I thought the plan was to give KDF exploration sector missions some Marauding points in their rewards. Has that been scrapped?
Either way, yes, Diplomacy is too easy to advance compared to Marauding. Nerfing the diplomacy xp rewards for DOFF missions did not fix the disparity, either, because you don't need to do DOFF missions to get diplomacy xp.
Simply lowering the break points for the Marauding tiers doesn't make up the difference, even if (improbably) the Marauding DOFF rewards stay at their current levels.
To make them both comparable in difficulty requires giving Marauding a second source of points outside the DOFF system. That, or take away the Fed diplomacy rewards for missions, which I expect would be all kinds of flame-bait, with good reason.
Then again, why do we even still have those silly exploration cluster missions? Weren't they on the drawing board for a total revamp?

I'm not 100% clear on all of the details personally, but yes... there will be something more akin to parity between these two, very soon.
Watch for more details to be posted once the changes are ready to appear on Tribble.
I hope this also applies to the other commendation trees, too.

What do Kingons get for maxing out the Marauding...I think the Feds got a uniform or a diplomatic jacket.
May I suggest, something like this:
