Earth and Qo'nos Reputations

I believe it's time for a dedicated reputation to both Earth and Qo'nos similar to the New Romulus reputation where we get phasers and disruptors that have two standard procs like the romulan plasma weapons.
Phasers: These FED weapons have the standard random subsystem offline for 5 sec chance but it would also gain the benefit of the -25 to all power levels for 5 sec that polaron weapons get.
Disruptors: These KDF weapons have the standard -10 to all damage resistance for 15 sec but it would also gain the benefit of -X damage to all shields that tetryon weapons get.

One phaser variant they could do are the canon plasma phasers mentioned in TNG: The Best Of Both Worlds as an upcoming anti-borg weapon.
And while I'm not opposed to Tetryon like some are... you'd have a LOT of disruptor people getting pitchforks and torches over the idea of "gimping" one of the better damage types by adding a Tetryon proc. Yea some might use it, but the way some of the community is... probably not a good idea.
Thank you for reminding me on that one. lol
After watching those episodes again that would be an amazing combo. If we follow that path, we can have disruptors that have their regular proc plus the phaser proc. Now I know that spiral disruptors exist but they're locked behind paywalls.
I think 12 Reputations is already way too many.
This game needs more Reputations like it needs more bugs. The idea is cool, just no more reputations.
Frankly, I think there is MORE than ENOUGH gear in the game already.
It is difficult enough trying to keep up with what is already available. And, you know, they are going to keep adding on to it, anyways....with every lockbox, every episode, every event...etc..

Then what would you propose we have to work on for endgame content then? Because those reps actually DO give us something to work on after we're all done with the currently available story missions. Like it or not, Rep Tracks actually do give us things to work on in the endgame, otherwise... what do we have?
STFs? What's the point if there's nothing to work towards by doing them?
The endless grind for Dilithium? And spend it on what? Fleet projects?
I keep seeing people saying "we don't need any more Reps", yet don't provide an alternative at all to replace reps with. Rep grind is Endgame content connected to certain areas. That is a fact. Take it away and what do we have left? Mastering ships only gets one so far before you don't have a ship to master. Chasing DPS? No. Not everyone is trying to squeeze out every last decimal point of performance.
If you're going to call for an end to one set of content... then tell us what you'd like to replace it with! Otherwise why bother other than for the sake of complaining.
I kinda agree it would be more interesting an less daunting if reps were a account linked an not character linked factor. So instead of having to level each rep on each character it would be more that each character would donate resources to level reps that are account wide, though the amount of marks an rep exp needed to progress the rep might be higher than normal.
We already have a Temporal Rep.
That'd be my thought. Or crafting. You can whip up normal phasers and disruptors whenever you want. Just keep cranking out those Mk2s till you get a set with [pen].
Well that is more for the temporal accord an temporal cold war, not so much the alliance in the future. So when the beginning factors of the alliance begin to come into being an since we are already temporal operatives they could enlist us to deal with missions an elements specific to the alliance (helping form, or defending it;s creation maybe).
Besides, defending the Accords and the Temporal Cold War would probably fall into the "defending the Alliance" category. Especially since the TLF wanted to wipe out the Federation, which was a key member of the Alliance and integral to the Temporal Accords.
Except they kinda are we all play thru the same batch of mission largely, even if they are simulations of missions. So overall everyone has about the same info as most of the temporal agent content are mission-based an the temporal rep is open to all. Yet that would not stop them from attempting it again via trying to drive a wedge into the alliance, but also could see the alliance of the future wanting some agents to witness the actual period of the formation of the alliance as it's own entity.
