Speaking from someone who actually got bored doing the crystalline event so can't be bothered to log in. this does little to interest me, More grind and now leaves me even less thrilled with the AOD season.

I’m hoping for this aswell but with the protonic weapons. As I’m reading I think they’re just going to be the rep sets like we get with the mission weapon set rewards. I think it would be like the quantum phase set coming out in other energy types. I soooo want protonic phasers

It looks normal within quotes. This is what it looks like for me in Firefox.
I think this is an amazing design decision. The new producer team really hits the spots here basically. ViL was a success design-wise and the way we're heading seems to be great.
I tend to believe they've learned alot and you will no longer get useless nerfs just to avoid working on NPCs.
I believe in their way of building stuff and I think that makes worth buying that zen or that lifetime subscription - as a sign of support at least.
"Obtain new Energy Type variants (ie, phaser, disruptor, etc) for each Set Weapon"
That sounds very nice. Terran Task Force ... Phasers, Lukari Piezo-Plasma beam, bio-molecular quantum torpedo etc. . I guess one will be able to build very interesting things with that.
One quality of life improvent that is very close to the announced improvements ot the reputation would be to allow equipted weapons to have the same visual effect. I.e. say I have normal disruptors, a Terran task force, a bio-molecular, a Lethean, a kinetic cutting beam in the back etc.. I would be very nice if one could adjust the visuals of the equipted weapons to be of one type only so weapons look more coherent. Maybe as a graphics option, off, only my ship (i.e. you still see rainbows on other people's ships, perhaps useful for PvP), all.
Think about it. This would be a very useful quality of life improvement fitting perfectly with the announced changes to the reputation system.
Now make it so!
A zero cost way for Cryptic to finance and expand the foundry
How nice of you to tell us this nearly at the end of the Crystalline Event instead of before. A Crystalline Event that doesn't even let us get Gamma Marks. Great communication with your community.
As of yet, we don't even know whether we can still use our old rep Marks. And the newly announced Task Force queues, with multiple-choice Marks, seem to suggest those choice Mark packs may well be removed from other things, like RA's.
Level cap expanded. Max item Mk expanded. Reputation level expanded... Coming soon: Tier 5 duty officer progressions, R&D max level expanded to 25, Admiralty max level expanded to 15, Fleet Starbase tier VI...
Eek! You can't keep a game fresh by just increasing the grind (hoping this was kinda your point)
A new* space or ground special event along the lines of Sompek once every 60 days sure would be fun though so folks could put all that shiny gear to good use.
Change is needed. It's good to see them asking a lot of questions the past while and I sincerely think they're trying. Expanding existing systems to higher levels isn't exactly innovative, but does provide something to work towards temporarily. Hopefully STO's new EP is here to provide some fresh thinking and innovation. This game has some incredible potential.
So, if Sponsorship tokens are going away (I assume, by the auto-sponsored wording), what happens to the Rep Sponsor Titles?
I rather enjoyed collecting those on my characters, even though it took me like 5x longer to grind reps on all my characters.
For those that keep stores of sponsership tokens... why???
I only create them on demand. It takes like 5 seconds.
Your first paragraph kind of answers the question of your second. For the titles really. The tokens come with getting the title on the first time with each character.

Why would they change what marks are needed!? They haven't said they are changing them!
And as for adding Warp Cores to the Omega Rep etc, I'd prefer that they do not as I use Elite Colony cores which are better.

Roundabout way of finally getting a non crafted plasma omni into the game.
Not really adding anything NEW though, just upgrades or sidegrades of existing stuff.
If the autosponsor kicks in at rank 5 then I'm expecting the jump to rank 6 to be inflated to the pre-sponsorship levels. Because nongameplay timesinks are AWESOME, apparently.
Cosmetic shields, meh. Although at least they're not buried in the Ican'tbelieveitsnotgambling box under a chance of a chance!

Yes, this is exactly the kind of content you should be developing! Alternate advancement mechanics work so much better than creating extra levels making obsolete the last level's starship, content, etc.
I also love the the sheer diversity build options that this allows for. Thank you!

And adding new levels or editing experiences further to help us work and test our newly setups, in the future. We got alot of work to do when this is gonna be implemented.
Thing is, though....there needs to be "something" added so players can TEST themselves in PvE content...a challenge along with all this newly added gear and power. You know? Is THAT coming, too?
And not just TEAMS, either. Solo artists need testing grounds, too.

I like the idea. Wish this would have happened sooner since I’ve already poured so much time and resources into existing Rep weapons (procuring and getting them to epic). I’m hoping the next major enhancement to STO will be something like battlezone improvement or something to make me keep coming back once I’ve lined out my Rep6 weapons. Otherwise I’ll be back to where I am today with fleshed out ships and the same queues and mostly boring empty battle zones.
The 2 pc. set bonus for Nukara weapons is Tetryon damage , will this change to +energy damage ? If not , what good is a Nukara dual beam phaser bank ? or any other damage type ?
Comments
I'd be more interested in a smaller version of the MACO battle rifle than alternate energy types. The current version looks too big.

Isn't that just a normal market reaction to something falling out of the current meta?

This should decisively end any (self-created) rumors about you not being space rich.

more grind with the current queues, that will be awful, even if the rewards are cool.
Your first paragraph kind of answers the question of your second. For the titles really. The tokens come with getting the title on the first time with each character.
Go into your Options Screen, and turn down Bloom Intensity to about 20%. That will solve your 'too bright' surface issues.
