It would be like the ultimate grind with only the hardest of hardcore grinder in mind.
Players would need to get a rep category to tier 5 in order to unlock each tier in this new Reputation Rep category. Upon reaching each tier, players would then be given the choice to spend dilithium to get access to a rep store where they buy interesting and engaging end game content for a quantity of dilithium.
"So my fun is wrong?"
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
What I'd like is a special box that accepts tufts of hair, which can plug into my machine.
Every time the grind drives me so insane I start to rip out my own hair I can submit it to STO via the box for a 50% reduction in cool down time, and a 25% price reduction for projects across the board.
We will all need to submit our DNA profiles to stop people using wigs or pet hair to cheat the system, but I can't imagine that to be a problem. I'm sure Cryptic will keep such sensitive data extremely safe.
Some may not want to do this, well tough! You know what they say about the needs of the many!
We could even take it one step further where for each alt you have that gets to tier 5 in Reputation Rep, you get access to the next tier of some kind of Account Reputation Rep which would give you cool bonuses, like a 1% discount at tier 1 and 5% at tier 5, on all further reputation projects.
Or maybe we could just have some more interesting ways to grind the existing Reps and maybe some proper end game raids added to the game every six months or so...

And let's throw in the Lockbox Lockbox when this new Rep. launches! Basically, you use a master key to open a lockbox that may reward you any of the current lockboxes, that you open with another master key afterwards! :P

Oh that's just win. LMAO

What I would like is a account Reputation Reputation that whenever you do something from a Reputation from any of your characters your account Reputation improves and when it advances in tiers everything from all your characters reputation becomes cheaper and quicker to research.
If you remember completing the crystal event when it came out you got I think 100 or 1000 of something new points.
Those were reputation reputation points.
But hey it's no worse than trying to explain the reputation costume unlocks to people.
You unlock the unlock system at level 50. Then you unlock the permission to unlock a tier putting in resources and after you unlock that you can unlock the costume.
But this would be so much more than that and wouldn't even require anything as troublesome to create, like new content, as this grind would be micro-transaction grind in it's pure form which fed off other grinds that use existing content.

It needs a new lockbox that drops only 0.5% of the time which contains a lockbox ship that only drops 0.5% of the time. Another option is the Russian Matryoshka Doll Lockbox or Nested Doll Lockbox. Nested Dolls are those Dolls where they is a doll inside each doll until there is finally a tiny doll. The probability can be adjusted accordingly, but the final lockbox has a 0.5% chance to get it from opening up the second last lockbox.

Are these new lock boxes only available from the Reputation Reputation Store at a cost of 15k dilithium each?
Or perhaps Elite Ultra-Rare Versions of these Nested Doll Lockbox Lockboxes could be tied into the fleet system in some way?

What they need is a tab from the fleet that tabs into your toon, so the only way to advance your toon is your fleet donating to you! The projects cost no less than 1000 marks and 200 duty officers.
The missions?!?!?
Missions where your weapons are disabled and the only way to defeat the enemy is with ramming speed, and of course it's on timer so if you dont ram speed to death your enemy in 5 minutes, you fail! OH THE WONDER
Like the generousity with Azure, you get 10 Marks for completion for 15 minutes of your time. MORE THAN FAIR!
