity Shield. Not needing Elite Marks, EC, and/or Dil helps a ton. I can grind out Marks for these.
3) The price of the gear discount seems high. I'm paying for 1 piece of gear to get a 50% discount on other gear across the account just for that rep. It'll take me 2 pieces of gear per rep to "break even." The third is where I'll start seeing savings. If the rep I'm discounting isn't used much, this seems a waste. I like the 50% discount; I don't like that I'm paying full price on a piece of gear to get that discount. Maybe as I use it more, it'll turn out better in practice, but for now it feels bad to pay full price and only start really saving on the 3rd piece of gear from that rep.
4) Without the tabs I'm used to having for navigation within the Rep, I was confused on how to find my progress within a Tier, what all unlocked at that Tier, etc. I eventually figured it out, but it'll need a new tutorial to highlight where everything is now. (Though my preference would be to bring back the tabs.)
5) I like having bonuses for Rep traits, both active and among the Space/Ground traits. I'm seeing a 25% boost generally, but as kyle mentioned above, 25% on a small addition is close to having no meaningful addition (this is exactly the reason why turn rate abilities that don't combine with anything else aren't desired on Cruisers or full Carriers as the added amount is low compared to, say, an Escort with the same percentage increase). For example, maybe ground traits that boost a skill can boost it by +10 flat rather than +2.5 just because it's 25% of +10.
6) More of a question than feedback...if I discard a Vanity Shield, can I reclaim it somehow? If not, that's another improvement I'd like to see.
7) Because I didn't see it obviously in the, "What do I get at Tier VI" information pop-up, how do I activate the Tier VI rep emote? This could be another piece of information to add to an info screen or tutorial.
This confused me, too, for a bit. A couple things at play:
1) Once a toon is Tier 5 in a Reputation, all characters should auto-sponsor. Any toon not already sponsored gets their project XP doubled.
2) Here's how I got auto-sponsoring to trigger: If you're logged into the character you want to progress a rep on but see it's still showing 2,500 XP for a daily, log it out, log into another character that's Tier 5 in that Reputation, then log out of it and back into your first character. It should now show 5,000 XP instead of 2,500.
Anyone else getting were it zooms in on your character's feet when you change characters?
I only had the wherewithal to go through one rep to T6, Competitive Rep, and the alt-shield visuals were going transparent in the ship status screen unless zoomed in close. The visuals were working somewhat OK on the ship itself, but the raised bits on my JHDC were not showing or only partially showing through depending on viewing angle.
Request: Standard shield visuals as visual shield item for the same price of 300 Marks, once Tier 6 is done at least. There are times I want just the visuals, but don't want to grind out the Elite Marks, much higher amount of Marks, etc. to get them.
I wish the Reputation Info screen was easier to read, as well as having more details like stats and variants (Competitive only showed one Deflector, Engine, etc.)
Reputation Flourish is in the Powers window (press p) and has a 1 minute timer. It might not be implemented in the game yet since I didn't notice anything when I tried it after maxing Task Force Omega to Tier 6.
This. 150k would be sensible. 200k would be understandable. But 50% more to get from T5 to T6 than from T1 to T5? And I'm assuming this is not account unlock? That is punishment we don't deserve.
Also, can we get an auto-complete special item on Drozana? Hard to test the reps when we have to grind 30 or 60 (since the sponsorships aren't working) projects per rep to even see what's going on.
yes

Thanks gonna have a play once av done the breach a million times lol
It depends on which currency you're measuring. For non-Omega reps, the Space equipment set pieces cost 40,000 EC, 32,500 Dilithium, 5 Elite Marks (if any) and 750 marks. The discount project costs 100,000 EC, 20,000 Dilithium, 5 Elite Marks (if any) and 150 marks. You never make up those Elite Marks, it takes 5 space gear pieces to make up the EC, you are ahead on dilithium after your second piece and you are ahead on regular marks with your first piece.
Only Gamma rep gets sponsored, and you can neither create nor use sponsorship tokens.
Inventory sorting is broken; the things that used to be at the top are now at the bottom and not in any sort of order (they randomise when you click sort).
I can no longer deposit or withdraw items from the account bank.
Getting the skills invalid message too.
The vanity shields look great and each reputation does get an additional energy type for it's energy weapons. Unfortunately, it appears each reputation gets a single shield variant and a single additional energy type. As such, there are no variants of the assimilated, maco, honor guard, or romulan shields (the new romulus rep vanity shield is actually the reman one). There are also no variants of any non-energy weapons as far as I can tell (so no new weapons in omega rep for example). This is probably what was expected by most people, but is worth noting nonetheless.
The reputation flourish does appear to be completely nonfunctional, although i couldn't say if it's because it hasn't been added yet or if it's bugged.
Unfortunately, it's pretty bugged. Raising a reputation to t6 replaces the traits and if you have any of them slotted it results in a state where the trait cannot be removed and your skills are rendered permanently invalid. Respecing does not remove reputation traits and traits you don't have cannot be unslotted.
Edit: Seems the permanent skills invalid issue is separate from the traits problem as replacing the old traits with new ones didn't fix the skills invalid problem. Additionally, you can replace the old traits by dragging new traits over them instead of checking the active box on the traits.
The sponsorship thing they are aware of, its kind of an incomplete feature as they intend to get rid of the sponsorship system completely and my guess is the auto sponsorship system is not ready just yet.
Inventory sorting is not broken, it just seems a bit different, maybe they are working on that right now to change how it works a bit.
The account bank bug is tribble exclusive and has been on it for a while, idk what causes it but would be great to see it fixed so I can trade lobi on tribble between my toons again.
The skills invalid message I had until the patch, must be a bug as well.
It does not become reclaimable nor even end up in the option to Retrieve it. Of course this is a bit of a thing that nobody would ever really do but I just deleted an ugly shield to see how that goes and of course its gone, project can't be redone and it's not in reclaim or anywhere. Perhaps something to look at it to make the project repeatable when the item is gone or reclaim.

I could SEE MY PROGRESS. I like the visuals I had before.

I really, really, really, do not care to see lists of gets unlocked...I will figure it out eventually.

If you open up Reputations, then close it, then re-open it with the U key, it will have a progress bar, or something like that, I forget the precise alchemical process that I used. This is obviously not working properly, either, and will hopefully be permanent in a later build.
It's fixed. I don't know when they fixed it, since I hadn't bothered looking at it since the initial build, but it is working as of this patch.
And yes, 250,000 XP for Tier 6 is a bit much, We're just one toon working on this individually, not a fleet of characters looking to advance. It'll take 30 daily projects to complete that, 900 Reputation Marks, to get what seems to be a minuscule increase in power to the Traits. Either reduce the cost of tier 6 or increase the power of the traits to match the cost of Tier 6. Please.
if that's what the dev said, he's absolutely correct, as unsponsored 1-5 rep takes 40 days and 5-6 only takes about 30 or so from what people have mathed out
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
No it's broken. Try clicking sort a few times and you'll see that items at the bottom never show in the same order twice, and stacks of the same item do not appear next to each other.
I checked what you mean, yeah there seems to be something off with certain items such as batteries etc, whenever I spam sort it will swap between 2 possible sortings for certain items, however weapons, gear, vanity shields etc were unaffected.
1. The title screen showing the Discovery ship lasts only for a split second so needs tweaking if we are to see it propery.
2. When loading a character I get to watch the feet of my character beam out as it zooms in too far.
3. Every 5 seconds I recieve a popup to tell me that I have BOFF's waiting to be claimed as I never collect them. Surely once I dismiss it it should not keep coming back!
4. When running the projects to get to Tier 6 the reward boxes (for omega rep) were only awarding ground weapons which by this point we are absolutely not needing at all on any toon. Why do we not get a chance at space weapons which are far more usable, other than the obvious fact a space weapon vends for more when chucked?
5. After achieving tier 6 we find out that all those 'you can claim' statements actually mean 'you can run a sometimes expensive project to be be able to claim'.
6. A 2% increase to set weapon damage for the work is probably not something people will really be pushing for and will probably get ignored by the majority of the playerbase.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Did they remove the Doff costs for some of the Nakura consumables?
