To me the Fed needs a lone Rep and so do KDF. This way they can have their own style of gear. Similar to the Romulan Rep.
I kind of like this idea. Problem is, no matter how you spin it, it would require specific work for the less populous factions, and that just doesn't happen anymore. A Fed-specific rep, sure, but convincing them to produce a ground set with armor visuals specifically for Romulans has been a futile endeavor since LoR, so the odds of them doing a KDF rep from the ground up are indistinguishable from zero.
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"

A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
I may be wrong but there has not yet been a reputation with phaser damage type. It looks like the temporal chronitons will be another AP-based weapon. We just had yet another AP boosting universal console with the Crystalline event....with the 50th anniversary of TOS coming let's have some phaser love!
These are the reputation damage types as far as I remember:
Omega - N/A (kinetic cutting beam and plasma torp)
Romulan - Plasma
Nukara - Tetryon
Dyson - Proton
Counter-Command - Disruptor
Delta - Polaron
Iconian - AP
Terran - Disruptor
Temporal - AP (Chroniton)
The Dyson Rep Rifle, (Dyson Experimental Proton Beam Rifle) does ACTUAL proton damage.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

TOS Phaser type would be nice. TOS Phaser Cannons would look sweet.
A reputation set of blue TOS style phasers to compliment the quantum set would be fantastic.
The Andorian Phasers are Blue, They look great with the quantum set
We don't know they didn't exist. Just that we never saw them. I say the rapid pulse firing of ball turret phasers in TWOK, as well as the pulsed phase cannon emitters in the NX Columbia and Mirror NX enterprise suggest that some capability along the lines of cannons was well within the realm of possibilities of Starfleet in the 22nd and 23rd centuries.
I was hoping the new chroniton weapons would work with any of the damage specifc consoles,removing the restriction that it would have to be AP...(say if you have polaron..) Its a pipe dream I know...But it would be cool..

It is somewhat strange we now have chroniton/temporal-themed energy weapons in every damage type except phaser and disruptor.
I could go for a tri-faction reputation that has a unique weapon set, and visuals that are dependent on what faction you are apart of (Fed, Rom, KDF). Though in the end if you spend into a tier five project that costs a lot of dil/marks/EC that than grants you access to all three faction-specific set's projects.
We try to make reputations around a narrative, tying the damage type into it.
I also *may* have pushed a bit for Chroniton once we knew this was going to be Temporal-themed.
...

I totally pushed. Nobody can prove I shouted RAINBOWS in multiple design meetings, so it's fine

funny note: on the first few episodes [at least half the season] when kirk was refering to enterprise weaponry simple as "phasers" it was shooting energy balls [like STO canons does] but then at some point they started to talk about phaser BANKS and it was only then when enterprise started shooting beams - also - they were blue :P

Its not that astounding - the energy type is based on/themed to the group you are working for. One problem with the Federation being THE default 'who you're working for' is it makes them quite redundant as the patrons of a Reputation track...
Hence a Section 31 Reputation track: Not your usual boss. Still prefers phasers. Done and done.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

But I don't like the interpretation of Section 31 as a legitimate intelligence agency in service of the Federation. I think they should stay a rogue element, or stay ambigious. Turning them into a reputation would imply they are something legitimate.
Maybe if we ever get an exploration-related content addition, with a new exploration mechanic, maybe they could make something like the "Gamma Quadrant / [PreviouslyunknownSectorBlock] / Andromeda Expedition Fleet" Reputation.
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
Could be anything at this point.
We've pretty much run out of enemies to steal stuff from so it's probably gonna be something completely new. Spehre builder weapons? JJ phasers?

We have a Romulan reputation, so we could just as well have plain Federation and Klingon reputations.

Those Dyson weapons are Polaron, as well.

Yup, it does.

And Undine does not count.. those puke green abominations are not proper Phasers.
We need a Reputation with true Phasers..the orange ones.. that also offers an Omni.
Blue Phasers are also acceptable, though they just look like Tetryon.. They should probably be Orange.

Andorian phasers are not reputation weapons.
My character Tsin'xing
If you ever feel like pushing for a phaser based reputation in the future, I'd love to see a proper (orange coloured) plasma phaser weapon set. In the past I'd suggested adding them to the Omega Reputation, since in TNG they were mentioned as being anti-Borg weapons.
