Space Trait issue notwithstanding, the Undine don't appar to wear clothes as such and it would therefore make little sense for us to be able to customise them to wear costumes.
They`re shapeshifters. Could actually be the one BO that has all options available.
They don't want people who grind the rep super-fast to get the rewards ahead of other people who just do the daily project.//Fast grinders are a small enough group that delaying our reward isn't a big deal.

Whilst the above probably is true, you have to wonder why on earth they are thinking that way.
Should the rewards not be ready from the get go?
Makeing us have to wait is not really a good option, and it does give the players who have completed the new rep a sour taste in the mouth.
The same thing happened with the Rommie rep and more recently, the Dyson rep, and it does give Cryptic a bad rep. Ok, bad pun, but I had to say it..

They scheduled in time they would need to complete content (T5 and else) and because they scheduled they were are/were able to bring content more swiftly than they would have been able to if they had waited for completion of all content.
Those who have finished already went on a huge hourly spree, but such behavior is an anomaly and not something one can take into account when planning.
So the real question is if you would have preferred to have the season release delayed while the devs finished the last content OR that you wait for one or two weeks for the final T5 rewards during which time you can still play and enjoy the new content.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

I was thinking an Undine BOff seems likely with the Bajor Infiltration animations/behavior.
Probably has alien/humanoid customization options but, in combat, turns into its "true" Undine form, unlocking abilities like the ground/lava effect.
By making its normal form humanoid, they get around the issue of it sitting in chairs or people complaining that its non-customizable.
Maybe it's far simpler: An undine Botanist doff called boothby.

I'm pretty sure limiting the hourly to 3 per day was in itself "taking it into account when planning," along with being an obvious measure to make it easier to plan around.
See, it's not always best to be first! Hopefully, like the Dyson Rep, they'll fix the reward by the time I get to it. I just do the one daily rep project since it's most mark efficient. Just hit T4 a couple days ago.
Not sure if Cryptic is just full of procrastinators, forgets the overachievers get to max whatever sooner than they think before they get around to programming the reward, or thinks no one will notice no max rep reward. They can't honestly think players will grind all that and not get what we got for the previous reps?
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
I am disappointed. I'm not really interested in the gear, ground or space. The traits are kinda meh. I only started 1 toon on the rep with the idea of giving out sponsorship. With no rewards I'll probably just finish his rep and stop there. The queued missions are not very good and the space BZ isn't rewarding enough to counter the annoying snot-balls and mega-gravwell spam.

Its the dayli (2500xp, 30 marks) and 2 hourly (2x200xp,2x20 marks) Projects...a total of 2900xp, 70 marks per day...you need 100000xp, total = 100000/2900 = 35 Days x 70 marks = 2450 Marks.
So...now count for yourself how much bonus marks you get daily and how much marks you get for killing the planet killers one time a day...i dont think this is much "powerleveling" or "abnormal"

That's no excuse. If they don't want people getting the reward until after X amount of time, then they shouldn't give the ability to get there faster.

Stop overthinking it. It's just The Cryptic Way: "Coming for Season 9: Undine Rep." "Coming for Season 9.5: Undine Rep Tier 5 Rewards."

A boothby undine botanist doff would be interesting and it would even have some basis in canon (from the Voyager episode with the 8472 training facility).
The Klingon variant is a little more challenging... an undine Entertainer doff based upon the Loresinger?

Counter command reputation T5...so there is no reward at T5... Not even marks or Dil?
Just finished it and i am very, very disappointed. I hope it will be implemented soon. :mad:

I was just thinking re: Krenim rep.
It would be cool if we used their temporal tech to actually witness the fall of the Iconians
The downside? Imagine it's a Year of Hell type rep where the T5 cutscene resets you to Tier 1. ;-)

and have it take twice as long... and temporal investigations(cyptic) will not tell anyone tell anyone about. the rage would be fun, and the hater would get to be right :P
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

I signed in to do reputation every day (this is what Cryptic wanted us to do in the first place anyway) but I wasn't in a hurry since day one of Season 9. Now I'm Tier Five, after what, a month and a little more?
So why was this reward...left out...again? Is this going to happen for future reputations? And why? Why does this stuff go onto holodeck incomplete?
Oh wait, stupid question. This is Cryptic Studios we're talking about here. It's SOP for them. :rolleyes:
More likely than your snarky and cynical speculation is that the rewards delay keeps people who have reached T5 playing in the zone longer to gather the marks they want for their projects.
Keeping more people in the zone longer is good for the rest of us who are farther behind and might otherwise lack from a shortage of allies to help us achieve our goals.

I can't escape the idea that "The floggings will continue until morale improves" being applied to the players is more likely, though.
Isn't a "Job well done" it's own reward?
lol.....sadly probably true.
Although, whats wanted is Trendy with a bacon flavoured whip being unleashed on the cryptic QA team.
A) They're still working on them.

Hush.. the OP clearly does not know that.

Please don't tell me that I wasted my time with 6 alts to do the Undine rep....the T5 rewards were the only reason I did it with them....:(

See Season 8 for examples.
Because making the Tier Five achievement give us a lump of raw dilithium, some marks and such is so difficult.
Unless they're adding five tiers worth of playable mission on at the end, then this is just lazy.
