Hey, so... first let me start off by saying that I really enjoy the revamped reputation systems compared to the old ones, which required a lot of unnecessary item fetching. Thank you very much for retroactively applying that to the older reputations!
My question, however, lies in the equipment requisition boxes you get when you begin a project. The items from these seem to be character-bound if they're space, and account bind on equip for ground SOMETIMES, but not for all of the reputations? I've noticed that Omega seems to be character-bound but Nukara seems to be account bind on equip, though again, only for ground equips.
So, the question is... why is any of this stuff character-bound? I'd like to see it all become account bind on equip (both ground and space, regardless of which reputation it comes from), because there are a fair number of these items I'd love to pass over to my alts sometimes. For example, all of my characters are currently running Nukara projects, but the one who specializes in Tetryon weaponry can't get any of the beam arrays, but my other characters do.
All the ground gear i have gotten seems to be bound to character, but then again I do not pay much attention to them and I have not done the Nukara rep.
The gear is typically bound to the character because the reputation system is specific to each toon. However, when you have completed tier 5 of a specific rep system you can now give a sponsorship token to any toon on your account so that other toon can complete the rep system in half the time and spending half the resources as well.
It seems the Sonic ground weapons from the Nukara reputation are account bind on equip. I did know about the sponsorship system, but I was already planning to run my alts through the reputation systems anyway.
I guess I just feel like the items should all be account bound instead of character bound. It isn't as if making that change hurts anyone -- the characters still need to progress through the reputation to gain access to traits and other special perks that can only be obtained in that manner. Having the requisition equipment being account bound only makes it easier to distribute them amongst your characters to who can make best use of them. They're just going to be sold for energy credits if you can't make use of them anyway, so why not simply let them be account bound?
From what I've seen the gear is bound to character the moment you open the box and it's generally TRIBBLE. Most of it goes straight to the trash for a small amount of EC.
I can kind of see why it's bound to character, but yeah, I'd like to see account bound as well. I'd particularly like to see it with the 8472 Counter Command rewards because, for some baffling reason, the random number gods have decided that my Klingon should only get phasers and beams while my Federation science officer only ever gets disruptors and cannons.

As much as I would prefer all of the drops were bind on equip, I would be content to bound to account rather than character.

I haven't done CC with my Fed. But i can definitely say that my KDF toon has only received phaser weapons with the exception of one disruptor single cannon weapon. Single cannon ==> vendor trash... yay!!!!
