The T5 cutscene is still in development. Once we get it out to players, watching it will also allow you to claim your T5 rewards. This includes:
750 Dyson Marks
32,000 Dilithium Ore
40,000 Energy Credits
A large amount of expertise
And a special reward we can't reveal just yet
The above is subject to change, but that's the current plan...
Well I just completed my Dyson T5 a couple hours ago. I was quite disappointed in the lack of rewards. Someone in-game pointed me to the above post.
Sigh.
Ah well. I have to say I'm similarly disappointed with the new "Heavy Combat Armor" costume. We can't make it look "canon", nor how we see it in our Rep. The color pallets don't match. Primary color pallet is only a few shades of dark-to-light-grey, the shoulder pads are different, and we can't make the glowy-bits light up, either (the latter is my biggest disappointment).

You can get to T5 rep this soon by slotting 16 small projects a day in addition to the big one. Then it takes 21 days.... of doing nothing else but grinding stupid STO reps.
Also, to all people who did this and now want a reward this early: you deserve nothing, since you didn't do anything productive all day but played STO. Get a life...
Man that obama (lack of ) jobs program and welfare membership increases is really paying off for STO users....

Those shoulderpads are from the Voth Lobi costume. I'd hope they unlock for the armor if you have the Lobi outfit. I don't expect them too but given that combat NPCs have them, it would be a nice gesture for folks who put down the Lobi at least.

Its sad that they never give us what they show us. Open up th damned color pallettes on every single gorram costume! I want to be able to make what you showed us.

When I got my Obelisk carrier. I was thinking either go and grind out Dil to finish putting gear on it. Since I don't have nothing to boost antiprotons. Or go and do the new Rep to see what happens. Seems I did the right choice. So this will buy them time to do the last cutscene and get the rewards ready. Since the prices on the exchange is ridiculous. I rather just grind it out and get it.

Forget that! I want a huge gun that fires bacon (BaconBazooka!) at the dino's, allowing me to take advantage of their distraction & run whilst they feast!
No No No. You all have it all wrong. The suprise rewards are PokeBalls, so we can catch 'em all!

Somone posted a way to exploit in here a while back. Apparently it was (still is?) possible to slot the 2500 rep twice and gain 5k rep a day.
No is not possible anymore, it was fixed but wasnt put in the patch notes. I've tried when i hit tier 4 and didnt worked, altho it did worked at toer 2 and 3
But on topic, its actually a good thing that tier 5 rewards are not finished, now i can take it slow, so no hurry.

Wait, so the colour options someone posted during the Tribble testing ( http://i.imgur.com/2fnPlkl.jpg ) have been reduced and/or removed?! A few shades of grey sounds like the MACO colour scheme; did someone goof and attach the wrong palette before they went live?

Well, your picture is showing a Female KDF Orion, I'm using a Male Fed Human, so perhaps the color pallets are different as they are with normal clothes, but yeah, main parts on the armor are limited to only a few colors (no greens or reds or any "blue" greys, either) and there is no color options for the glowing bits on the chest or helmet face. Those are jet black. Curiously, if you enable the armor visuals (ie instead of using the "costume"), the chest glowing bits and helmet facing glow with a sort of cyan color.
I plan to open a ticket/post pictures, I just haven't had a chance.

Do Cryptic devs wrap up empty boxes for their family and friends at Christmas? Or a box with a note inside, saying "my present to you is something COOL! But it's not ready in time for Christmas. You'll get it...soon...maybe. Or something."
Like Ian Malcolm once said - "Erm, you do plan on like...eventually having dinosaurs...on your dinosaur tour, right? Right? Hello?"
The only way to make up for this is for the special reward to be a T-Rex BoFF that eats Tovan and sits at the Conn on your bridge.
Since we're on the topic of uniforms, and it's related (being voth), has there been any images of the uniform from the spire holding? I'm pretty sure there was one... wasn't there?

I was looking forward to match the armor with the Experimental Rifle in white colour and greenish glows. But it seems not even the helm visor doesnt have that glow.

This can not be done with the current color pallets. The gun is a "white-ish" color, and the closest you can get on the armor is a "light-grey" color. I can't speak to the green glow, because as of this time, there is no glow on the armor costume.

Dyson...new "Heavy Combat Armor" costume.
...the color pallets don't match [the promo art]
...the shoulder pads are different
...can't make the glowy-bits light up
Hiya! Thanks for the heads up and feedback guys.
Soooo...in reverse order
1. Glowy bits not being glowy is definitely a bug (visor and chest lights). It absolutely shouldn't be black unless that's what you choose. Fix is going in as we speak! Should be in an upcoming build soon.
2. Shoulder pads are different by design to help differentiate between enemy critters and players.
3. Color palette differences are partially because the promo art was generated before the colors, textures, and materials were locked down for the armor. The main metal is intentionally limited to our grey metal color selections, but you should be able to get close to the shot with the three Voth. And the other two channels give a wide range of color options. That said, the shine and reflective properties of metal might look dramatically different depending what zone you are in (different lighting generates different results - same as real life, it's often just more noticeable on metal).
I could live without a BOFF or DOFF. I am thinking it will be the Voth zone nobody can get into. Get T5 rep to be able to enter it for special missions.
I will honestly be disappointed if it's this. I've wanted to go into the Voth zone too, but I'd much rather have a BBF-style Boff like Tovan Khev for my Fed.

Same. It is the same thing as people suggesting that to do Elite STFs, players are forced to do a number of normal STFs to qualify. Now if Cryptic introduced a Nightmare mode that is actually difficult, requires using proper tactics, and requires proper equipment so no common Mk X or Tier 1 ships completing it.
The Secret World has a set up where you have to do each Elite Dungeon (endgame versions of regular dungeons) and defeat the Gatekeeper before you can even do Nightmare Dungeons. You pick which role you play as and the Gatekeeper adjusts their tactics to simulate what a person will experience while filling that role in a Nightmare Dungeon. For example for a Tank, you might have to keep a bunch of npcs safe by taunting the Gatekeeper or a DPS would have to kill the Gatekeeper while avoiding AoE attacks.

Yeah , I'm sure they'll get here before the Season 7 KDF Honor Guard Rep unlocks ...

Damm, thats sux, i am soo disapointed.

Very very disapointing
I'm fairly confident this is not intended. I've passed the report along to the art team.
Cheers,

Thanks Brandon! As Mosul33 mentions, it would be nice to match the armor costume to the Voth Rifle.
