EDIT: Wow 2 space sets that benefit mines and further ground mines! I am loving the sound of this new reputation , Really looking forward to trying out all the mine items. For me this is the most interesting reputation in years.
If rear, I'm liking it. Doubtful I personally would use it if I had to sacrifice a forward weapon slot though....
not for a short duration ,maan ... come on
HA! I missed that. Well, that might be a fun one to at least give a try.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
Inspired! Kudos to the wit who coined that; I laughed out loud when I read it.
Could you please at least make PVE queues drop ANY type of rep rewards? Some of those queues are perpetually empty and no way to get fill in any of the reps anymore.

Yeah they had me at this too.
That said, the equipment looks really good, I'll definitely be utilizing this reputation for a couple of polaron based characters.
Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

The space set items & set bonuses sound good. That warp core is definitely made for Tour of the Galaxy. I like that the set bonuses have (stacks with teammates). That is a welcomed addition.
The space weapons & set bonuses look fun too. "Deep Space Mine" is indeed a descriptive tribute.
The ground set & bonuses seem good enough. I was hoping for an Energy Harness armor, is there one from a reputation or mission reward?, but the +10% weapon damage is a nice set bonus & again the (stacks with teammates) is a nice feature.
Out of the 3 kit modules they all seem okay, but the Tactical seems a head above the rest with it's team-wide abilities.
Lastly the traits' choices will propose interesting choices pending one's build. I like that 'One Little Ship' but a Danube Runabout only seems canon for Federation characters.
That is sad indeed, if Cryptic ends-up not including the Vorta talk about a missed opportunity & perfect time to include them too.
No mention about completing the reputation to unlock playable Cardassian neither, but there's that mini-Danube combat pet, so the playable Cardassian will probably be Zen purchasable alone or in the VIL package.
They ALREADY said that playable Cardassians were gonna be a Zen purchase.

With it in the big Gamma Vanguard pack, you know that means it will also be available on its own in the C-Store.

colored text = mod mode
Now all I need is something that allows me to maintain full impulse while in combat for my exotic Vesta.
The Remans are in both the C-Store and the Romulan Reputation, so there is precedent for the idea of using a new Rep as an alternate way to get a new race.
I have been experimenting with a control-polaron combination type of build on one of my toons after I got the Son'a science vessel for him which has the trait that allows you to greatly increase critical chance - that build could certainly put some of this new equipment to good use.
The ground gear then:
The kit modules don't look that interesting to be fair. Our enemies can see our mines, yet they will still walk over them so I don't really see the advantage of having cloaked mines (except in PvP perhaps). The science thingy sounds a lot like Melorazine - except that Melorazine can get additional effects through Doffs, whose powers usually don't apply to most of these more special kit modules, unfortunately.
The tac module looks the most useful, but that will depend on the size of the effects of course.
Some of the new costume parts look great, I hope they will be available to all factions like the ones from the Competetive reputation. I also hope we'll be able to combine them with other uniforms.

They could still be in some where or come in shortly afterwards.

What they haven't mentioned yet are Cardassian boffs.
Given the nature of the GQBZ it should be an easier reputation to feed beyond 100K, especially if the events do properly scale for the unlikely-but-possible instance of one participating operator. The new queue, I hope, will benefit from having more developer attention paid to it fully (as opposed to being divided among 2-3 queues)... hopefully it (and new episodes) will bring back career-specific optional objectives ('Mine Enemy', 'Facility 4028', and 'Boldly They Rode' come to mind as examples), given as those would synergize nicely with the concept of scaling rewards.
As for the matter of sets...
The kit modules all appear solid (I would also add to this unlock tier a crafting recipe for consumable versions of the hypospray) as do the traits; Enhanced Sensors in particular stands out as a recommendation for science captains, and Magnified Munitions' description should explicitly state weapon damage (as its space counterpart does) - which ties back into apparent lack of proofreading.
And there's the other explicit episode nod. I do wonder if that counts as a drone for the purposes of certain doff effects; bonus points if this also unlocks a non-combat pet version of the thing... now that I think about it, there're lots of ships that it'd be amusing to have treated that way, case in point being the Tarantula (hypothetically unlocked by destroying all named Tarantulas at least once). Speaking of pets, we still want the Nukara vanity drones back.

Since the first definition doesn't deal with weapons and the second one does, shouldn't the new console be called a Console – Universal – Ordnance Accelerator Mk XII?
Someone else already said it well...
