Why no Faction Rep????

I'm wondering why with all the nonsense rep grinding in this game now, we do not have a Federation/KDF/Romulan Republic rep? It doesn't have to be endgame, maybe make Aegis obtainable, and some KDF/RRW variant that can be gotten through the normal story of the game. Maybe offer sub endgame consoles/Batteries/Devices.

Queue bellyaching.....

I thought WoW's forums had angry elitist snobs, but I never could have imagined the level STO forums has.:confused:

    I think the list of potential sub-par rewards in your own proposal nails down why said proposal isn't all that.

    Maybe the idea would have more merit if it were worth doing for any reason beyond "to have Tier 5 in the Home Team rep to get sub-endgame loot?" ;)

    unless this is the only rep you could do before level 50.

    They should just upgrade the mission rewards... Mk X (Blue) for L40, Mk XI (Blue) at 45 and MK XII (Purple) at 50.

    Have the missions offer up various weapon type options you can select... Mission A is for Phasers, B for Disruptors etc etc. You can re run em to outfit your ship and you can select various beams cannons turret etc.

    ... and loose crafting with your own cockeyed plan. but thats on your head :rolleyes:.

    more seriously though, crafting is nothing but a husk of its former self, i mean does anyone really spend the time to craft these days and gather everything needed for themselves? it just seems like such a waste besides the rep stuff. crafting needs to get competitive to keep up with this rep stuff or i can see PWE phasing crafting out and mem alpha.

    I'd label fleet gear under that myself. Sure you don't get yet more of those damn traits, but you still grind for marks and EC to buy up gear - pretty much the same thing.

    I was going to say, we lost crafting just after Dilithium was added to the game.
    And yes, as others have said, it would be the only rep you could get during the 1-50, and it would only be useful for characters levelling up, and maybe another idea, you could aquire some kind of shuttle upgrades through this system instead of the few options we have available now.

    Or I would accept a complete craft revamp(getting rid of the outrageous dilithium cost) instead of this idea.

    Well, in the recent FE ("Surface Tension") they did kill off the Crafting NPC by making him an Undine. I would take that as a sign that crafting will be getting a revamp.
