Idea: Cross-Reputation Marks Projects

Hi All

I've noticed recently that there are many people who stock up on certain Reputations, while neglecting others - either because they find it too grindy, or because they don't like the content, or (insert other reasons here).

To solve this, I propose a new group of projects which allow you to 'swap' one type of Mark for another. For example:

Name: Divert resources from Omega Force to New Romulus
Description: Your continued efforts on behalf of Omega Force has shored up the New Romulus borders against attacks from the Borg, allowing them to release more resources to you.
Input: 100 Omega Marks
Reward: 50 Romulan Marks
Time: 15 seconds.

This would allow people who have too many of one Mark type to swap them for another type (albeit at a reduced exchange rate), allowing them to play the content they want.

This would not negate the need to do certain missions entirely - you'd still need Borg Neural Processors for the MkXII Omega stuff for instance.

To implement this, you'd currently need six new projects (two per Reputation). Expanding it to include new reputations as they're released is also pretty straightforward.

Thoughts?

    Except for Omega - the Nukara and New Romulus project items do not require anything specific, like BNP for Omega. So what would stop someone from never earning a Nukara Mark or Romulan Mark in the traditional way, and only earning Omega Marks and then putting them through the grinder?

    Nothing... But that's why I suggested a 2:1 ratio of requirement vs rewards. Perhaps if using this as a way to level up Tiers is undesirable, only unlock it at Tier 5? So it can only be used to get items?
