Do you think the higher Dil price is due to the relative ease with which one can complete the Dyson Rep ?
Thinking that's what they did... Made the Rep easier to complete, but bumped the cost of the Rap items..
There is NO OTHER SET that costs this much, not by a long shot.
Uh, what are you talking about? All sets have this kind of price tag. Every Core Set is on the order of 30K per piece. They're pretty much all outlandish ripoffs.
The only difference between this set and the other reputation sets is that it has a Warp Core as part of the set. If the devs ever added Warp Cores to the other sets, then they would cost about the same. The price for each set piece has a similar dilithium cost. Besides, unlike the other sets, you can start working on them sooner instead of waiting to Tier 5.
I'm not breaking up any of the sets I already have (*), so if they want me grinding for a new one, it'll have to be a combination of consoles, DHCs, and turrets. All Antiproton-centric or cover-all generic, too.
I'm more disappointed that the Dyson set doesn't buff polaron damage, what with the reputation weapons being protonic polarons. I'd get the Dyson shield and keep the Dominion engines and deflector(which buffs polarons too). The Dyson warp core is TRIBBLE without an [AMP] modifier and the two piece set bonus isn't worth using the core and the shield. And Proton Barrage and Reactive Shielding aren't worth giving up the 13% bonus to polaron damage.
I always get sticker shock from Rep equipment requisitions. But in the case of the Dyson set, the rest of the rep is so cheap, it's not a bad deal overall.
Sticker shock is a tad rough because of the added core. But i am kind of looking forward to trying out a build nearly entirely from the Dyson rep tree.

Its also not like you have to get it all at once. I've been using the time between each tier to grind enough marks to get each set piece right when I hit that tier. And since you get plenty of dilithium for doing those quests, its been a cinch to afford each piece as it comes up. I'm about 10 days away from T5 and I already have enough for those set pieces. Now I'm just getting marks so I can make sponsorship tokens.
Don't we wish. Other Mk11 stuff gives 97% the ability for half the cost. But I guess they wanted to make sure we spent $10 per ship for gearing up rather than $4.50.

That pretty much seems like the real rip-off here.
No chance for people who don't care about those last 4-5% of performance, those who want to just test it out, those who want it to equip a ship they rarely use or those who want the ground set for one of their boffs to buy the Mk X or XI and save a bit of rescources.
And then the go ahead and tell us about it, as if it was a good thing and a great, new feature when they removed the Mk X and XI versions and that they did it for us...

you can refine 8000 dil per day, each part cost 30.000 dil.
you need 4 day per part o_O
i bought an Haakona by refining about 300K dil ... it took me about 6 weeks.
then i bought 4 fleet modules: 280K dil ... other 5-6 weeks.
now i have a full customized Fleet Ha'Feh, with Adv.Fleet Weapons, 2 part KHG set, Elite Fleet Shield and Elite Fleet Warp Core.
and i never bought zen.
i think you can spend 2 weeks for a set

Dyson set at 4 pieces are 4 items for what, 140,000? Sounds about right, because you are buying an extra piece...
Honestly, it's not that bad...

I never get tired of watching mathed weapons detonate.

I think you'll even have enough to get one of every Dyson rep item aside from dil store stuff.
