I am sure that this has been brought up and shot down a few times before, but I really wish they would remove the commodities and other item requirements from leveling up in the rep systems. I don't really mind the grind for Omega and Romulan marks (Nukara is just lame sauce).
But why must I track down and buy 1.5 million EC worth of TRIBBLE for each rep system. Sometimes you have to EC grind to claim your rep grind and that is just BS. At least Omega has the good sense to require the same TRIBBLE for all tiers, Romulan and Nukara don't and that is just rude. It needs to only require the marks and if they must require something else then experience can be the second item.
Remember to purchase the commodities from Space vendors, such as the one near SOL in sector space. That at least keeps costs lower than buying from station vendors or your replicator.
Very true, with all of the different commodities you need you end up visiting Sol, Vulcan, Andoria, DS9, Memory Alpha, plus one or two others. Worth the trips, but a serious and unnecessary pain in the TRIBBLE
While the reputation system is nice, it is also one of the most inconvenient things that could be on here. I liked it while it was only the Omega and Romulan, but adding the Nukara rep system in combined with the two previous and the fleet, It just requires way, WAY to much dilithium. All it is doing for me now is draining my assets and taking forever to get anything done. I liked it better when the Omega was on DS9. It made that station worth going to, and now there is no reason to visit really anymore. I can do everything from ESD. It kind of removes the exploration feeling of the game, kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me.
With 14+ toons, the rep system has seriously hit me hard. I'm mainly focusing on about 2-3 toons at a time, but after having gotten 2 toons to Omega T5 and 3 toons to Rom T5 I'm starting to be burned out from it. Right now I'm just grinding gear on 1 toon and working on their Nukara rep.

I hate the commodities and personal device requirements too. It's tedious to have to buy them constantly and I don't have the storage space to house dozens of stacks of worthless items for the grind. I'd be willing to pay 5 times as much EC if it would just take the credits as a requirement directly instead of forcing me to track down a vendor to buy the stuff. Its just tedious busywork.
